Today we can see the changes brought by the development of the Internet. It has in fact become a universal communications standard. All objects and systems are able to communicate.

The next change to come is the emergence of mobile apartment terminals. The cost of laying cables in a house or apartment continues to hamper the development of home systems. In the future, short-range radio links will enable all objects to communicate easily without any wires.

Anything will be able to communicate but communication will not be restricted to inside the home. The communicating home also communicates with the outside world: the refrigerator with the store, the washing machine with the after-sales service, etc. Use your mobile to check you haven't forgotten to close the shutters.

People have been talking about home systems for two decades now. But the notion of "automated" management of our homes has not really caught on.
Home systems are based on a closed concept. The technology deployed is proprietary. The various types of technology do not communicate easily. Home systems only concern the closed space of a person's home. They develop a vision of optimum automatic operation of the home. In practice, automation, although aimed at simplification, often adds to the complexity of everyday life.
