Scalability. It is provided due to the distributed logic of the system operation. It does not have a central element, all components are equal and communicate with each other. This allows you to easily expand the capabilities of the system by connecting new convenient functions (for example, controlling household appliances in the house, music, sauna, pool, etc.).
Do you live on a lease or do you have a home? It also matters whether he lives in an old apartment or simply begins to build a house. 
Comfort, safety, energy saving: many aspects can be combined with a smart home. Regardless of whether the building is old or new: "It's always very bad to not have electricity in important places," Sharper points out. However, in the new building, builders can still intervene. Therefore, sit down in time together with the architect and the corresponding masters and, if necessary, the intellectual integrator of the home system to plan in detail the smart house or at least keep it open.
Differentiation of access rights. Smart House from the manufacturer MiMismart makes it possible to restrict the circle of users allowed to view data and manage individual elements. For example, you can restrict children's access to engineering networks, climate control systems, video cameras, etc.
Collection of statistics. After installing the Smart Home turnkey system you can in a convenient format receive meter readings and information on the use of electrical appliances. Information on the consumption of electricity, water and gas can be presented in the form of graphs for the selected period of time.
In particular, this means that you pay attention to some basic cables. Thus, not only are sufficient connectors and switches in the right places important, but the network must also be an additional control network - the so-called bus network. With such a bus network in the wall that runs parallel to the network and connects the switches to devices, it can subsequently be easily converted into a smart home or controlled from the outset.
Aspects of smart house planning in new buildings
For residents of the old building and rental housing, more modular, wireless intelligent home systems are more useful. Therefore, cables should not be laid on the wall. And do not worry: even with wireless solutions, you can realize a full-fledged smart house.
Visual control. In addition to the standard activation of system functions, you can control individual elements displayed on the floor plan of the premises in the house. To do this, use the application on your smartphone or tablet.
Customization. You can independently change the settings of the Smart House system in an apartment, cottage, etc. For example, you choose when and under what conditions automation should work, specific keys for controlling a particular light group, etc.
"It takes 20 minutes to install the starter kit, and then everything is ready," says Christophe Roesseler, who praises the problem without problems. Simply connect purchased products to the network or insert batteries for sensors. Subsequently, through the basic software with a clear interface on the computer or smartphone. Another advantage of intelligent home based radio systems: if you take off, everything can quickly be removed and returned to a new home.
Wireless systems make even an old apartment smart: some systems also understand different standards and combine products. At first glance, there are a large number of suppliers of intelligent home radio systems, so the market initially seems clear. These standards are considered the first.
Harmonious work of all Smart House systems is provided not only through software synchronizing all devices. Intelligent housing technology is based on a combination of gas leakage sensors, voltage sensors, humidity sensors, controllers, wires, control panels and actuators, which are usually hidden from the eyes of residents and guests in walls, floors and ceilings. However, they allow you to manage all elements of smart housing - electricity and water, heating, lighting, ventilation, etc. At the same time, the participation of the owner of the house is almost not required. You can buy equipment for the Smart House with installation in Moscow in the company MiMiSmart. Our systems use various kits presented in the catalog on the site.
Brands of used equipment
They have proven themselves and, having a large number of different suppliers, also offer many intelligent home solutions that can be combined with each other within the chosen standard. As an independent base station, it receives signals from all the standards available in the market, converts them, and then sends them intelligibly.
Start with small solutions in a smart house
Cross-system solutions are no longer limited. Taking into account from 000 to 500 euros, you should expect to feel a positive effect. First, focus on such an aspect as energy saving or light control.
- With the new buildings: let your house directly with the base wiring do.
- Even if you do not need them first.
Touch Control Panels
Touch panels are required for the operation of the MiMiSmart graphic interface. They are the only center through which you control all the equipment of the Smart House. They work through WiFi and Ethernet and can be implemented in various ways:
- stationary display from a PC on which our proprietary interface is installed;
- Wi-Fi-tablet, which can act as any tablet or smartphone based on the operating system Android or iOS, supporting the software MiMiSmart;
- built-in monitor in one of the rooms.
