Hilotech Home Automation Part 3

Our project is basically a home automation system from the future. We really tried hard to make this a feasible solution for problems that we saw related to energy consumption. We did extensive research on the current state of home automation not only at a commercial level but at a scholarly level. We noticed that commercial systems are basically just home management systems whereas the current scholarly research lacks the scalability needed to realize home automation systems in all of our homes. Our current progress is really setting up the framework for this larger system. We really took a hard look at home heating systems and lighting. We focused on trying to make the concept of having a single temperature setting for the whole house obsolete. We have created a zone system that allows automated control of venting units that are controlled by a base unit making decisions based on the state of attached temperature sensors.
