Home.
MAIN BODY
Brief description of Innovation
A Smart Home is based on the residence that uses as interconnected hardware devices,
enable to control remote monitoring and management of different appliances on the system.
Nowadays, the most commonly used as lighting, heating. Smart home technology is also referred
as home automation which providing the better home owner security, convenience, comfort and
energy efficiently (Nižetić, Šolić and Patrono, 2020). It allows them to control all control smart
devices and establishing an interconnection between them. Internet of Things, smart Home are
combined work together, sharing the consumer use data or information among themselves. This
can possible by implementing automation action on the basis of home owner’s preferences.
Smart home can help for consumers to improve their efficiency and performance, instead
of leaving the air conditioning on all day. Typically, Smart home system can also learn about
their behaviour and make sure that entire house become cooled down. In this way, it can be
identified that home automation system to be truly effective (Treiblmaier, Rejeb and Strebinger,
2020). Different devices and system must be handled with proper manner. In order to maintain
and control the standards of Smart home in context of performance.

Example of Smart Home technologies:- Every aspect of life where smart home technology has
entered within domestic space and introduced as smart home alternative.
 Smart TVs connect with internet to access large amount of content through applications
such as video, music and other non-demand video. TV is the most common example
which includes voice and other type of gesture recognition.
Use of smart home technology of smart home technology
Smart home technology is considered as a general term in order to provides the basic
amenities that can be fitted alongside the communication technology, allowing some degree of
remote control or automation.
By the help of the Smartphone connecting all the appliances to the smart phones is
consider as an obvious plus as it means that one can laundry while someone at work and also
save their energy or money both. So one can turn off lights, heating devices and electrical
devices when one can away from their home. So that there will be no electricity wasted.
Safety is also considered as one of the most popular features regarding smart home technology.
One can easily as well as smartly secure their home or properly by utilising things such as
alarm systems, wireless cameras, monitor sensors ,WI-Fi enabled door locks as well as video
doorbells and many more. If there is some kind of the water leakage in some part of house or one
can closed the garage or locked the room when left from house, there is only one can need is
smart home system. Smart home devices are such type of devices that prevent any risk that
enables one to monitor house anytime one desires. Water sensors can also detect unwanted water
as well as alert one right away. It is one of another largest benefit is that enables appliances in
order to work alongside energy within most effective way (Sánchez-Corcuera. and et.al., 2019).
Thus LED lights that replaces induction cook, efficiency bulbs as smart blinds can also regulate
the indoor temperature so one cannot require to overuse heating or AC. Apart from the electricity
other thing that smart phone home technology can aids is that save on is consumption of water.
Pools pumps, Smart sprinkles, smart retention tanks that can reuse rainwater as well as smart
faucets are considered as some of the ways in order to save water alongside the smart home.

Smart home technology is consider as most environment friendly as well as more efficient. If one
can too busy to see a doctor then they must try to utilise smart health trackers as it is not about
the calories but also at the same time one’s activity , sleep patterns and heart rate too. By the help
of smart home tracking one change their routine for the better as well as controls their stress
level as smart lights are the one that will changes as per person’s needs and also according to the
natural light time as well as also suits one’s mood as well as health.
Identifying possible and impossible innovation to make a house smart
In context of sustainable future, it should consider both possible and impossible
innovation that applicable in Smart house. It is important to identify the specific need or
requirement of every people.
Possible Innovation to make a house smart
 Tunable lighting’s, white lights that can change mood, behaviour of individual person.
According to study, it has identified that long time that light directly affects person
moods. Bluish hues can boost the energy while reddish tones tend to calm down. In this
way, it can implement as Tunable Light innovation that automatically changes as per on
demand and better way to inspire other one. At home, it might be effective as listening to
different genres of sound, music (Rathee, Ahuja and Nayyar, 2019). This type of
innovation will help to create a Home smart which become possible to change the
perception of people towards this concept.
 The smart home innovation is bringing as minority report in term of reality. Different
home gadgets can use technology which are heavily work on the basis of voice
command. Sometimes, it is not very useful but still help to find particular information or
detailed. For Example- Falcon’s talon smart ring is a type of device that combine with
smart home. In order to control with their own jewellery, give a command to control
device, simply using as hand gestures. It is one of most possible innovation that help to
make Home Smart.

