A house that makes intelligent\u00a0autonomous decisions rather than rely on its occupants to operate\u00a0remote controls.\u00a0Dr Karam from Idratek takes us through this incredible installation,\u00a0their most comprehensive to date&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><div class=\"sj-gblock\">\n<script language=\"javascript\">\n<!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-5598479065369258\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300; \ngoogle_ad_height = 250; \ngoogle_ad_format = \"300x250_as\"; \ngoogle_ad_channel = \"7058025304\"; \ngoogle_ad_type = \"text_image\"; \ngoogle_color_border = \"FFFFFF\"; \ngoogle_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\"; \ngoogle_color_link = \"52a79f\"; \ngoogle_color_url = \"CFFFDF\"; \ngoogle_color_text = \"000000\"; \n\/\/--> \n<\/script>\n<script language=\"javascript\"  src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/automatedhome.com\/installation\/caring-home-automation-an-assisted-living-smart-home-case-study.html\" target=\"_blank\">recent article<\/a>\u00a0we described an <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">IDRATEK <\/span>installation in a care setting, where its uniquely holistic approach enabled easy delivery of sophisticated automation and\u00a0data gathering with little need of user interaction and minimal involvement by the purchaser beyond a wish-list of functions. The emphasis was very much on having an unobtrusive system which would not intimidate and be a &#8216;friend\u2019 to the elderly occupant.<\/p>\n<p>This time we are exploring an installation which perhaps goes to another extreme. A great example of the flexibility and\u00a0scalability of the system, and the ingenuity and\u00a0creativity of its owners, who were and\u00a0are very much immersed in planning, installing, and &#8216;bespoking&#8217; their system .<\/p>\n<p>When Chris and Clare Hunter embarked on their self-build adventure, some years ago, they were keen to create a physical living space they could mould to be their own, and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Home Automation <\/span>(<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">HA<\/span>) was a key technology to include. Not just as an add-on, but very much part of the whole, and an important enabler .\u00a0We asked Chris to provide us with a bit of background\u00a0and tell us\u00a0something about what they wanted to achieve :<\/p>\n<h2>The Smart Home We Wanted<\/h2>\n<p><em>\u201cNot buying ready-made, meant we could arrange things to suit us better . The site was village infill and\u00a0quite small, making it a challenge to achieve something we were happy with . We had to think everything through carefully, and we often found ourselves challenging and\u00a0departing from the norm, both with the house, and with the Home Automation.\u00a0We wanted accommodation that functioned well for us, providing convenience and\u00a0comfort, open-plan, well insulated, and with good acoustics a priority. \u00a0A largish-family and\/or friends staying on-occasion, so sociable, too, ecomonic, small environmental impact, and we had no fear of using state of the art approaches .\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-layout.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23816\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-layout.jpg?resize=501%2C248&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The UK's Smartest Home?

