What are the features of Smart Homes?

Smart homes have several useful features that make living more convenient, safe, and efficient:

• Automated lighting: Lights can be controlled from a phone or can turn on/off automatically based on a fixed timetable, room occupancy, or the amount of natural light.
• Smart security systems: Devices like video doorbells, motion sensors, and smart locks improve safety by allowing remote monitoring and sending instant alerts if something unusual happens.
• Energy efficiency: Smart thermostats and smart appliances help optimise electricity use, which can reduce energy wastage and lower utility bills.
• Voice and app control: Many smart home devices can be controlled using mobile apps or voice assistants such as Alexa or Google Assistant.
• Remote access: Homeowners can monitor and control devices like cameras, locks, and lights from anywhere using a smartphone or tablet.
