My latest article is the second in a three part series on the resilient smart home.? The first article focused on making the smart home systems in a home resilient to natural disasters, and other events, that can impact the ability of the homeowners and their family to live in their home.? This second part in this series of articles focuses on making other systems in the home resilient.? The final article in this series will focus on leveraging smart home technology to avoid having issues in your home and, again, leveraging smart home technology to minimize the damage to a home when an issue occurs.

You can find the article here:

The first article in the series can be found here:



For those interested in earlier articles that I've written, you can find those here:



I've found a new site to host my blog so for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that using the link below. The process of exporting all my old content from Blogger and importing it into WordPress was far from perfect. So there are formatting issues with old posts and images that didn't import. I will see what I can do about correcting some of these issues over time.



Thanks

Thanks for the interesting article.

I faced this question in practice with the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Russia and the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

Literally from the first day, almost all objects had to be added Light Masking mode.
Later - to solve the issue of constant long-term failures in the electricity supply. We had to work out the procedure for maximum energy saving while the house is powered by batteries. We have been using the input voltage control relay for a long time - this is Ukraine, there are problems with power quality here.

We have been building a local network independently for 10 years, so this system did not cause any problems. Local network and router backup has been done for a long time. With the beginning of the war, we began to reserve the Internet channel as well (we started another public provider or use Starlink).

A long time ago, I developed a system for remote access to objects that do not have an external routable IP address.

I had to add a notification module to Telegram (this is such a widespread messenger in our region). With the help of notifications in a special chat, I understand exactly what is happening at the object, and special commands through the same chat give me the opportunity to launch certain processes.

We also encountered water reservation in practice. The most interesting case is the installation of a flow storage for water in a city apartment.

I can tell many interesting cases from practice :)

Thanks Yevhen.

I think the hands on information you've added is really valuable.? It provides a real world perspective of the material I've tried to present.

Thanks again
