Domotics is the application of computer and robotics technologies to domestic appliances.Most modern houses have appliances that allow some degree of remote control. Domotics aims to integrate and extend this throughout the house. A house with a domotics system installed might have many computers, perhaps built into the walls, to allow the homeowner to control applications in any part of their house from any other.A house with domotics is expected to be able to call the police or the firemen by itself, with more subtlety and a wider variety of allowances than normal alarm systems.

On a daily basis, domotic systems are often supposed to be able to automatically gather data from several sensors and do such things as adjust lights and music to the personal preferences of each member of the household, as they come into or leave a particular room. The simplest systems require that each person wear a marker, such as an RFID tag, while the more sophisticated ones detect movement, body heat, and other individual characteristics Some tasks that domotics fulfills: Work with your utility company to take advantage of off peak electricity rates and provide choices for comfort, safety, and energy conservation. curtains, window blinds, and sun shades from one location, all day, without human interaction. Opening or locking and unlocking gates and garage doors, under either separate or global control. Controlling indoor climate. Press one button to set the heating to night mode; the lights go out, the gates close.... Control your hi-fi and home cinema from any room, using buttons, panels, or remote control. Ensuring that the right light is on in the right place; domotics can also ensure that the right lighting intensity and mood are achieved. Providing intelligent garden sprinklers and other plumbing; the lawn is watered only when it is needed, and you can enjoy a quiet stroll through your garden without risking a drenching. Provide personal task lighting at appropriate intensity for each user to address the health effects of lighting The convenience of domotics comes at a cost.

Some systems can be expensive to install, but not all of them require installation (see X10). There is also the possibility that a systems crash could leave the house without an effective heating or lighting system. These issues can be largely overcome, however, using newer technologies and techniques

DOMOTICS
Domotics is the residential extension of "building automation". It is automation of the home, housework or household activity. Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. Home automation for the elderly and disabled can provide increased quality of life for persons who might otherwise require caregivers or institutional care.
A home automation system integrates electrical devices in a house with each other. The techniques employed in home automation include those in building automation as well as the control of domestic activities, such as home entertainment systems, houseplant and yard watering, pet feeding, changing the ambiance "scenes" for different events (such as dinners or parties), and the use of domestic robots. Devices may be connected through a computer network to allow control by a personal computer, and may allow remote access from the internet.
Typically, a new home is outfitted for home automation during construction, due to the accessibility of the walls, outlets, and storage rooms, and the ability to make design changes specifically to accommodate certain technologies. Wireless systems are commonly installed when outfitting a pre-existing house, as they reduce wiring changes. These communicate through the existing power wiring, radio, or infrared signals with a central controller. Network sockets may be installed in every room like AC power receptacles.
Although automated homes of the future have been staple exhibits for World's Fairs and popular backgrounds in science fiction, complexity, competition between vendors, multiple incompatible standards and the resulting expense have limited the penetration of home automation to homes of the wealthy or ambitious hobbyists.
