Home automation is a field within building automation, specializing in the specific automation requirements of private homes and in the application of automation techniques for the comfort and security of its residents. Although many techniques used in building automation (such as light and climate control, control of doors and window shutters, security and surveillance systems, etc.) are also used in home automation, additional functions might be the control of multi-media home entertainment systems, automatic plant watering and pet feeding, automatic scenes for dinners and parties, etc.

The main difference between building automation and home automation is, however, the human interface. In home automation, ergonomics is of particular importance: the control should be largely image-based and self-explanatory.

Home Automation can be used to control many items within your home, from lighting (remote controlled or motion controlled), Whole House Audio & Video, computer control and automated blinds and curtains.
