Happy New Year!

Rostelecom presented a great gift this New Year's Eve by simultaneously turning off broadcasting on all paid cameras with a positive balance. A day later, repeated attempts to find the cause and solve the problem failed due to incompetence technical specialists Rostelecom. The balance replenishment was verbally confirmed by a Rostelecom specialist, but in the personal account the balance of funds still has not changed in any way, as well as the status of the cameras that have been turned off for the second day.
Total: Rostelecom writes off the client’s funds for a video surveillance service that is actually not working and pretends that there are no problems. Terrible service!

In March 2018, users of communication services for the first time had the opportunity to experience a simple Smart Home system from Rostelecom. It has been in development and testing for almost three years, and now represents an original solution for ensuring control and security of what is happening inside an apartment or private household.

How it works and what it allows you to do – read this article.

This is a set of sensors and a controller, as well as video surveillance cameras, which are installed in an apartment/house and connected into a common system.

The kit may consist of the following sensors:

To determine when someone enters and leaves the premises, to turn on/off the lights, or to notify the owner of an illegal intrusion into the home.
To detect leaks in the kitchen and bathroom.
Smoke detector to prevent fire or “accident” with dinner in the kitchen.

Control systems may also include the ability to remotely adjust lighting and turn on/off outlets and, accordingly, electrical appliances.

How it works

Sensors and a central controller are installed in an apartment or house. Depending on what you purchased tariff plan, the contents of the box will vary. Features can be combined.

Additionally, video surveillance can also be installed in the house, which is paid separately.

The controller and sensors operate via the Internet. All information is sent to Rostelecom cloud servers and becomes available to the owner through the Smart Home smartphone application. The application controls the controller wherever you are - you can even issue commands from work. According to the commands, the controller begins executing one of the scenarios you have configured - for example, turning off a forgotten iron (by stopping the supply of electricity to the outlet).

Also, statistical and factual information is received through the application, and you can view video from video surveillance systems in real time. This feature will be useful if you have small child or a schoolchild who need supervision.

Informing you about any emergency with pipes or smoke also occurs remotely if the setting is applied.

Tariffs

The Smart Home tariff schedule is formed depending on the set of sensors that you want to use, and the information from which will be stored on the company’s servers.

Base

A small starting rate that includes a recorder of human movements in rooms and a sensor for opening doors and windows. The latter also allows you to monitor the temperature in the room and set the lights to turn on and off depending on whether a person has opened the door or not. The kit also includes the required controller for the entire system.

The cost of use is 600 rubles per month.

Advanced

A more complete tariff, including all basic setup options + special sensors for detecting smoke or leaks in the apartment.

Control

A special tariff that includes basic setup options + control of sockets and lighting remotely in real time. Smoke and leakage sensors are not included in the kit.

Cost – 900 rubles per month.

How much does the system cost?

The smart home system itself requires a one-time payment of 1300 rubles. There is no need to pay for connection.

The first month of use is paid additionally according to the selected tariff.

How to register

To apply for connection, need to:

Setting up a Smart Home

You can configure the system:

"Smart home" works according to specified scenarios. They are set by the user himself, and permanent system configuration is not required subsequently. All instructions are supplied with the system. In total, you can organize several hundred different scenarios inside an apartment or house that would cover all possible situations.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The benefits of such a system are extensive. The user can establish a unique dialogue with vital equipment inside his apartment or house, connect a security system, and turn his home into a comfortable space for living.

Pros of the system:

Cheap use and connection – some tariffs home internet are more expensive than Smart Home.
A wide range of functions in different tariffs - you can choose something for you personally.
Reliability of sensors or alerts – it’s impossible to miss anything.
Possibility to integrate with the system and Video surveillance from Rostelecom.
Ensuring the safety of electrical networks - even if you forgot a device in the outlet, you can turn it off without returning home.
Data security - everything is collected and encrypted using reliable cloud service protocols.
Access 24/7.
Several control modes, depending on which a set of scenarios is switched - when you are at home, at work or away.

