You would have no doubt heard of a ‘Smart Home’. Smart homes generally involve connected devices that communicate and interact with each other for the benefit of the occupants.
One common example is lights that you can control through your phone. On some systems, you are even able to set the colour. You can even incorporate other devices to control the lights such as motion or door sensors. These can sense movement (or an ‘open’ state) and switch on your lights on or off accordingly. You can also use digital assistants such as Siri (Apple), Alexa (Amazon) and Google Assistant (umm, by Google) to operate these smart devices too. There are temperature and humidity sensors that can control fans or air conditioning, say, when the °C reaches a certain value. The range of smart devices is forever increasing.
So, “What does a Smart Home have to do with plumbing?”, I hear you say. Yes, there are plumbing related applications too.
