What is a Smart Home?
Connected home and smart home are the terms used interchangeably but they are both different. Let’s clarify the differences and similarities between them:
Home Automation or Domotics: Homeowners use various appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and gadgets that can be operated using electricity. Today, these appliances are connected with the Internet of Things (IoT) to make these appliances intelligent. The smart electrical appliances are equipped with smart IoT sensors to decide the amount of water needed, provide thermostats to correct the temperature.
For instance, a smart air conditioner senses when a person enters the room and it accordingly adjusts or regulates the temperature to make that person feel comfortable.
Various smart devices are connected with an AI component. The AI component keeps a check on human behavior and accordingly facilitates the homeowners to adjust things as per their convenience. For eg., Amazon echo is the perfect example of a smart IoT device. The device is equipped with AI (Alexa) to enhance user experiences.
