Home Automation Technologies

Technology

Internet of Things

The Internet of things, is the internetworking of physical devices (also referred to as "smart devices"), buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data. Use of IoT in Home Automation is going to revolutionize our understanding of modern homes and the way we live.
Technology

KNX

KNX is a standardized, network communications protocol for building automation. KNX is the successor to, and convergence of, three previous standards: the European Home Systems Protocol (EHS), BatiBUS, and the European Installation Bus (EIB or Instabus). Smart Home Iran (Khane Hushmand) is the first KNX Partner in Iran.
Technology

Z-Wave

Z-Wave is a wireless communications protocol used primarily for home automation. It is oriented to the residential control and automation market and was introduced to the Iranian market for the first time by Smart Home Iran through the launch of German "Merten CONNECT" products.
Technology

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks.
Technology

DLNA

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) was founded by a group of consumer electronics companies in June 2003 to develop and promote a set of interoperability guidelines for sharing digital media among multimedia devices under the auspice of a certification standard.
Technology

DALI

Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a standard for network-based systems that control lighting in building automation.
M-Bus
M-Bus (Meter-Bus) is a European standard for the remote reading of gas or electricity meters. The M-Bus interface is very cost effective. A radio variant of M-Bus is also specified.
Technology

ZigBee

ZigBee is a global, standards-based wireless solution that can conveniently and affordably control the widest range of devices to improve comfort, security and convenience for consumers. It is the technology of choice for world-leading service providers, installers and retailers who bring the benefits of the Internet of Things into the Smart Home.
SIP
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a communications protocol for signaling and controlling multimedia communication sessions. The most common applications of SIP are in Internet telephony for voice and video calls, as well as instant messaging, over Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
