Smart homes today are Ubiquitous homes

Over the years, the way technology replaced the meaning of hard work with smart work
and ineffectualness with performance. The ordinary floors, walls and ceilings are now
evolved as smart homes in the residential real estate industry with the inclusion of smart
features turning them into ubiquitous homes. Smart homes have the user in mind. Their
very existence is to make life of a user easier, simpler and enhance the overall experience.
You can be sure that any room in your house can be automated in some way or the other
and you can be the king or queen of your castle as you track, monitor and control your
home either at home or away from your home. Total control is now possible from the screen
of your phone.

For instance, if you talk about lighting, Lighting controls that were originally designed for
dimming or daylighting, improve on space utilization, optimize energy have evolved beyond
those original functions, every light point can be connected to the internet today enabling
you to personalize your lighting the way you want, not only that if the control system is
connected to the astronomical clock, it can recreate natural light indoors by itself in a
windowless space specifically to mitigate circadian disruption, optimize mood and visual
experience and improve our sense of well being in better ways than ever before thereby
embracing a more human centric approach to lighting and the built environment
improving operational efficiency with equinoctial and solstice settings, by and large which is
the ultimate driver to use artificial intelligence, machine learning and self-learning to its
fullest extent proving that Self-learning lighting technology is not a competitor with
manually configured systems. It is part of the evolution of those systems.

Going ahead, by 2022 we expect over 50 billion devices to be connected to the internet,
many of them wireless, hence it’s important to have a two way secured, reliable as well
as high speed communication as well as integration between these devices to increase
the acceptibilty and explore the infinite possibilities what IOT and Ai have to offer in
smart homes.

Not only that, You don’t need an expert to monitor, track and tune the lights. Not only
that, if you have a rain forecast during the day, your lights will automatically change
their color to blue before you leave the house and remind you to carry an umbrella
along or change color to notify an important mail, blink lights when UBER is arriving
home, turn lights to red when CO2 levels rise above a certain level.

Innovation and advancements in Led lighting and controls is elevating the human
experience every single day.

It also means that commissioning and configuring lighting has become easier, which can
cut down on the time and cost spent on commissioning work.

Increasing the amount of intelligent wireless solutions naturally decreases the amount of
cabling and manual installation equipment.
A continuous flow of data from lighting and other environmental sensors, users, events on the
site and data from other external sources will create circumstances where “an expert” is
monitoring and tuning conditions all the time. It creates greater transparency and brings light
to the true value of information. Using this data could, for example, help building owners to
optimise energy consumption and, even more importantly,. This could have a negative impact
on cable manufactures and installers; however, it is more likely that good AI solutions, which
will boost the wellbeing of users and reduce costs, will create more new business
opportunities to replace old ones. They will open doors for new types of continuous service
businesses benefitting all parties in the building and lighting business. This will happen when
all parties aim to create the very best user experience and end-user wellbeing, focusing their
activity continuously towards that – delivering optimised lighting solutions.

The amount of sensors in commercial spaces is predicted to grow significantly and as the data
gathered moves into cloud-based platforms, learning and related activity will develop in
several areas e.g. utilising presence sensor data from a lighting system to control room
temperature. As a result, lighting will have a more significant role in the construction and
real-estate business than it does today. New businesses will grow and replace existing ones.
