About this app
The principle of operation of the HOMIDUS modules is based on the idea of creating a 'Smart Home' without changing or modifying in any way the existing wiring or cable infrastructure of an establishment as well as keeping all existing electrical equipment such as light sources, sockets and switches while combining that with dramatically lower cost compared to competitive products. HOMIDUS utilizes the existing residential network (WiFi) - since the majority of people have Internet access today via wireless routers – while adding innovation to it by creating a MESH NETWORK for message exchanging over longer distances. A single module and the available via Playstore corresponding free application comprise the first step in adding “Intelligence” everywhere. HOMIDUS range of products support the control of all kinds of lighting devices, floor, table or ceiling lamps as well as several types of appliances. All modules can be programmed to execute operations via motion detection, time scheduling or upon certain conditions related to the environment such as room temperature, luminosity etc. They also allow interconnection with a wide range of sensors and additional electronic units such as alarm systems, garage doors, electric shutters, and irrigation systems via their analog and digital inputs and outputs. Last but not least the entire system can be used in combination with a great range of surveillance cameras allowing their management and control through the HOMIDUS dedicated application.
Minimum cost
A single HOMIDUS module is enough to experience the full capabilities of the system. No additional equipment or support devices are required while software-wise it is absolutely free. The cost of obtaining a HOMIDUS module varies according to the type of device in the price range from 30 to 50 Euros.
Quick Installation
HOMIDUS devices do not require any modification of the existing electrical wiring while they can be installed and activated by any individual in contrast to the majority of similar products in the market.
Lighting
Unlike other similar products in the market HOMIDUS can be used with the existing lighting devices saving in the cost since any required change of existing equipment would add up in the final cost of the system.
Switches
HOMIDUS requires no change in the existing switches. That means that the user retains the switches of its preference hence no additional costs apply due to the need of specialized equipment.
Master Controller
HOMIDUS requires no special central controller in contrast to similar systems in the market saving in cost. A usual (existing) wireless router can be used instead.
No subscriptions
The purchase of one or more devices allows the user to upgrade its house with a HOME AUTOMATION system with No-subscription and no other hidden costs
