Hi All
I wanted to do my final uni module - the research project and report;
on my home which I have been working on the last 18 months.
I have to define my Project Proposal -
Smart Home Control by Natural User Interaction & Smarter Feedback
I have massively tried the past 18 months to make the home helpful to me. I have met so many hurdles along the way and now I want to measure my successes?
I was wondering though, what people considered by "smart"?
My friends bought Phillips Hue bulbs, and like me have sonos and nest, these are smart devices but I don't think they make a home 'smart'. I can turn my lights on from the phone, so what? My neighbor can control their lights from a light switch... If anything by the time you unlock your phone, you've applied more effort.
My question I'd like to throw out to the Pro's to spark some food for thought (I have an idea but wanted to see what others thought) -
What is a smart home?
What makes a smart home 'smart'?
How do you measure smartness, and how can we make it smarter?
Why have you put effort into it?
Why bother with a smart home, and does it really improve our life noticeably?
Can we make HomeSeer intelligent, or is it simply for automating. Do you have any specific example where you've developed something you consider to be more intelligent than automated?
I appreciate this is a very open question - I am curious what other people think.
