This can be attributed to the advent of new-age technologies, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propacity.in\/blog\/proptech\/\">PropTech<\/a><\/strong>, smartphones, and most importantly, the internet. Not only have these advanced gadgets made our life super convenient, but also trim down electricity bills, provide round the clock security and even cook food automatically! But since smart homes and automation technology are relatively new concepts, understanding them can become overwhelming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we will break down the critical aspects of home automation technology and how it integrates different elements over the internet to perform various activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of this blog, you would be equipped with all the details pertaining to automated residences. So instead of asking Alexa to explain what smart homes are, you can ask it to add a bunch of smart devices to your cart!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are Smart Homes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Residences where you can remotely control various appliances and devices through the internet are known as smart homes. These systems are connected with phones, laptops or other devices through apps or their separate interfaces, which are then operated over the internet. Changing the thermostat temperature, granting access to visitors through smart locks, mobile controlled blinds and curtains, and smart TV\u2019s are some of the examples.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, by addressing safety, convenience and energy efficiency, smart home technology offers modern living with a sense of comfort and luxury.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are Automated Homes Similar to Smart Homes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The terms \u2018smart home\u2019 and \u2018automated home\u2019 are often used interchangeably; however, there is a difference between the two. Let us understand this difference through an example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you control and operate gadgets over the internet through handheld devices, they are known as smart appliances. For example, you have installed a Wi-Fi enabled surveillance camera in your home. So when you want to monitor a baby who\u2019s sleeping in another room, you can press the button on the app and watch the video. This equates to a home with smart features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now if this camera automatically detects movements, captures and sends images directly to your app, that would equate to an automated home. Hence, home automation works on the principles of smart homes. These systems are programmed to detect or schedule different events automatically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Smart Homes and their Relation with IoT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>IoT or Internet of Things refers to physical systems that are generally not expected to have an internet connection, but are controlled over the internet. For example, a bulb, thermostat, watch, refrigerator, home gates, etc. So when these IoT enabled systems are interconnected, it is what makes an automated home.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does the Smart Home Automation Technology Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated or smart homes consist of a network of hardware, software, communication devices, and electronic interfaces that integrate different devices through the internet. This network relies on five main components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Internet<\/td><td>To connect and operate devices<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Communication Protocols<\/td><td>To send signals from one device to another using Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, ZigBee, KNX, Infrared, Bluetooth, etc.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sensors<\/td><td>To detect and monitor various changes&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Controllers [Handheld devices]<\/td><td>To send commands and receive status<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Actuators<\/td><td>Controls the mechanism of appliances like bulbs and door cameras&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All IoT-based devices have these components. So when these gadgets are connected to the internet, they receive commands through handheld devices and respond accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you want to bake a cake in a Wi-Fi (communication protocol) enabled oven. For this, you will connect the Wi-Fi to the oven and a handheld device (controllers) like a phone. You will then pre-feed the settings on an app, press the start button and the cake will start baking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where can this Technology be Used?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If we have to explain the concept of smart homes in a lucid way, then it is nothing but connecting, operating and monitoring all the functional elements of your home on handheld devices through the internet. Unlike a vehicle, where all parts have to be brought together to make it functional, you don\u2019t need to rebuild your home from scratch to experience an intelligent living.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep your home secured round-the-clock, you can install surveillance and video door phone systems. If you want to trim down your electricity bills, you can install daylight and motion sensors. If you want to sprinkle water in your backyard at a specific time, you can equip your home with lawn irrigation systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, the applications of home automation technology are wide and can be used in multifarious areas like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/propacity.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Smart-Homes-1.png\" alt=\"Smart Homes\" class=\"wp-image-1935\" width=\"550\" height=\"608\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Examples of Automated and Smart Homes Technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the incorporation of IoT in real estate, an array of products and systems have been developed which cater to the needs of different types of properties.