Typically, the touch control panel is located in the hall or hallway of an apartment or house. This allows you to set the desired parameters of the system as soon as you come home, without starting the application on the phone.
Many users use smart house technology to save energy. For the most part, these entry-level kits concentrate on ancillary aspect, such as comfort, safety or energy saving. In the latter case, the most popular beams are those that are intended for heaters. Usually they consist of heating thermostats, the base station is the heart of all wireless intelligent home systems and contact with the window. This equipment corresponds to a typical standard living room.
Controllers
The controller is the heart of the whole intellectual system of the house, therefore our company uses only the most reliable devices with an Ethernet interface. The system is decentralized, does not have a "central brain", which allows to raise the reliability of the system to a new level. All installed control kits have been tested for compatibility with the MiMiSmart interface.
Users can first check out a smart house on a small scale, and then, if they feel safe, spread the system to other rooms. Then, for example, you can link the two aspects of energy saving and security. For who says that the contact of the window controls only the heating? At night or in the absence of residents, he could also serve as a security contact and sound an alarm when the window is opened.
Calculate the budget for a smart home
How often, the budget is also crucial for a smart home. So, think twice about how much you want to invest. Although in recent years, the costs of entire systems and individual components have fallen more and more due to new ways of wireless transmission. Starting kits are often available from 200 to 300 euros. In general, and in complex networks, the total costs can still move in the range of several hundred euros. "Anyone who seriously wants to feel the difference between before and after, is well equipped with 500 euros to upgrade the systems," stresses Alexander Shaper.
Quotation from Wikipedia
The proposed equipment for the Smart House system is able to connect to a large number of users and supports more than 200 expansion modules for signal transmission. Such devices not only enable us to realize the potential of our software, but also have a large margin of memory and high performance for solving a number of specific problems. The price of equipment for the Smart House can not be small, but the breadth of its functionality fully pays for the costs.
Such a solution already includes many elements, and then it is responsible for three important areas of light, energy and security in the house. 
In the case of rigid intellectual home solutions, builders should expect several thousand euros as investment costs to achieve comparable functionality. On the other hand, however, these systems require less maintenance, which is especially important for long-term solutions and especially for the elderly.
Sensors
To create a truly thought-out system for a comfortable life, only the best equipment should be used. MiMiSmart systems use sets of devices with OW, "dry contacts", signals 0-10 V, open collector, having an interface RS485, etc. In our projects we use the following types of sensors:
The cost of a smart house system
Of course, with these sums, the question of when the investment is calculated is justified. With the heating aspect, it's relatively simple, as energy savings are noticeable when billing is done. For example, for old buildings, the cost of purchasing intelligent home components often pays off in two to three years. With new buildings it takes more time. Due to good insulation and lower heating costs, the initial costs of an intelligent home system were often poorly booked here in just five to six years.
- air temperature;
- the level of illumination;
- movement;
- water leaks;
- temperature of the warm floor;
- air humidity;
- methane leaks;
- carbon monoxide and CO2;
- the position of windows and doors.
Smart House MiMiSmart keeps statistics and accumulates the readings of all sensors in the system every second. Directly from the management program Smart House IV, you can always track deviations from the specified parameters and react quickly to the situation.
Of course, it is difficult to determine a certain amount in terms of safety and comfort. Here, everyone should know for themselves that these moments in a smart house are for him. A few years later, dominant systems developed dizzily. What has recently seemed like a fantastic question, is now a reality for many homes. The home automation system can be a simple burglar alarm or a simple spotlight that lights up when someone approaches; but it can also consist of a complex network of automation and wiring, through which we can program the air conditioning of rooms, the opening and closing of windows and blinds, the deployment of canopies and many other devices.
