What is Ufanet smart home, sensor and their work scenarios, how to connect

Ufanet Smart Home is a system that allows you to increase the safety and comfort of an apartment, office and service facilities. Its function includes informing about dangerous situations, as well as protection with the help of special automation.

In addition, the capabilities of a smart home include the control of appliances using a special application.

Sensors and scenarios for their operation

The Ufanet smart home is a group of sensors that are connected wirelessly using a central device.

The functions of the latter include receiving a signal via Wi-Fi to control various systems of an apartment, house or office through a special application.

At the same time, the main feature of the system is the presence of several work scenarios.

Let us dwell on each of them in more detail.

Informing about hacking

To protect against penetration, three sensors are used: door opening, movement and glass breakage.

There is also a siren, which is activated when one of the controlling bodies is triggered.

Additionally, you can install a video camera that will record all events in the apartment / office through the application.

Warning and prevention of accidents

Ufanet smart home features include protection against several situations: flooding, gas leakage, fire.

Flooding

A water sensor is installed, when triggered, a notification of an accident is sent to the phone.

For reliability, it is recommended to install a pipe overlap module that will close the water and help protect against the flood.

Gas leak

The device is mounted near a gas stove or boiler. As soon as the sensor is triggered, an accident notification is sent to the owner’s phone.

An alternative solution is to install a gas shut-off valve that will automatically operate when gas is detected and shut off the gas supply, protecting against fire/explosion.

Fire

A smoke detector is installed in the kitchen under the ceiling or in a room with heating appliances.

When the device is triggered, as in previous cases, a message comes in the application.

In addition, if the valve is installed on gas, the supply is automatically closed.

Instrument control

A useful option of the system is the automation of household appliances, and several solutions are available here:

1. Light control with a special relay. To turn the light on and off, just go to the application.
2. Household appliances management. To implement the task, a smart socket is used, to which you can connect different devices. For example, the system allows you to remotely turn on / off the heater. For greater convenience, it is required to install a temperature sensor, at the command of which voltage will be applied or removed from the heating equipment.

Thus, the Ufanet Smart Home system includes the following sensors:

• opening doors;
• movement;
• glass breaking;
• smoke;
• flooding.

Additional devices include:

• smart socket – to turn on / off the equipment;
• smart relay – to apply voltage or disconnect the circuit;
• siren – scares off intruders.

The main body is the center of the smart home, which receives signals from all sensors, controls additional devices and sends a signal to the owner’s mobile phone.

Where to download software

To control the Ufanet smart home, a special application “My smart home” is used.

It is intended for the following devices:

1. Smartphones with Android 4.4 and higher with at least 1 GB of RAM.
2. iPhones with iOS 11 and up, and iPads and iPad Touch 11 and up. The same version is suitable for MAC OS with Apple M chip

The program is under active development and has a size of about 40 MB.

Smart intercom from Ufanet

The capabilities of a smart intercom allow you to see who has come to visit, and even chat with a person.

At the same time, the entrance door is opened using an application on a mobile phone / tablet.

A feature of the system is the presence of a face recognition function and the Alina voice assistant.  

Let’s take a closer look at the main features.

Opening doors

The My Smart Home program has an option that allows you to open the doors remotely and not go to the handset. You can perform this step even when you are away from home. This is convenient when a relative who does not have a key comes to you.

Face Detection

The smart intercom scans the visitor, recognizes him and opens the door if the entered data matches. If the system does not recognize the guest, the doors will not open.

The analysis is carried out along the contour of the face. The owner just needs to go to the door, press the button and wait for recognition.

You must first save a photo of yourself and family members in the application.

Video calling

The owner of the apartment / house sees the person and can talk to him. After an external examination and communication, you can decide whether to let the visitor through or not.

All calls, both viewed and missed, can be viewed in the call history.

Archive of records

The owner has access to the archive of guest records of all visitors who tried to get into the house / apartment / office during their absence.

At the same time, the user can be sure of the reliable storage of data.

Porch and backyard inspection

If you wish, you can look into the video camera of a smart intercom to assess the situation. In other words, the system plays the role of conventional video surveillance.

Voice assistance from Alina

Users have access to the Alina assistant, which is Ufanet’s own development. She is able to communicate with the owner and give him recommendations on how to perform certain actions.

How it works

The principle of operation of the Ufanet smart intercom is simple:

1. The user calls the intercom.
2. Data is transmitted to the controller, and then to the Internet.
3. Information from the camera on the threshold is immediately transmitted to the Network.
4. The tubes in the apartment are connected to the switching unit, and then go to the controller.
5. The user controls the system through the application and the Internet. He sees the visitor and can talk to him wherever he is. If necessary, he can open the doors, even from the workplace.
6. The data is saved to the dom.ufanet server. In case of any incidents, you can contact the company and request data.

Structurally, the system includes:

1. Camera with voice module. Mounted at the entrance to the entrance and connected to the Internet. It features IR-illumination for shooting in the dark.
2. Controller. Collects data and passes it to the application. Must be connected to the Internet. Installed inside the entrance. It is the controller that turns an ordinary intercom into a smart one.
3. Switching block. Used to connect tubes in an apartment / house.
4. Application. Provides user interaction with the system.

The test set with installation is free. In the future, the “Smart intercom” option without a cloud costs 120 rubles / month (in the first half of 2021), and with data saved in the cloud – 170 rubles / month.

In all cases, access to a personal account, the possibility of integration with information systems, advertising and technical support are open. If you have access to the cloud, the data is stored for three days in the system archive.

To install the Smart Intercom, you need to hold a meeting of residents and draw up a protocol. It must indicate that Ufanet will act as a service organization.

Summing up

Smart home from Ufanet is a multifunctional system that allows you to protect your home, apartment or office from penetration or emergencies.

The main feature is the ease of setup / management, as well as an affordable price, which makes the system one of the most competitive modern devices on the market.
