WIRED VS WIRELESS AUTOMATION
WIRED AUTOMATION;
In wired automation, installations are composed of switches, sockets, and so on, and they are connected within a structure. So such installations must meet regulations and safety standards, so it is definitely safer than wireless systems. In this system network connection is directly taken from the Local Area Network(LAN) so it transfers data more reliably than wifi.
ADVANTAGES OF WIRED AUTOMATION;
- The performance of wired automation is better than wireless automation systems.
- System latency is much lower and seamless controls of multiple circuits can be achieved.
- If you choose wired automation you can go for wireless but a reverse process is not possible.
- Reliable and stable.
- Lower security risk.
- It is more responsible than the wireless system.
- Faster transmission speed.
- Propagation delay is low.
DISADVANTAGES OF WIRED AUTOMATION;
- It is highly inflexible
- It is comparatively more expensive than a wireless solution
- It needs experts and technical people to install
WIRELESS AUTOMATION;
Wireless systems are composed of a central hardware system that generates a hub of connectivity of users’ devices in which they are used and is connected by means of wifi.
ADVANTAGES OF WIRELESS AUTOMATION;
- These systems are highly flexible than the wired automation systems
- Low installation and maintenance cost
- It does not require detailed planning like wire automation solutions
- Quick installation
- It can be done at any stage of the home, whereas a wired automation solution is possible only before the plastering process
- Once it did major changes can be added and it can be upgraded to a newer version
DISADVANTAGES OF WIRELESS AUTOMATION;
- Slow transmission speed
- less secure and less reliable
- It has a higher security risk than the wired automation systems
- Propagation delay is more
- Hence it is wifi connected system, so it may have signal issues and blind spot issues
CONCLUSION;
In the end, both wired and wireless automation have both some advantages and disadvantages, we recommend that wired automation is the best-suited one for the current trend. The wired automation solution is a more mature solution than the wireless automation system due to the nature of its system. Once the wired automation system is fixed it does not give you any trouble regarding communications unlike wireless systems have some signal issues and blind spot issues, so we consider wired automation is better than wireless systems.