Miniature high-sensitivity Panasonic motion sensors, with a 360-degree viewing angle, are installed on the ceiling in the center of the room. Sensors record the slightest movement and give out to the system not just a signal is there or there is movement, but traffic intensity in percent . This allows you to clearly determine when to turn on the light, respond to penetration or "not see" the dog or cat, excluding false positives. And if a person enters the room, even the slightest movement with his finger will let the system know that it is not necessary to turn off the light.
As for housing. As for the system itself. It is best to choose a system that can be expanded with a large number of devices when necessary.
- It is important that it is easy to use and easy to set up.
- If the house has children, this should be very safe.
Controller: The center that controls, as its own name indicates, the system. Sensors: detect information and act accordingly. For example, presence sensors warn the system when they detect that people are lighting up the lights, activating alarms, etc.
The same sensors are used to control the climate. For example, there is no need to keep the air conditioner on if you left the room.
Temperature and humidity sensors and ambient light sensors are installed behind the switches. It is not only imperceptible in the interior, but in this case the sensors determine the temperature and humidity of the air precisely at the level of the chest of the person sitting. Just at this rest position, we feel a comfortable temperature. Or in the switch at the bed, where it is important to create the right parameters for health.
Drives: These are devices that act in accordance with the information provided by the sensors: turn on the light, lower the curtains, etc. Data bus: This is the transmission channel through which data passes through the system. Sometimes a system shares a network at home, for example, telephone or electrical. There are also systems and devices that operate wirelessly, via radio waves.
Cost of ready sets
With the installation of a home automation system, you can manage all electrical and electronic equipment at home. Lighting is also easily controlled using home automation. The system can be installed so that the external lights turn on when the sun sets, and turns off in the morning. They also serve as a deterrent against intruders, as well as for lighting the entrance to the house. These systems also serve for the interior, and this is a good way to save electricity.
Methane leakage detectors also record not just exceeding the threshold level, but showing in percentage terms the saturation in the air of methane. This allows in the early stages to prevent accidents and indirectly to judge the operation of the boiler.
Water leakage sensors are made in two form factors. These are overhead sensors similar to Neptune. Sensors with built-in LED indicating the status of green, if everything is OK, and red when water hits. For visible places, we use the leakage sensors built into the floor, with sizes of 2 ruble coins, only 2 cm. They also display their state of the LED. But the main thing is that they do not spoil the interior and you do not touch the cable with your feet, which is fraught with the sensor output out of order.
Heating and air conditioning of the rooms are programmed according to the ambient temperature so that they are switched on or off. Another option is to plan them until they get to our house and find a pleasant environment. Automatic watering of the garden can also be programmed so that we do not have to take care of ourselves, or that plants survive when we are not there. There are systems with humidity sensors that activate irrigation when there is no rain. In addition, the home automation system can control the opening and closing of blinds and canopies, as well as windows for ventilation at home at the right time.
Actuators
Thanks to them, the controller can manage all the equipment of the Smart House - heating, lighting, sockets, ventilation and various electrical appliances.
Actuators MiMiSmart in comparison with analogs have a unique advantage, when the device is activated, the relay closes at the moment of phase transition through 0. Thus, the appearance of sparks and sticking of contacts is eliminated. What affects not only the long-term operation of the equipment MiMiSmart, but also the devices that it manages: lamps, televisions, fans and other equipment. A set of disconnect devices that allow you to control lighting and many other functions of the Smart Home. Capacitive equipment allows you to save on electricity and optimize the operation of the system. Water heating control actuator. Thermal drives are installed on the radiators or collectors of the warm floor and batteries in the system. This equipment controls the flow of hot water, changing the temperature of the air in the rooms.

Devices can also be programmed with home automation systems; For example, we can get the oven to turn on for a while before we get home to be able to use it immediately. The house with the built-in home automation system is significantly overvalued, and its selling price can be increased by 0, 5-3%. In addition, lighting control and air conditioning systems require significant energy savings. They are more comfortable and safe at home, and they are very suitable for people with disabilities.
