When you’ve got a home full of smart gears whose primary aim is to make your life more convenient and safer. If not all then most of your home control devices require two basic things- internet and power connections. Unfortunately, all of us have been in a situation where one or both services go out. Problematic, but can easily be fixed.

One of the most significant aspects of your smart home is security. Sure, one might feel like other devices provide access, convenience, and monitoring; however, safety is all about protecting your family and home. When you are out and picking a security system that checks all the boxes for you, you would want to get the one that has a cell and battery backup. Also, check if your connected sensors have back ups. 

A good example is Schneider Electric’s uninterruptible power supply and its products. The company has a variety of ups battery backup that covers applications from computer rooms to large data centres and thereon provides holistic industrial plant protection. Products are made with a UPS or voltage conditioning technology for whatever the need be — varying from KW to applications of many MW and the extensive range of supply voltages. 

What they do is provide uninterrupted power to everything that is plugged into it, and for your smart home, go for a smart ups, it will keep everything up and running. These are also usean industrial UPS. When you get one, the UPS provides battery backup will provide you with power and protection for electronic devices, that includes:

• Wireless networking equipment (routers, modems)

  Computers

  Televisions

  Security systems

  Gaming consoles

  ​Mobile devices

However, one thing that should be taken into consideration is that even with five more minutes of extra power you can calmly save any open files and then shut down your computer to prevent hardware or software damage.

Another thing to keep in mind is how frustrating it is when your computer automatically shuts off when the power turns off for even a few seconds. So if your computer is attached to a UPS, such an event might also get unnoticed as the battery will be providing the necessary power before, during and even after the power break.

If we are talking about the wireless networking equipment (routers, modems), in that can be divided into two parts- a power pack that is provided by the service provider and the t=router with the inbuilt modem. Both of these things are backed by UPS. There are some routers with cell backup that will allow your net to be connected even if your wired connection is down.

Another thing that you can add to your home automation system is an alarm system, mobile devices, gaming consoles for the same reasons stated above.
