A little bit about DomoBus Systems

Home Automation offers many benefits and its awareness and usage has been steadily expanding. Although its global market value is still very low, we observe an increasing number of companies being active in this field, offering a diverse range of products. The home automation expansion is being helped by the massive spread of the Internet at home and new technologic developments in cable and wireless communications and mobile computing.

Home automation main benefits regard increased comfort in the home, more safety and security and better energy management. In this last domain, many possibilities exist. It is feasible to implement policies to reduce energy consumption and to reduce its cost (transferring consumption to "off-peak" hours, for example). It is also possible to use more rationally different forms of energy (e.g., electricity and gas) and other fundamental resources such as potable water. And home automation can also play an important role in a more effective use of renewable sources of energy, namely solar water heating panels and photovoltaic cells.
