Smart thermostats are gadgets that give homeowners remote access to their houses’ temperature control. They can be set up to change the temperature automatically based on your schedule, or you can use your smartphone to make manual adjustments. Additionally, they have the capacity to recognize your habits and automatically change the temperature to suit them.

2. Smart Lighting

Smart lighting enables you to manage your home’s illumination from any location, at any time. Using your smartphone or voice assistant, you may dim or change the color of the lights. Some intelligent lighting systems can even be set to activate and deactivate on their own based on your schedule or when you enter or exit a room. An example of this is the NG-L100 E26 SMART LIGHT BULB.

Cameras and sensors that can detect motion, sound, and other activities are frequently part of smart security systems.

Some systems can also interface with other smart home components, such as smart lights, to give an extra layer of security.

What is the difference between smart homes and home automation?

Having a smart home typically means you have set up your devices with a wireless protocol so that they run either with voice control, automatically, with routines or schedules, or with you controlling them remotely with a mobile device or computer.

When your devices respond to a trigger without your input at the moment it occurs, this is when automation is set. This trigger may be an action by you or another person, a timetable, changes in the temperature or weather, motion, or the state of a device.

In conclusion, Smart home automation provides homeowners with increased control, convenience, and security. From controlling the temperature and lighting in your home to securing your doors and monitoring your home, smart home automation has the ability to make your life easier and more secure. With the advancements in technology, the possibilities for smart home automation are nearly endless, and the future of home automation looks bright.
