Domotics is the technology for developing the automation of common installations in a house or building. Despite the high expectations due to the potential energy saving, comfort and security, there was a low increasing in the number of domotics installations. Main reasons are the diversity of existing products and the difficulties potential users perceive in their managing. Our research group has developed several software tools that simplify the design, installation and maintenence of domotics building. Also, they provide a friendly interface with the end user, for the local and remote supervision of the automated functions.
