Modern home help, i.e. home automation

« Back to blog

The times when the brave Marysia from the movie "Wanted, Wanted" fought with everyday household chores using various devices that she operated with more or less success are gone. Today, home automation goes far beyond various robots and devices that facilitate everyday household chores. Automation is associated with a concept such as "smart home" / "smart home" and refers to many aspects of the functioning of the entire home.

Home automation means benefits related to functionality, convenience, savings and safety. Nowadays, it is very often planned at the stage of creating architectural designs, but various innovative solutions can also be introduced in ready-made buildings.

Home automation
The growing popularity of home automation solutions and the creation of smart homes is primarily due to the great convenience associated with the daily functioning of the home and economic benefits. It also results from the fact that solutions of this type are no longer luxury goods; the dynamic development of technologies resulted in a reduction in the price level, and consequently in the fact that customers more willingly reach for them.

Home automation is a system for managing various installations, e.g. air conditioning, lighting, alarms, heating, garden sprinklers, household appliances, and window covers. The system can be modified and adjusted to your own needs. You can manage the whole thing using the control panel, remote control or even using a smartphone (application), so it couldn't be easier.

The convenience of use is combined with the everyday, practical use of home automation, for example to set the lighting, open the gate or adjust the setting of roller shutters depending on the time of day and the intensity of the sun - all this is done from anywhere in the house or outside it. Automation also means measurable savings. The settings of home installations can be configured in such a way that they operate in the most optimal way, and thus economical - it is estimated that thanks to this, energy consumption can drop even by several dozen percent. It is also worth remembering about the benefits associated with increasing the security of the building. The system allows you to combine anti-burglary and fire protection (sensors, sprinklers, cameras). In addition, smartphone control gives you access to the view from cameras and turn off / on the alarm from anywhere; Internet coverage is necessary here.

Home Automation in Knall
The entire tab with the home automation offer is available in the Knall online store. In addition to the products, there is also information on what to check before we decide to use a given solution in a finished building. Thanks to this, nothing will surprise us when installing individual elements of automation.

Among the available products, of course, there are those that allow you to control window covers; external and internal. Thanks to them, you can adjust the degree of darkness / protection against heating from any place, and thus adapt them to the prevailing weather conditions. In this way, e.g. a terrace awning will automatically roll up in the event of stronger gusts of wind, and the external roller shutter will lower and protect the window in the event of e.g. sudden hailstones.

The offer also includes camera and alarm systems that make the house safe during our absence. It also includes products that control garage and entrance gates.
