A house that employs internet-connected gadgets to provide remote monitoring and administration of systems and appliances, such as lighting and heating, is referred to as a smart home.

Homeowners can control smart devices with smart home technology, also known as home automation which offers security, comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency. This is frequently done through a smart home app on a smartphone or other networked device. Smart home systems and gadgets, which are a component of the internet of things (IoT), frequently work together, exchanging consumer usage data among themselves and automating activities depending on the preferences of the homeowners.

Smart home automation examples.

There is now a smart home option for almost every home activity (lightbulbs, dishwashers, etc.):

• Smart TVs may access content through apps, such as on-demand movie and music, by connecting to the internet. Additionally, some smart TVs include gesture or voice recognition.
• Smart lighting solutions, like Hue from Philips Lighting Holding B.V., can detect when people are in the room and alter lighting as necessary in addition to being able to be modified and controlled remotely. Additionally, intelligent lights may control themselves based on the amount of daylight.
• With built-in Wi-Fi, smart thermostats like Nest from Nest Labs Inc. enable users to remotely monitor, schedule, and regulate home temperatures. In order to give inhabitants the most comfort and effectiveness, these gadgets also learn the habits of the homeowners and automatically alter settings. Among other things, smart thermostats may monitor energy usage and remind customers to update their filters.
• Users can allow or reject entrance to guests using smart locks and garage-door openers. Smart locks may also recognize when a resident is around and automatically unlock the doors.
• Residents can keep an eye on their houses when they are abroad or on vacation thanks to smart security cameras. Smart motion sensors can distinguish between inhabitants, guests, animals, and intruders, and they can alert authorities if any unusual activity is seen.
• Connected feeders provide automatic pet care. Using linked timers, you may water your yard and inside plants.
• There are many different types of kitchen appliances available, such as smart coffee makers that can brew a fresh cup automatically at a set time, smart refrigerators that keep track of expiration dates, create shopping lists, or even create recipes using ingredients already in the house, toasters and slower cookers, and washing machines and dryers for the laundry room.
• Household system monitors may detect an electric surge and shut off appliances, or they may detect a water failure or frozen pipes and shut off the water, so the basement doesn't flood.

Smart home automations offer numerous advantages.

• Home automation offers homeowners piece of mind by enabling them to monitor their properties from a distance, preventing risks like a forgotten coffee maker left on or an open front door.
• The elderly can also benefit from smart automation since they provide monitoring that enables seniors to stay at home comfortably and safely rather than having to go into a nursing home or need round-the-clock home care.
• User preferences may be accommodated in smart homes for ease. Users may set their garage door to open, lights to turn on, fireplace to light, and preferred music to play when they arrive, for instance.
• Additionally, users may increase efficiency using home automation. A smart home system may learn habits and ensure that the house is cooled down by the time residents get home from work instead of turning on the air conditioning throughout the day. Appliances follow the same rules. The grass will only be watered when necessary and with the precise amount of water required with a smart irrigation system. Home automation makes it possible to use energy, water, and other resources more effectively, which helps consumers save both money and natural resources.
