The below picture gives an idea of the smart home connectivity.

TECHNOLOGY - SMART HOME:
Smart home systems have struggled to find a mainstream audience in the past
because they require a bit of technical savvy from their users. But these days, the
fast proliferations of smartphones and tablets provide an easy way for even tech
novices to communicate with home automation gadgets and those gadgets are
currently more numerous.
Imagine a situation if all the devices in our life are connected to the internet. It can
be not just computers and smartphones, but everything in our home like clocks,
speakers, lights, doorbells, cameras, windows, window blinds, hot water heaters,
heating and air conditioning, TVs, computers, entertainment audio & video systems,
security and camera systems, appliances, cooking utensils etc. and, all those
devices shall communicate, send information, and take the command. This is
named as the Internet of Things (IOT), and it's a key component of home
automation and smart homes.
Smart home systems give the ability to control items around the house with a
simple push of a button or a voice command or by sensors. Lighting is a typical
example which can be controlled by day light sensors or occupation sensors or
through timers.
SAFETY AND SECURITY

Security system includes surveillance cameras, intruder detection, access control to
the home. The user would be able control the arming and disarming of the alarm, as
well as edit specific settings of the alarm, such as the key code. Sitting at any part
of the world we would be able to monitor our home through the CCTV cameras and
even provide access/entry to personals to our home. The intrusion detection
systems will alert the owner of any windows or doors being forced open, through
the use of electronic sensors that are connected to the system.
With the smart integrated security system, we will have the complete control in the
palm of your hand. Video monitoring gives the live complete access to our indoor
and outdoor surveillance camera from our mobile device. Also, we will receive alerts
when someone trespasses to our home, the thermostat is adjusted, or if a gas pipe
bursts in the kitchen.
When a vehicle approaches the driveway of a home, the system will be able to alert
the homeowner. Also, if an automatic number plate recognition(ANPR) cameras are
installed, it can read the number plates of the vehicles and allow access by giving
the opening command to the entry gates. Similarly, if there is any movement of a
trespasser during the night, the camera can focus to that area , record the incident
and even can be programmed to send an alert message to the owner.
