| Home automation or home mechanization is the | | | | which is often the function room or the living |
| most extensively attained system all through the | | | | room. Such devices can be automated in such a |
| country. The popularity it has gained is mainly due | | | | way that one can listen to music at any given |
| to the innumerable advantages which it offers to | | | | time without disturbing the others by placing and |
| its users. | | | | connecting the speakers accordingly. Inversely, all |
| Home mechanization system has been evolving | | | | the members can listen to music at the same |
| rapidly in many forms for some years now. From | | | | time if needed. This is referred to as multi-zone |
| the uncomplicated intruder alarm to the more | | | | audio system. |
| complex mechanization of multimedia appliances, | | | | 2. HVAC:- |
| this surely deserves to be referred to as one of | | | | HVAC can be elaborated as Heating, Ventilation, |
| the very innovative ideas which the world has | | | | and Air Conditioning. It is also referred to as |
| come across. | | | | climate control. In case, refrigeration is also |
| Any kind of electronically or electrically powered | | | | included in this mechanization system, it would be |
| device or appliance can make use of the home | | | | termed HVAC+R. all the appliances in this process |
| mechanization system. The main idea behind the | | | | can be automated by using several schemes. |
| whole process is to make control all manually | | | | Once this system is adopted, it is not necessary |
| operated appliances in a programmed manner | | | | to maneuver the appliances for setting the |
| under any given situation. | | | | temperature, humidity and other related factors. |
| Prior to this system being used in homes, this | | | | For instance, the air conditioner can be automated |
| was used significantly in big offices and huge | | | | in such a way that it switches on once the room |
| buildings. The main difference between home | | | | temperature reaches a certain level. The same |
| automation and building automation is that the | | | | technique can be used for all the other appliances |
| former is very simple while the latter is quite | | | | which are contained in the HVAC+R system. |
| complex. It becomes easy to maneuver many | | | | 3. INTERCOM:- |
| appliances when the mechanization system is | | | | This is an electronically operated communication |
| employed in big structures. | | | | device which is used for local purposes. The |
| Almost all electronic appliances at home can be | | | | working of an intercom is similar to the working |
| mechanized. Beginning from the lighting and | | | | of a telephone. However, its operation is confined |
| heating system to the safety alarm, everything | | | | to the building or its location. It is used in homes |
| can be automated. In the current era, this | | | | to communicate between rooms. Automation of |
| mechanization system can also be used for | | | | the intercom will facilitate features such as two |
| electrical machines, televisions and other | | | | ways or three way calling. |
| components. | | | | 4. LIGHTING:- |
| Home mechanization can be wireless. In case of | | | | Lighting systems are maneuvered in almost all the |
| buildings under construction, permanent wires may | | | | cases as it comprises of only two steps namely |
| be fixed to the walls and can then be connected | | | | OFF and ON. However, even this system can be |
| to chief controller. Wireless mechanization is the | | | | mechanized to perform the required task at the |
| best option when it comes to houses where it is | | | | stipulated time. For instance, the lighting system |
| not possible to fix wires. | | | | can be automated to switch on at a certain time |
| Home mechanization has grown into a huge field | | | | every day and to switch off after a particular |
| now and there are specialists available to take | | | | period of time as dawn strikes. The system can |
| care of all your home automation problems and | | | | also be mechanized according to the brightness |
| provide solutions. They can be sought through the | | | | needed at different times of the day. This is |
| internet or otherwise. | | | | programmed in such a way that once the room |
| Given below is the list of the most frequently | | | | occupancy is exceeded after a particular level, the |
| automated equipments at home: | | | | lighting system would automatically increase the |

| The most commonly mechanized device is the | | | | There are more such home appliances which can |
