Automation is the need of the hour! Home Automation Solutions are meant for people who want to lead an automated life altogether. People now-a-days opt for automated solutions as it provides them with easy solutions.

Home Automation Solutions are apt for the ones who are Physically Disabled and are unable to perform simple day-to-day tasks. They are completely dependent on their caregivers. Automated solution proves as a boon for them.

With BuildTrack’s Home Automation Solutions, the users lead an independent life with reduced dependency on others. Automated solutions thus provide them with a new lease of life.

Automation technologies are meant to improve the Safety, Security, Comfort, Convenience and Energy Savings within a home. BuildTrack is the first company in India to work in-line with existing switches with no external wiring and there by communicating to the remotes or smart apps enabling the user to operate the devices remotely. BuildTrack provides Home Automation in two ways:

With the use of a Remote Control (EzRemote)

Or a Smart App enabling remote operation

The use of Remote Control (EzRemote) or a Smart App doesn’t change the manual operation of the switch, meaning you can use the EzRemote and the Smart App in conjunction to the manual or physical switch.

Home Automation Includes:

Lighting and Curtain Control

Motion Sensor

CCTV Camera

Security

Safety

Entertainment

Intercoms, etc.

Lighting Control and Curtain Control: There is total control over the functioning of light, fan, AC and curtains through a Remote Control (EzRemote), a Smart App or manual switch. This includes turning them On/Off, dimming of lights and controlling the speed of fan and AC. With the curtains, the user can open and close one or multiple window curtains and blinds.

As they can’t access the physical switches easily, the EzRemote is one of the best things for the Physically Challenged people. With the EzRemote, they have the power in their hands.

Motion Sensors: The Motion Sensor (EzSense) is based on Passive Infrared (PIR) sensing technology. Installing it, takes away the need to manually switch On/Off the lights or fans. Whenever the sensor senses motion, it turns the lights On and turns if Off when no motion is sensed over a defined period. This helps in conservation of energy as unnecessary power usage is avoided. It is well suited for use in bathrooms, passageways, pantries and kitchens. It is also essential for the elderly as they tend to forget to switch Off the lights often while moving out from a particular area.

Now what could be better than this! The user doesn’t need a manual intervention at all. The devices would turn On/Off based on the presence of the user.

The Motion Sensor (EzSense) can have a single sensor controlling multiple devices or vice versa. Wireless options are also available for safety and security purpose. Here the unit called “node” goes behind the switch panel and communicates with the sensor wirelessly which is based on Passive Infrared (PIR) technology. It is best suited for passageways or parking lots. For example, if there is an intruder in these areas, the sensor will sense its presence and send a notification through the Smart App.

Cameras: The IP Camera (EzMonitor) helps to monitor property or a particular area. The IP Camera (EzMonitor) can be placed anywhere and can connect wirelessly to any existing WiFi to view via Smart App. The user can also tilt or pan the camera or capture a short video. This clip is stored in the cloud for a short period and can be accessed via the App. The live video recording can be manually enabled or can be initiated by a sensor. For example, if there is a smoke or gas leak or intrusion detected, by the sensor the recording would be initiated and the user would be notified via the Smart App.

This would act as a great security measure for the Physically Disabled. In case of a mishap or an untoward incident at home, being physically challenged has its own limitations. They would not be able to react due to the same. Having an IP Camera would help in monitoring their activities and take preventive measures during an emergency.

Safety and Security Sensors: There are various sensors for detection of smoke, gas, intrusion, etc. The sensors are meant for safety purposes, and notify whenever any of these are detected. It either raises an alarm or sends notifications to the concerned person via Smart App.

Again this would help the caregivers a lot. As the sensors are integrated to work with the Smart App, and the user gets notified in case of an emergency, the caregivers can get notifications even when they are on the move. This would help them in increasing their responsiveness.

Intercoms: Intercoms are wireless Video Door Phone which is used in multi-storied buildings and apartments. It is placed at the lobby of the building for all the visitors and can also be placed at the front door of each apartment. The resident can view and converse with the visitor via the Smart App which operates on a tablet or smartphone and is managed through a server.

When the visitor at the lobby presses the door bell, a notification pops up on the tablet or smartphone indicating the arrival. With the Smart App, the user has access to the video and audio and to the front door camera to validate the visitor before opening the door.

The intercoms enable the user to:

View the visitor remotely (when not at home)

Remotely unlock the door

Store videos of front door visitors for checking

As the Physically Challenged have decreased mobility, the Intercoms would serve their purpose of greeting and opening/closing the front door for the visitors. The caregivers may always not be around. In such cases, if you have a visitor at the door, the resident can talk to the visitor, and also remotely unlock the door.

Note: To monitor the above activities, you require internet connectivity.
