The future of home automation - the responsive home

The responsive home collects information (connect) from different inputs (sensors) to understand

the situation (context), knows who you are (profiles), has a human way of communicating (interact),

and a high level of intelligence (self-learning) to make personalized decisions (actions)

• Connect (infrastructure) : connecting to

other devices/apps to collect as much as

possible information

• Context (sensors) : taking into account

the environment, condition, situation

• Comprehend (AI, self-learning) :

Understand your data by interpreting

collected data

• Customize (interaction, profiles) :

personalization of the system to bring in

the human touch and needs
