With the term “home automation” or “home automation” refers to systems or installations of electric type that allow automatisms. The main point of automation is due to the control of domestic systems with a single unit of supervision. The control unit, which normally takes place in a personal computer, must be connected to the Internet for the control and monitoring remotely.
