Smart Home designs are used to monitor and control power use in homes, apartment buildings, industrial facilities and complexes. Remote sensors can measure and report power use wirelessly so that adjustments can be made to power delivery systems- switching in or out wind, solar, battery or other alternate power sources. Wireless Remote Monitoring equipment provides data to Processing Hubs that control local Power. Control Processing changes power source and routing, Displays status and Stores use data for billing or energy use prediction. The Network Interface connects the hub to the rest of the Power Grid for overall control and management.
     
 
Building Automation
Modern building automation systems require a host of digital control functions that require LCD output, wireless connectivity, touch screen input, sensing and control functions. Typical implementations include functions like Fire/Security and Comfort Control.
 
Home Automation
Home automation applications include Heating/Ventilation/Airconditioning (HVAC), electronic thermostats, carbon monoxide, fire/smoke and intruder detection, power line communications and home connectivity. These systems are essential elements in ensuring the reliability, functionality and safety that are required within the environment of the home. Advanced digital controls combined with reliable analog interface and conditioning components are key elements of these Smart Home applications.
 
LED Lighting
Efficiency, performance, size and reliability are rapidly elevating LEDs as the lighting solution of choice. LEDs are increasing used in space constrained mobile electronic equipment, for back lighting applications as well as accent lighting fixtures. Precise, low power operating power control devices are required in these applications.
 
Video Security
These systems can be used for monitoring in Smart Home and Smart Building designs to increase security and restrict access. Typically composed of security cameras, communications and storage sub-systems advanced systems can use remote management to control large buildings or multiple building environments.
