By integrating intelligent and automated systems, home automation finds application in a wide range of contexts: from private homes, where it improves comfort, safety and energy efficiency, to the hotel industry, where it personalizes the guest experience and optimizes facility management. In the healthcare sector, this technology proves invaluable for patient monitoring and home care, while in commercial and industrial settings it simplifies infrastructure control. Learn how home automation is revolutionizing these sectors, improving quality of life and redefining the concept of smart space.
Inside hotels and accommodation facilities domotics can be used both to manage the most common and standard functions (lightning, motorizations and rooms temperatures), to create personalized service and a plus value to distinguish the facility and encourage the customer to choose it.
It's possible to manage the system from a central control station (for example the reception) that control rooms, common hotel areas and staff rooms, however the customer can autonomously manage its own interaction with the hotel and the available services directly from its room, through a designated touch screen PC.
In the common hotel areas it's possible to integrate the domotic technology with the security management of areas and persons (anti-intrusion devices, videosurveillance, water and gas leaks detectors, fire alarm and fire doors).
Another added value is given by the possibility of creating personalized scenarios, inclusive of multimedia contents, for the restaurant, the swimming pool or the wellness area: an "aperitif" scenario, programmed to create a restful atmosphere with soft lights and relaxing music, or scenarios realized for the different wellness treatments, that can be activated directly from the therapy stall.
A concrete plus value, inside each customer room, it's represented by the autonomous system management, giving to the customer the opportunity to create multimedia scenarios and to have a direct interaction with the hotel: the customer can see the daily menu, reserve the best seat for lunch and dinner, book a wellness treatment or use the laundry service. All that simply by clicking on the PC touch screen directly from the room.

Domotic technology is one of the best solution for the industrial field: the secret doesn't reside only in managing and monitoring the standard functionalities, but in the implementation of solutions able to give an added value to this industrial applied technology.
The technical department is the control centre of all the internal and external areas. The important is to have a pc with a user interface, which signals potential dangerous situations and monitors the system 24h.
Besides the possibility of managing the classical functionalities, such as lightning and motorizations, it's possible to make other devices (third hardware parts) dialogue and interact with the system in order to improve the security of areas and persons who work there.
It means integration with videosurveillance, anti-intruder devices, electrical boards' security, fire prevention system (fire doors), heating, air conditioning, as well as the vacuum and aeration system. Another useful function is the monitoring of the iundustrial areas real consumption and the pollution produced.
The system control and management can be also extended to the external areas: outdoor scheduled lightning, videosurveillance and accesses control integration, in order to monitor who enters and exits the building.
The domotics plus in this field consists in having the control and management from a unique interface.
We start by considering a centralized control area, directly from the reception that welcomes the visitors: in this area it's possible to place a pc that monitors the whole system through the management software.
There are standard management functions, that concern lightning and motorizations (shutters and curtains), but there are also specific functions aimed at giving an added value to the building and focusing on the person's safety.
Not last, the possibility of monitoring the inpatient's permanence duration in the bathroom, thanks to a timer set on an established time, that it is activated when the bathroom lights are turned on or when the motion sensor is active: if the light remains turned on more than the fixed time, a visual and acoustic alarm goes off and communicates to the reception personnel the place where the potential dangerous situation is occurring.
Healthcare applications include emergency calls, first aid, videosurveillance integration and the presence of step marker lamps and courtesy lights that turn on at night: it's possible to programme and scheduled all the functions in order to guarantee an accurate use that focuses also on energy saving.
Easydom – a recognized brand in the domotic field – has perceived the shipowners’ need to have a complete and autonomous control of their ship, and it has responded by developing the best solutions in order to give a delightful sailing experience to the Customer.
It goes beyond luxury, beyond preciousness and attention to details: Easydom Nautica project is the answer to a demanding and detailed-oriented Customer, but above all it’s the ideal path to improve a traditional production sector such as the luxury nautical one and to develop it towards a domotics made of simplicity and design.
What makes the difference in Easydom Nautica are not the technical features of the ship, but the inner high level confort, the energy saving, the persons and rooms’ security and the full control at the user’s disposal.
Domotics is going to dictate new trends to the sector experts: from the ship owners, even more focused on the technological frontier, to designers, who find in domotics a further instrument to increase the locations’ value, up to boatyards, that are willing to adapt their production to the specific market requests.
Higher and higher standards, maximum level of efficiency and functionality, elegance and technology in a perfect symbiosis with the most innovative and refined design.
