About the course

How can we manage all household appliances with one remote control console, how can we turn the light off or lower the blinds just by pressing a button on a smartphone and how can we make our dwelling energy efficient? Answers to these and many other questions are given in the "Smart Home" construction concept. Even now we can send text messages to a washing machine, oven or refrigerator or start the cleaning by messaging our vacuum cleaner.

"Smart Home" and, consequently, "Smart city" are one of the most potentially productive areas in the development of informational technologies. According to the "father of the Internet", Vinton Cerf, the foundation for making "smart homes" popular has already been created, and they will become a part of our everyday lives in 15-20 years. Studying the concept basics today will ensure you transport yourself into the future.
