Connected Systems video: understanding the systems underpinning smart homes

In October 2016, we published our Code of Practice for Connected Systems Integration in Buildings. We’re continuing to see a lot of interest around smart homes and the connected systems that are required to make a smart home work. However, despite the interest, there seems to be a lack of confidence in how to go about implementing such connected systems.

We explored the subject of connected systems in our video below. In the video, with Robert Llewellyn hosting, Lutron’s Sam Woodward explores the concept of smart homes and how to turn the idea into reality.

 

We are currently working on a Guide to Smart Homes for Electricians, which is in the early stages of development. In the production of this Guide, we’re working with organisations such as CEDIA, NAPIT, Certsure, Voltimum and Energenie, as well as electricians who currently offer smart home installation work. Our aim for the Guide is to provide electricians with the resources and information necessary to expand their current offering to include smart home installations.

We expect to be publishing a consultation document this year for you to review. Please keep an eye on Wiring Matters if you wish to take part in the consultation.

We’re upgrading our systems, and this includes changes to our customer and member account log in, MyIET. It’s part of our big picture plan to deliver a great experience for you and our wider engineering community.