From the front, at ground level, there\u2019s the garage with basement beyond (hosting a small swimming machine). Up the stairs there\u2019s an open-plan kitchen-diner to the left and\u00a0guest accommodation with media area to the right. Both open\u00a0onto the garden and, up again to the top floor, there\u2019s an open-plan bedroom area to the left and\u00a0a lounge \/ study area to the right. Running up through the centre, either side of the stairs, are a pair of service duct chimneys. These rise up from the plant room and open\u00a0into every floor, both big-enough to accommodate ventilation ductwork. All in all quite a bit different to the\u00a0previous three-bed semi\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Chris&#8217;\u00a0Home Automation ambitions were clear from the start&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWith the Home Automation, we decided to go\u00a0all the way &#8211; full automation and\u00a0no conventional fall-back. If cars can completely rely on computers for engine management \/ people-comfort \/ support services, why not a house, too ? They are hugely better for it, so the house should be, too . We looked particularly at EIB \/ Knx, C-Bus, Niko, Dupline, EnOcean, IDRATEK, and later Velbus. All had advantages, different mixes of cost, capability, topology, intelligence, data-logging, reliability, support, flexibility, appearance, DIY, WAF. We chose Idratek for all these, but mostly for its intelligence, its\u00a0affordability,\u00a0do-able approach, and its prospects for future development\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Well of course we were pleased to be chosen for their project, but never did we imagine what it would become. Certainly we are aware of some pretty large installations, in much larger properties, but we reckon that Chris and Clare\u2019s system is one of the most extensive we\u2019ve seen in a single home &#8211; and they\u2019ve certainly come-up with some imaginative uses.<\/p>\n<p>I just love some of their departures from the norm. For example, in this age of touch-screen technology, their <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">LED <\/span>status indicator board idea is almost like having a retro radio set. \u00a0But knowing very well the humungous amount of information their system is generating, minute by minute, I can well understand that it is truly useful and not just a matter of a nostalgic visual appeal. And as for connecting a model railway into the same automation structure ! What also impresses me, though, are the numerous intricate features they have implemented for themselves, utilising extensible <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Cortex <\/span>constructs. Detailed features to suit their particular environment, benefiting from the overall integration umbrella.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">&#8220;For us, this was important &#8211; a glorified remote-control and\/or super-smart programmer \/ thermostat was not what we wanted, the HA had to go further, much further, and be non-intrusive and\u00a0provide context sensitivity, and be easy to tune and\u00a0adapt and\u00a0grow in the light of experience, and as new things come along .&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>By the Numbers<\/h2>\n<p>To be honest, I have found it difficult to think about how to write this article. Chris and Clare have done so much. So, in the end, I thought maybe I should just hand over to Chris\u2019s own description. But before I go, I think it\u2019s worthwhile providing some context, in the form of statistics, gleaned from their system database :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-2.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23812\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-2.jpg?resize=499%2C242&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The UK's Smartest Home? node0\" width=\"499\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-2.jpg?w=1114&amp;ssl=1 1114w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-2.jpg?resize=300%2C145&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-2.jpg?resize=768%2C372&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C496&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Total number of physical modules is 260 &#8211; so over 1000 individual networked devices, including over eighty lighting circuits, some directly dimmable, some switch-emulation dimmable (I kid you not), some just plain on\/off &#8230; sensing and\u00a0control elements (and logic, of course) for the underfloor heating and hot-water services, which include thermal stores, solar heating, pool heating, and operational functions. I counted over eighty motion sensors (imagine the battery replacement rota, if these were wireless) used for occupancy tracking &amp; security, and around ninety temperature sensors &#8211; some for measuring air temperatures, others for management of various heat services, such as the pool water, solar heating system, thermal stores, bath water, tap water, etc, plus fifty humidity sensors, more than fifty light-level sensors, fifteen door &amp; window sensors. And over a hundred &amp; fifty digital inputs for things like float sensors, lid sensors, proximity sensors, appliance status; and around one hundred &amp; thirty push buttons or button clusters (total individual button- count well over three hundred). As for the number of switched output devices, I gave up trying to count &#8211; but washers, driers, air-curtain, pool pumps, pool paddle, water-outlet solenoids, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">UFH and<\/span>\u00a0general heating system pumps and\u00a0valves, microwaves, steam oven, warming drawer, extractor fans. You\u2019ve probably got the general picture by now and, of course, let\u2019s not forget the model railway! Eight panel-type modules add intercom, synthesised speech and\u00a0sound prompt services, as well as infra-red transceivers, and there are two external video intercom units, twenty-five pulse-output power meters, seven flow meters &#8230; OK, I think I\u2019d better stop there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-3.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-23814\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-3.jpg?resize=250%2C359&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The UK's Smartest Home? node0\" width=\"250\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-3.jpg?w=959&amp;ssl=1 959w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-3.jpg?resize=209%2C300&amp;ssl=1 209w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-3.jpg?resize=768%2C1104&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/automatedhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/chris-hunter-node0-3.jpg?resize=712%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 712w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>Total number of <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Cortex <\/span>objects is just about 2200 &#8211; each a representation of a physical device in software, or an abstract object such as logic gates, macros, menus, heating controllers, and so on.
