Smart Home: training, further education, information, tips

Smart home refers to the development and use of technical processes, special devices and systems in houses or (private) living spaces that are networked with each other. It is also known under the terms "intelligent living", "smart living", "multimedia home", "eHome", "Internet home", "smart living" or simply summarized as "house of the future".

Smart homes offer users greater convenience, quality of life and flexibility, more security and greater cost-effectiveness.

Energy consumption is improved or used more efficiently, which protects the environment and also leads to lower energy costs. For older people, wristbands with an integrated alarm button or carpets with fall sensors make it possible to live at home for longer and stay in familiar surroundings even if they have health problems. The wristbands are linked to a hands-free system, for example, which can be used to organize help.

These points, together with the digital developments and technical possibilities of recent years, have once again given a powerful boost to smart homes.

Most products and solutions can be adapted and automated according to individual requirements. Demand is correspondingly high.
