Interoperability is a vital part of a smarthome.  As there is no set standard in terms of smarthome setup, there are several protocols that several vendors are using that are within a typical home.  Protocols like Zigbee and Zwave are two of the more common ones.  There are also legacy protocols like X.10 or Insteon or new methods like WiFi, Bluetooth, Thread or KNX.  Each vendor supports one or a few protocols but there  is no solution that incorporates "out of the box" all of the various protocols. Interoperability is achieved through the use of a controller and scripts that allow several devices to work in tandem with each other to enhance the end user experience.  Devices that individually won't work with each other can be synchronized to work with other devices via fog or cloud based computing.  NAC Mobile Solutions will do a pre-assessment of your home and determine what you have, what you desire and create a customized plan to bring automation to you.  If you want your alarm to turn on and your garage door to close and your lights to automatically shut off when you leave your driveway, that can be done.  Let us show you what can be done to ensure the safety of your home and enhance your lifestyle.
