In this course we introduce devices and mechanisms that have turned buildings into smart and automated places.
These inexpensive common devices have begun to replace the electricians traditional timers, day / night switches, security lights, remotes, thermostats, energy meters and many more functions often in a single device.
Learn about the principles that allow you to automate as well as confidently install and set up different devices and programming requirements.
At the end of this course you will have core technical skills to conceptualise designs and integrations relating to automation, safety, security, comfort and even entertainment.
This course was designed for various skill levels and job functions providing fundamental knowledge and skill sets for a wave of opportunities.
In this course we use a popular open source home automation system, Home Assistant, and common wireless switches, to discuss the principles that allow you to automate a home for your customer.
We discuss how to set up the hardware to switch on and off power. We then integrate this into a hardware controller, enable an app to control the home, and then show how to do this with google home.
