Home Automation – an application of IoT

In this age of technology everything is getting automated including industrial mechanism, homes and other different sector of business. These automation result in more productivity, convenience, energy saving and cost saving.

Home automation system allows operating, controlling and managing home appliances more conveniently in home and even remotely. It also allows automatic and centralized controlling of all electrical or electronics devices like lights, fans, air conditions, security system and all other equipment that can be connected to the system.


IoT Home Automation

A home automation system implementation includes sensors, Controllers and actuators. These sensors include level sensors, IR sensors, motion sensors, current sensors etc. These sensors collects data by sensing the environment or the element which they are supposed to sense then send that data to the controller .The controllers are the programmable ICs, that receive the information from the sensors, and based on the firmware/program/instruction, they control the actuators. The actuators like switch, relay, motor etc are finally control the home equipment .These Controllers can also be managed remotely through an internet connection.

The field of Home / Office Automation, in most cases the systems have been really costly and not affordable to common people. Thus we thought of a system that would be smart and commercially affordable. So, we come up with a product named “SwitchIQ” that fills the bridge between common people and home automation.

This is an electronics module which is built using a Wi-Fi chip and current controlling circuitry. This device can control power of electrical appliances as per user’s commands. The device can be controlled from anywhere using a mobile phone. “SwitchIQ” can even turn ON and OFF appliances smartly based on pre-defined schedule. “SwitchIQ” converts your conventional electrical switch boards into a smarter switch board. Unlike other Home Automation Systems, the setup and installation process of SwitchIQ is really easy. Even a non-tech person can easily setup the system within few minutes. It’s easy, affordable and turns your existing switches into Smart Switch.


The features of “SwitchIQ” are

Affordable Pricing:

Unlike other home automation products, SwitchIQ is really affordable. Our primary concern is to make it feasible for everyone to use such sophisticated system.

Energy Saving:

The generic regulators used to slow down fans and dim lights, do not really save energy. SwitchIQ dimmers uses phase cut-off technology to lower down power consumption.

Easy Installation:

SwitchIQ can be installed by any electrician easily. If you have a little knowledge of electrical wiring, even you can do it yourself. Once it is installed the mobile app will guide you through the setup process.

Very Convenient:

Installation of SwitchIQ makes monitoring and controlling your electrical appliances very convenient. You can access your appliances remotely as well.
