Whether you live in an apartment or a house, dozens of connected devices are now available to make your daily life easier. A smart thermostat will raise or lower the temperature based on your movements, automation systems will close your blinds automatically at a certain time, a robot can mow the lawn or vacuum, and smart bulbs, controlled by your smartphone, will change the color of your living room lights or even simulate occupancy to deter burglars. This isn't science fiction; the equipment exists at affordable prices, and above all, it's easy to install and use. Why discuss connected devices and home automation in the same book? The reason is simple: home automation encompasses all the connected devices that make the house itself connected, or communicative. We sometimes even talk about smart homes, these various connected devices allowing the house to react automatically to events (closing shutters during a storm, switching the heating to eco mode when you're unexpectedly away, etc.). The aim of this illustrated and practical book is to provide an overview of what the market currently offers in terms of home automation and connected devices. It will guide you in choosing a solution tailored to your needs and will allow you to combine energy savings, comfort, and security.
