What is the comfort in Domotica?

Today I want to talk to you about a reflection that came to me after listening a few days ago the podcast Weekly ofFor those who don’t know it, it’s a MAST on your podcatcher. Emilio is a big man who has been doing podcasts for many years and who I follow with riverside passion especially when talking about technology and productivity. It’s true that we’re getting older and already talking about Android-based electronic ink tablets, but hey, the best scribe makes a slate, what’s going to be done to him. Anyway, let me tell you why I think Emilio was wrong about some.

things he commented on last Friday.

First of all, if you’re subscribed to the Emilcar Weekly and you haven’t heard his episode last Friday, it’s still a good idea for you to stop reading here and go listen to it, as I’m going to comment on some of the things Emilio said but also said others that I fully agree with, so if you haven’t heard it, I recommend you listen to it immediately. And if you can’t hear it because you’re not subscribed, I also recommend that you subscribe immediately! Not because I’m going to take commission or liaison referred to or any of that, but I think the weekly is one of the most interesting long podcasts where

and we have in our podcatchers for those we like technology for.

To place you a little, I’ve talked to Emilio several times about Domotics, I want to think I’ve given him a hand with the domestication of his house. You have some episode out there where we’ve talked about smart relays like Shelly and Sonoff, about automations, about their children’s lampstands, et c… but male, I die and I don’t educate him. It doesn’t matter what home consulting we make the guy still in love with the lights that turn on alone. Yes, it is very comfortable and it gives a certain feeling of home when you get home after spending the day out with the children and when you open the door you see that there are some lights on. It’s also that You know what it is

The lights have not been on all day, but have been off until your center of accessories has detected that you were entering the home area and that it was night.So you’ve turned on some lights so you don’t go into the dark. This automation is very simple and can be done from any ecosystem you use, no matter whether it’s Apple HomeKit, Home Assistant, Alexa or Google Home. But what I was told first is that Emilio said this is the first thing he would do in a home: comfort… and what you want me to say, For me, comfort is not that..

Let’s see, You know I do all kinds of home consulting.. There are people who He contacts me because they’re going to buy a new home and want to start taming and automating things from the start., so you need to know what kind of devices to put, if you need a special wiring, if you have to take something into account in the electric housing… others who are in a similar situation because they have a great work in their home… and, of course, a lot of people who want their house to react alone but don’t know where to start or what the fuck the first ones to buy. Pa

My key is that, we have already commented on it many times, that the house reacts alone. If it’s night and there’s someone at home, get the lights on. If it’s night, but we’re spending the day out, we don’t need them to turn on… but if we suddenly come home because we have had dinner outside but we’re going to sleep, because the house knows and receives us with some lights on as we said before so we don’t go into the dark. And yes, this is comfort, But what he marked for me before and after at my house was temperature control.. If I get home and the lights are on, but it’s cold, we all go in to a disgust, with the jackets, and you

I want to fuck you into the cold bed. However, if you get home and it’s warm in winter or strawberry in summer, for if you have to turn on some light by hand, you turn it on smoothly because you can remove the gloves to touch the switch.

Turning our boiler or air conditioning into a smart cache is also not very complicated In fact, I think it’s something simpler than the lights, as when you think about making home lights smart, you usually think about smart light bulbs… and nothing further than reality! Today it is more advisable to put a smart relay in the log box or behind the switch and to activate the switch at a distance to turn on the lights as if we had touched it with the hand. Smart bulbs have been relegated to very specific use cases as they have to always have current, so if you just change l

a light bulb of the lamp by an intelligent light bulb, you can automate actions and turn it off / off from the mobile or from the voice assistant… until someone touches the switch and cuts the current, so the magic is over. But also, if the bulb was off when someone touches the switch with the idea of turning it on, it will cut the current off… but if it is pressed again, the bulb will have a current but will continue in the state off, so that person will touch the switch several times to finally tell you that the bulb has fused or that it does not work properly. I’m telling you, I don’t use smart light bulbs at all today.

. It is clear that you can play with intensity and color… but the color is also something that is done at first and then abandoned. I had an automation that put the lights in the bathroom where I came in the morning just up if that day was gonna rain, so I knew I had to take an umbrella… But I ended up disabling it because if it’s gonna rain no longer gets us by surprise, we’re all about to catch up with the time it’s going to make in the next few days in your area. Again, my wife was going into the living room and I put the red lights, my best seductive face and I said with a very sensual voice, «Hey, baby, come in and sit here…»

This was’ Anda Tira! ‘and he sent me to the fuck, so that use case didn’t come out as expected.

So, at least in my opinion, it’s more worth controlling the house temperature that makes us more or less comfortable in it. For gas boilers like mine, you can put a relay like that of Netatmo or Tadothey make very good products. Tado also has solutions for radiant soil, aerothermia and so on… and if you have an air conditioning of the individual, the same Tado has a device that learns the frequency of your life-long remote control to send the signal

to air conditioning and turn it on or off at a distance, based on certain conditions or whatever you need. Then you can mess up everything you want and make the radiators also smart, play with room temperature or automate that if your eldest son is not home he doesn’t warm that room until he’s back home… why warm up his room if there’s no one else, right?

If you have an air-conditioning through ducts that cost a pasta, it would be necessary to see if it is compatible with the AirZone module, developed by very large guys from Malaga and that make the air-conditioning intelligent. You can even put motorized grids in the rooms to open or close and do the same thing I told you a moment ago with the children’s room or the podcast recording studio in Emilio’s case.

Hey, you could try to get the bedroom to always be 12 degrees to see if it would get the trick on your partner and get a lot of it. The one with the red lights may not work, but this one does. Test-error, as always with the couple, what will be done to them.

Anyway, I was just laughing and I wanted to tell you more things! Another thing Emilio said is that he has an automation so that at 1 in the morning all the lights and the Apple TV are turned off. This automation is very good but you can take a turn and create some cool condition. In my case, for example, do not turn off the lights at a certain time, but for example, when I put my phone on the table to load and it’s night, because if I do it in the middle of the afternoon or at some other time there is no automation, but if I put it at night to load on my nightstand that knows it’s my table at night because I have an NFC sticker and it’s also connected to the wi

If the TV in the living room or the Apple TV is on, because we may be watching the TV and my phone is going to run out of battery and put it to load… or that we go to bed my wife and I but my eldest son is watching a movie in the living room… in those cases, the lights don’t go out. Automation to turn it all off to the 1 unconditionally does not apply in my case as I am the first that at the 1 I am not always lying down.

In any case chic @ s, what I want to make clear is that the first thing we should do is to solve real needs. It’s very good that the lights are turned on alone when we get home, but it’s better that the boiler is turned on when the temperature comes down from X degrees in the rooms, so before we start buying devices like crazy we should think about what we think can be improved and make life easier. The theme of the smart lock that Emilio was counting is also very practical, the key is passed when we all leave the house and we can automate it open when we’re in front of the door… great… but I don’t know if you listen.

You go to patuflinx, to Cristian García who has the AppsMac podcast in 8 minutes that said his lock was opening up and he was leaving the garage. God knows why. Surely his mobile was uncovered inside the garage and when he passed the car under his window he was minimally connected to the wifi and the lock considered that like you had stood in front of the door, but imagine the fear and discomfort of having to go up and see if it’s open or closed again. And the worst of all this is that we get used to comfort very quickly, so if one day we go out without home keys and it turns out we’ve run out of battery in the lock and not podem

You can easily enter (I recommend you have some alternative method, the typical fake pot with a key or put it with American tape under the table as I do)… then, in addition to the ridiculous one, we will surely take a tan or we will have to call a locksmith, which is not the first one that happens to him.
