Home Automation

Over the years the concepts of home automation are entering in our houses, offices and, generally speaking, in our life.

This increased interest is due to the progress of electronics, which made available many opportunities: household devices can now be used in a ways that were before unthinkable, to obtain greater security and peace of mind, better quality of life, more efficiency and leisure with considerable savings in energy consumption.
Home automation, and in particular wireless home automation devices, can be applied to a wide range of products and systems in homes, such as:

  • Safety
  • Energy Systems
  • Heating
  • Ventilation
  • Air conditioning
  • Lighting
  • Electric Utilities
  • Entertainment

Home automations found a great interest from house designers but still collide with end-user scepticism. This is due mainly because domotic systems on the market are often too invasive and difficult to use.

Embit has been working in the field of home automation and domotics, exploiting its experience in embedded and wireless systems, promoting wireless, low-power, easy-to-use home automations. In particular, Embit designed and deployed several ZigBee-based devices (e.g., employing the ZigBee Home Automation profile) and has proven experience in the creation of low-power (battery-based) etherogeneous and interoperable devices.
