The new concept which has been in trends over the last few years is known as ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT). This facilitates the linking of all electrical gadgets in a location through a network and controls them through the internet.
Adapting IoT (internet of Things), it is possible to link all the electrical gadgets in the house through a network, it is possible to save electricity consumption. Electricity leakage can also be prevented.
Household gadgets can be protected wherever the owner is! However, there is one major requirement - the gadgets must have the facility to be operated through the Internet of Things! A point to be noted at this is that such gadgets are more expensive - hence the common public cannot afford this - it remains a pipe-dream for them to adopt this technology!
In this scenario, a young engineer, Vijayaraja, has come up with an innovation he has created the network centre ‘Gemicates Hagway Smart Hub’ and an App ‘Hagway’!
The highlight of this innovation is that this is affordable even for the lower/middle-income economic groups! The household gadgets such as the television, fan, etc., can be controlled through a mobile app or voice command - this is known as ‘Home Automation’!
So, here is a development which converts the home into a ‘smart home’ - just like the smartphone!
In the case of opting for ‘Home Automation’, all the gadgets in the house including the television and washing machine should be ‘smart devices’.
However, even these ‘smart’ devices have some drawbacks! For instance, one needs to install a new App in the smartphone to control the smart fan! Similarly, one needs to install Apps separately for each of the devices. This might result only in great confusion! And one more relevant point - only those who know the technology can use this facility! However, with the new home automation kit developed as above by Vijayaraja, a single App is enough to control all the devices! The special App developed for this purpose is ‘Hagway’.
This App is to be downloaded. No need to procure any smart devices. With this innovative hardware and software, it is indeed possible to convert the existing gadgets into ‘smart’ ones!
A maximum expense of up to Rs. 20,000 has to be incurred on this. Any smartphone user can use this technology. Apart from the homes, this technology can be used and applied in various avenues - agriculture, playgrounds, commercial establishments and companies, etc.
Another point to be noted is that even the smart devices currently available in the market can also be linked to this App.
After explaining the salient features as above regarding his innovation, Vijayaraja further shared, ‘It is the prevailing trend that both the parents work. So, the children returning home from school have to stay alone! This is a rather unsafe situation until the parents return home! We have duly considered this important aspect while devising this new App! Yes! It is possible to watch all the activities of your children from any corner of the world - wherever you are! Thus, needless tension can be prevented!’
