Canadian startup tech company Smartiphy, is taking home automation to new levels with their unique technology that can distinguish who you are in your own home along with your vital signs through its Wireless Activity Recognition Technology.
It’s indoor activity recognition software uses your home’s Wi-Fi to detect the “ambient information” of the home owner so that it always knows where a person is always.
According to the company, the home automation systems they use has technology that can find a person by their ambiance which is as unique as your fingerprint.
Using your home’s Wi-Fi access points, these wireless signals spread throughout the home bouncing of the furniture, walls and people creating an intertwined structured network, or a “sensing mesh”. Once a person passes through this mesh, they create a disruption, and these signatures can be measured and analyzed giving a digital footprint of the events occurring.
The software used can learn what a person does within their home, thus gaining a better understanding of the activities, patterns and behavior.
This technology gives new meaning to the smarthome. Smarthome automation systems can remote control the lighting, audio/video systems, surveillance, irrigation systems and more often times from a smartphone.
If your house has the ability to learn who you are and your regular patterns, this technology from Smartiphy certainly has many real possibilities yet unforseen and may be a benefit in an emergency if the homeowner has injured themselves becoming unresponsive.