Easydom integrates the multiple boat devices thanks to an easy management tool, the Easydom software, that if installed on a PC, a touch screen or an iPhone or iPad, can control all the functionalities. The user can manage the boat by surfing a planimetry or a photo that reproduces all the boat’s rooms: the captivating graphic icons represents all the functionalities connected with domotic system, they can be activated / de-activated in real time, or they can be programmed thanks to the timer.
Easydom Nautica allows the user to manage all the functionalities, from the basic ones such as lighting and automations, to the multimedia, security and surveillance ones.
All the features can be managed and monitored from one or several devices, such as a touch screen, a Pc, an iPhone or an iPad, by which the user can control and monitor the entire boat in real time.
Simplicity and functionality at highest level: with a unique tool the Customer has the whole boat under control thanks to an immediate visualization:
• lighs, automations and detectors;
• anti-theft and generic alarm devices – fire prevention system, gas and water leaks detectors, fuel levels;
• video surveillance;
• Home Theatre, entertainment and audio / video;
• Air conditioning and heating;
• Chrome - Aroma therapy;
The management software interface is characterized by an intuitive and easy-to-use graphic: the user can programme the scenarios on his own, which are sequence of events that activate / deactivate different functions at the same time. Scenarios can be created and activated in real time or programmed by giving them a starting and ending hour, avoiding the user to manage them manually.
It’s possible to set up a “relax” scenario, by managing at the same time the sound system, to create a musical accompaniment, the lights, by dimmering them and activating warm colours leds, and the automations - by closing down the shutters. A further function can be the diffusion of natural scents to favour the relax.
As residential sector we means all the common areas within a housing facility: this is a necessary premise to not to confuse it with the domestic environment, where domotics is used to control the whole house.
The functionalities integrated in the common spaces are directly controlled by the reception, that monitors the rooms 24 hours a day.
The classical functionalities, such as lightning and automations, are activated on the basis of the building’s necessities, both for its interior and exterior.
Even for the residential field, it’s possible to give an added value to the domotic system, thanks to the multiple integrations (video-surveillance, anti-theft and video entry-phone devices) that guarantee higher security. It’ s possible to associate courtesy lights to the entrance control so that, every time the resident enters the garage, they are turned on to guide him to the lift or to the stairs until he reaches the floor. In addition to this, there is a useful energy consumption control for the common areas, that permits energy saving by - for example - using led lamps where the system signals a high consumption.
The user can control and manage all the domotic functionalities of the entire building thanks to the touch screen panel PC, which allows an on-going and real time monitoring of the common space (stairs, lifts, garage and hallway).
In bigger buildings like skyscrapers, the user can manage the common spaces such as the gym or the cinema, booking them by the Easydom software placed in every flat.
Inside business facilities (as for example shops and boutiques) it's possible to apply domotics to respond to the facilities' needs: whether it's a fashion boutique, a pharmacy, a music or books retailers, the different devices can be developed and adapted to manage the whole trading area at best.
Besides the lighting and automations management, it's possible to create personalized scenarios in order to speed up the routine operations. For example, by activating the “closing shop” scenario with a unique gesture, the user can dimmer all the lights, turn on the shop windows night lights and activate the burglar alarm. Even during the day the system can make the curtains automatically close down when it “feels” too much heat on the shop windows, protecting objects, furnitures or clothes.
The user can optimize the domotic system by implementing video surveillance and anti-theft device, monitoring water and gas leaks, and other alarms, in real time. The use of the panel touch screen PC is a distinctive plus value that enables the user to monitor the whole store domotic system.
Concerning the management and control of the system, the added value consists in the integration of third hardware parts: anti-theft devices, video surveillance, entrance detectors, fire prevention systems, and gas and water leaks detectors. All the devices can be easily monitored h 24 from a central place, for example from the store’s main hall.
Besides the integrations mentioned, there’s the possibility of integrating a smoke detector - for example in the toilet - in order to immediately signal a potential dangerous situation to the software, or a detector that signals the opening of the emergency doors.
Even in sport facilities and wellness centres, domotics can be useful to manage lighting and automations, which can be programmed according to daily time schedule. Multimedia and the possibility of realizing customized scenarios, on the basis of the wellness treatment or the weekly planned fitness courses, are solutions that perfectly apply to this sector.
The plus value is represented by the integrations with anti-theft devices, video surveillance, anti fire alarms, water and gas leaks detectors and video entry-phone: moreover, the entries control enables the user to monitor who enters and leaves the facility; the courtesy lighting guides staff and customers to the desired floor during the darkest hours.
