Smart-home
The whole idea of a smart-home in my opinion is basically home automation, an automation of the home, housework or household activity. It may include centralised control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. Home automation for the elderly and disabled can provide increased quality of life for people who might otherwise require caregivers or institutional care.
I am into home automation, so I will chime in.
I think the ultimate goal for home automation is “automation.” My house should be able to respond to me, my family, and our movements/actions.

    1. One of the purposes of home automation is to save energy.a smart-home may provide improved energy efficiency, energy prices are soaring and that makes selling the idea of smart-home, particularly money-saving gadgets that can help save money by switching off appliances when the smart-home system detects that no one is in a particular room or at home that much easier. Besides, think of how cool you'll look in front of your friends when you invite then over.
      For now, this is a luxury. But like all great products that take off, this will too, and when it takes off, price will come down too.
