Smart Home
A smart home refers to a technologically enhanced residential setup where various functions, such as heating, lighting, and appliance configurations, are automated or remotely controlled through network-connected devices like smartphones or tablets. Smart home systems integrate both hardware and software solutions to enhance convenience and efficiency for occupants, exemplifying one of the most prominent applications of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. For instance, a sleep tracker wearable worn by an occupant may synchronize with the room’s temperature control system, automatically adjusting the temperature based on the occupant’s sleep patterns and preferences.
