What is domotics?
Domotics or home automation refers to all the technologies and automated systems used to control and manage a home's equipment and infrastructure centrally and intelligently. This generally includes functions such as controlling lights, heating, air conditioning, security systems, household appliances and sometimes even entertainment equipment, via simple user interfaces such as mobile applications or voice assistants.
Domotics solutions, originally designed for single-family homes, are generally unsuitable for commercial buildings or flat blocks for some reasons:
- Firstly, these environments present more complex needs in terms of equipment management and control, requiring greater scalability, customisation and integration than those offered by standard home automation solutions.
- What's more, the diversity of technical systems and protocols used in these buildings often makes it difficult to achieve compatibility and interoperability with consumer home automation solutions, making them ill-suited to these more complex environments.
- Finally, the centralised management and supervision of equipment in commercial buildings or collective housing require specific functionalities that traditional home automation solutions may not provide.
What domotics solutions are there for commercial buildings?
When we're not talking about individual homes, but rather commercial, institutional or industrial buildings, we often use the term "building automation" or "building management" (BMS) or "building automation".
These terms encompass the same idea, the implementation of systems and technologies similar to home automation, but designed to meet the specific needs of commercial buildings or collective housing.
This can include controlling heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, monitoring security systems, managing lighting and optimising energy resources, among other functions.
