3.4. Actuators
An Actuator is stereotypically a mechanical or electrical device
that triggers a given bustle. Like motors and switches. Such as
those in electric light switches, motorized valves, and the like.
Deprived of actuators, nothing gets done. Examples are home
doors, window draperies, garage door openers and closers, win-
dows, involuntary light switches etc[10].
3.5. Controllers
These are necessary to send signals to other devices to initiate
some sort of operation or be a part of a larger device to control
multiple devices [9]. High-end full house systems are shaped by
traders such as Crestron controller and Control4 controller and
low-end systems a like X10.
3.5.1. Crestron:
It offers a variety of smart home devices, to control TV and music
playback, lighting, window treatments, temperature, door locks
and other home security. With everything connected to Crestron’s
main hub, one can press one button on a remote or Smartphone
app to enable a specific “scene.”
