Intelligent House

[DylanBalloo]

Hello there,
I want to implement a real intelligent house. What are the features that I can use in the intelligent house.Example lighting,...What other features can I add. Can I use MIAC to do that??

Hello,

Yes a MIAC can be used to make many functional things around your home.

I use a MIAC to control my underfloor heating system, it links the hot water boiler together with a mains pump and 12V valves as well as a electric heat mat for the kitchen.

Using Flowcode v6 it is now possible to connect the MIAC to a PC, communicate between the MIAC and the v6 simulation via USB and provide a front end to a user using the simulated webserver interface. This means I can then see the status of or directly control my heating system from anywhere in the world.

The best type of setup would be a PC connected to a MIAC via USB and then that MIAC using CAN bus to talk to remote sensors, actuators etc.

Moving on here are some other things you could do though the list is by no means the limits.

Open or Close shutters, curtains, windows.
Switch appliances on or off
Keypad or RFID tag entry system
Satellite dish alignment, say for a camper van
Heating or cooling systems
Ground source heat pump management
Smart lighting systems that switch light on and off when they sense movement
....

Here are some projects.
