Home automation products have been featured at CES, well, ever
since there was a CES. I’ve seen all sorts of products like the X-10modules that turned
appliances on and off and dimmed lights and the Insteon system of switches, dimmers and even
sprinkler controllers.
These early
lines of product have their place — back in the eighties I had about a dozen
X-10 modules all over my house — but aside from geeks like me, most people
didn’t bother to adapt the technology even though it was affordable and easy to
find at Radio Shack.
At CES we’re
seeing a number of home automation products that take advantage of the
near-ubiquity of WiFi to move data around the house and smart phones and
tablets as controllers.
I spent some time at the Belkin booth looking at their new line of modular home automation
modules. These products are still in development, but they’re quite promising.
The devices, which require that you have a home WiFi network, can be used to
turn appliances on and off, let you know if you left your garage door open (and
let you close it) or respond to motion in the room.
Each device
communicates to the Internet via WiFi and can be controlled via any iOS device
(the company is also developing Android software) from anywhere on the planet.
A company spokesperson told me that modules can also be programmed to
turn on and off at specific times or after a specific amount of time.
Wulian supply the
whole set of home automation，and find distributer all over the world.