Disadvantages of the system:

To date this is the only simple system from the same company, therefore minor disruptions in data transfer and coordinated work may occur.
Area limitation - all sensors must be connected no further than 40 meters from the controller.
Some users may not like the fact that all information is stored on Rostelecom servers, and not on personal computer user.

The Rostelecom Smart Home kit, which went on sale in March 2018, is perhaps the simplest security solution in terms of installation and use. As part of the IT class, we will try to take into account and analyze all the nuances of this product.

Service concept

A “smart home” is a set of devices connected to the Internet and designed to remotely monitor events occurring in an apartment online and promptly notify the user in the event of an emergency situation. Examples of such a situation include smoke, water leakage, or a stranger entering the house.

The devices are installed out of the box and, once connected, are ready for use. To manage them, use the web interface (Personal Account on the service operator’s website) or a mobile application. Here you can configure the scenarios according to which the Smart Home will operate.

The user is notified via push notification on a smartphone, SMS or e-mail. Information about all events recorded by devices (event reports, video archive) is stored in the cloud and, accordingly, cannot be lost or stolen from the apartment.

Who is the “Smart Home” service intended for?

The desire to protect your home from all sorts of troubles is inherent in everyone, but not so long ago it was quite difficult to implement this idea. Among possible options there were “heavy” expensive solutions offered by service companies, as well as various homemade systems from devices from different manufacturers, created by the user independently and requiring considerable technical knowledge.

IN lately Major players in the telecom market began to pay attention to the security services segment. In an effort to popularize these services, they began to produce “boxed” products that were as simple as possible for installation and operation, and also affordable. The growth of interest in Smart Home solutions was also facilitated by the development of cloud technologies, thanks to which their implementation in a similar format became possible.

One of these solutions was the “Smart Home” from Rostelecom in March 2018. We can say that this service is intended for everyone who cares about the safety of their home or apartment and has the means to make it more technologically advanced.

In this case, scenarios for using the product can vary from classic to the most extraordinary - it all depends on the imagination and needs of the user.

What components are included in the Rostelecom solution?

The basic set of Smart Home equipment includes a controller, an opening sensor and a motion sensor. This set primarily performs security functions.

The extended kit includes additional smoke and leakage sensors. They are designed to respond to the most critical incidents that can occur at home: flooding and fire.

The controller is the main element of the Smart Home, designed to configure and control all other devices (up to 230 units). It connects to the Internet via the subscriber's cable channel or Wi-Fi and provides interaction with devices using the Z-Wave Plus wireless protocol, created specifically for remote control consumer electronics and other devices. Data transmission using Z-Wave technology is protected from interference that can be created by third-party Wi-Fi networks, thus ensuring the stability of the service. For a wireless connection, it is advisable to place the controller in close proximity to the router.

The door and window opening sensor detects the opening of a door or window, and also records the temperature and lighting in the room. Consists of two parts: one is mounted on the door or window, the other on the door frame or window frame.

The leak sensor has a special probe that reacts to contact with water - it should be located in the place where the leak is most likely: for example, under a heating radiator. In addition, the device records temperature and humidity.

The motion sensor reacts to movements in the focus of its review at a distance of up to 7 meters, and also records temperature and light. The standard, but not the only possible place for its installation is the wall of the corridor in front of the front door.

The smoke detector reacts to smoke in the apartment.

The controller runs on mains power, but is also equipped with a 1150 mA/h backup battery, which will help out in case of a power outage. All other devices are powered by a CR123A battery, which has a service life of up to two years.

You can also connect a video camera to the Smart Home system (to the same controller and to the same account): including the one that was previously used in .

Service cost

Both a subscriber of the operator’s broadband access services and any individual can use the Smart Home solution from Rostelecom.

For existing Rostelecom clients, an installment plan option is available for two years, with an initial payment of 1,300 rubles. For two years, the monthly payment will be 600 rubles for a basic set or 900 rubles for an extended one.

Everyone, without exception, is offered option No. 2: a one-time purchase of a set of equipment (11,590 rubles basic, 16,990 rubles extended) and subsequent free use of the service for a year.

After the specified period (two years for installments and a year for a one-time payment), the monthly subscription fee for servicing one controller will be 350 rubles/month - regardless of the number of devices connected to it.
