Control your home with your Smartphone or Tablet

Imagine your smartphone or tablet enabling features of controlling your home! Smartphones are the closest things to us now. They are the first thing we see in the morning and the last thing we see before we go to bed.



There were days when we fought for the TV remote, but times have changed now. We no longer are bothered about the remote. All we are bothered is about our smartphones. So when we cling to our smartphones to this extent, why can’t we make them work for us?

With the smartphones we can control and monitor the on-going activities of the devices in the house. As it is a device that is close to us, it is easier to access and operate it. Also the device allows operating multi-functional electrical devices.

Now you don’t have to be worried about what’s ON/OFF at home or whether the window curtains are drawn or not. Whatever be the case, can be resolved with a simple click of a button on your smartphone. 

Mornings are times when you are in a hurry and tend to forget something or the other. This is the time many things can go wrong and prove to be dangerous too. For example: You may forget to lock the door which is a clear way for the intruders to get in and loot your home. This can be very dangerous in terms of safety and security. But with home automation, you can lock/unlock your door remotely via your smartphone from anywhere in the world.


Installation of various sensors gives a sense of safety and security. Gas sensors detect and raise an alarm in case of a gas leak letting us to take necessary actions accordingly. The same goes with the smoke sensor. These sensors are installed for safety and security of the occupants in the house. The moment there is some activity sensed in the house, you are immediately notified via an SMS, message or email.
The home automation controlled and monitored with a smartphone or a tablet has a lot of advantages.

Its convenience that makes a difference

If you are given a choice of using a manual or automated product, without a doubt I can say that most of us would go for the automated one. Why? Because of the convenience it offers. Anyone would like to opt for the one that is easily accessible.



With various kinds of sensors introduced today, a motion sensor makes its way to the top with its impeccable features and energy saving capability.

 A motion sensor provides a lot of convenience and comfort after installation. Automation has in a lot of ways changed the way we think about things.

The motion sensors work on the basis of sensed movement. Automatic turn ON/OFF of lights depends on the presence/absence of an entity in that particular area. The light is shut OFF automatically the moment no movement is sensed. This helps reduce wastage of electricity and contributes to a greener environment.


The motion sensors can be installed in the porch area which is a common area for fiddling with the house keys. You definitely would not want to do that. Installing a motion sensor in this area will turn ON the lights once you step in that area and then you can calmly take out the keys and make your way into the house.

A roving eye that you would love!

A roving eye is something that is despised by everyone. But there is a type of roving eye which everybody would love! And it’s an IP Camera. This camera can be placed anywhere within the premises of your residence, office, hospital, hotel, etc.



It can record videos and store them for a certain period which can be watched over whenever needed. You can keep a watch on your property immaterial of the place that you are in. It is a solution to most of your problems. From keeping a watch over children to finding out if any misconduct is taking place in the office, the camera seems to be a life saver.

In hospitals the cameras play a huge role. There are cases where we come across stories which deal with accusations observing cheating leading to losing one’s life. With cameras this can be avoided or caught. Nobody will dare to cheat if they know that they are being watched. It is better to have cameras in these zones as these are known to be sensitive zones.

The camera can be placed in the emergency ward where the patients are kept under observation. If there is any kind of misbehavior or something unexpected happens in the ward, the hospital authorities can immediately take action regarding the same.

Another place which is dominated by the camera is the jeweler’s shop. These shops are seldom seen without a camera. Because it is a place where most thefts are likely to occur. With the help of a camera, the thief can be caught easily by looking at the footage in the camera. Also the footage serves as a valid proof for any misconduct taking place in that place.


The camera can be installed anywhere to watch over the happenings taking place in a particular area. Also the camera can be placed outside the front door to keep a tag of the visitors.
