Njengoba kusobala, izinkampani ezinkulu kakhulu ziyaqaphela amandla i-smart home anayo namuhla nokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba nengxenye yale makethe enkulu oyiphethe. Hhayi-ke, emahoreni ambalwa edlule inkampani yaseLegrand, eyamazwe ngamazwe enikezela ngezinto zikagesi uthenge umkhiqizi waseFrance wemishini yasekhaya ehlakaniphile Netatmo.
Inani lomsebenzi awaziwa ngokuphelele, okucacayo yilokho lokhu kungaba umdlalo oyinhloko weLegrand ukuthi njengamanje ayinayo imishini ehambisana ne-automation yasekhaya kepha ibandakanyekile kulomhlaba ne-BTicino, okuwuphawu lweLegrand Group futhi enikeza izixazululo zasekhaya ezingeni eliphakeme kunalokho esikwaziyo njengokukhanya, i-thermostat, amakhamera ezokuphepha, njll…
Kulokhu, ngokuthengwa kweNetatmo, singasho ukuthi uzongena ngokugcwele kulokho esikubiza namuhla ngokuthi ikhaya elihlakaniphile noma i-intanethi yezinto, ngemikhiqizo "engabizi kakhulu" kubathengi abanjengawe noma mina. Kunoma ikuphi, okungenziwa ngalawa madivayisi kuyingxenye encane yalokho okunikezwa ngamademoni ochwepheshe kakhulu namuhla, kepha kuyisiqalo esihle kakhulu kubo bonke abasebenzisi kusukela kulula ukuyiqonda futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke ukufaka nokusebenzisa.
Icala leNetatmo sonke siyayazi i-thermostat noma amakhamera ezokuphepha angaxhunyaniswa nohlelo lwawo kudivayisi yethu futhi alawule konke okuvela kuyo. Kancane kancane lolu hlobo lomkhiqizo kuzoba yilolo ekuqaleni "olufakiwe" emakhaya. (kusukela namuhla kushoda okuncane) futhi kuzomelwe sisebenzise uhlelo lokusebenza olunikezwa ngunjiniyela ukuze sikwazi ukulawula amalambu, amakhethini, umnyango wegaraji, umoya opholisayo, njll.
