Prospects for using “Smart House” technology in Africa

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to present / illustrate that thanks to the growth of new technologies, the effective use of natural resources can be an important factor for the economic development of several African regions. Africa is a continent with the lowest share of “Smart House” construction technology usage. From this study, the minimum requirements for a “Smart House” were determined depending on the level of income of a person in Africa. The parameters of mobile communications for controlling the elements of a “Smart House” are presented. An algorithm of the “Smart House” element power supply system and its various accessories was formed. The use of a “Smart House” construction technology in Africa will reduce financial costs, improve living conditions and increase the population welfare. The technologies implemented will significantly reduce the daily and monthly costs of running a home in African countries. A general analysis of approaches to data transmission over the Internet is also presented, as this is a very important factor in the control and security of “Smart Houses” in remote access mode via mobile phones or computers. Of course, an indispensable condition is the access to this digital technology.