 Fancy controlling washing machine through smartphone which is one of the most
innovation that useful for everyone. Samsung has recently unveiled its Quick-drive
washer. This the most compact little washing machine and directly connect with phone
letting check its current program, even also schedule wash cycles. Another way, it help
for adding extra clothes at the time of wash cycle without turning off. It could become the
norm in which help for making as Smart Home.
Impossible Innovation to make a house smart
 Robot Kitchen- For those who have not want to cook food and some people do not have
time. it is one the effective innovative idea that help to make a Smart Home but this type
of innovation is consider as impossible because not yet launch. It is not so distance future
but will not able to employ service in term of professional chef within robot form
(Sánchez, Corcuera and Et.al., 2019). This type of technology is consider as set of
revolutionise the kitchen and as price falls they bound to become as standard features in
their homes.
 Wireless charging- it is another type of innovation that help to make Smart Home and
could change the furniture forever. This type of innovation is being rolled by technology
companies and interestingly. Basically, it have been started to integrate wireless charging
into their flat packs. It is mainly existence to the norm which is not so distant future. This
type of new technology will bot liberate us all from broken, oppression of lost and other
trailing method or technique.
 Altro Smart Lock- it is one the common need that smart devices fill in their home which
providing the better security aspects. This type of innovation is applicable at that time but
also describing as key less access or open door (Treiblmaier, Rejeb and Strebinger,
2020). It is consider so advanced that would generally take two or three other separated
products to provide same level of security, convince. The smart lock is controlled by
smart phone and help them to control door from anywhere in global world.

How can use renewable energy to make Smart Home
With ever increasing the digital transformation, automation and other type of population
are facing problem huge energy crisis because of releasing carbon emission, climate change and
depletion of fossil. The importance of renewable and suitable energy resources which are
undeniable. “Smart home technology” is also known as home automation and allows a user to
control the comfort, convenience and energy efficiency of residence through smart devices.
The Renewable energy resources are computed and incorporated into existing sources.
Through this, it is efficiently way to operate home appliance to cut price or cost of electricity.
Different type of home appliances would be anything. Typically, the most energy demanding are
washing machine, air conditioners and other refrigerators.
A refrigerator works continuously throughout the day and fluctuate the power load which
may increase variables activities of their compressor system, cooling process. Generally,
compressor works continuously until their temperature is set particular level and equal or below.
At that time, it should not require the unnecessary use of lights which reducing the energy
wastage. The scheduling of all essential appliances can be controlling on the basis of resident
behaviour, discomfort index (Velu, Arulanthu and Perumal, 2019). Each and every processes are
scheduling that can handle static or run-time. The cost of electricity varies through day. For
Example- if an individual people can use dishwasher and other machine during its peak hours. It
will help for maintain the electricity bills. Sometimes, it can be used solar panel to generate
electric energy that help for using smart home appliances. Furthermore, it can measure the
electricity production and put them excess back into grid, utilise the power by agency pay as fee.
A small solar electric or photovoltaic system can be consider as reliable and pollution
free producer in term of electricity and use at home. It is the most common use of renewable
energy source that convert into electricity (Treiblmaier, Rejeb and Strebinger, 2020). It provide
the cost effective power supply in different location where it is expensive or impossible to send
electricity through power lines. A smart home energy management is capable of exchange
commands between energy providers and households to optimize the energy consumptions. Use
8

of renewable energy that can establish collaboration between energy shareholders. As a result of
reducing consumer electric bill and better way to manage peak load by utilising electrical. Other
related all smart home devices can use electricity by renewable solar energy resources.
A renewable energy resources was one of integrated with public power grid and better
way to manage or control smart home power consumption. At certain level, switching between
power from grid and renewable energy sources controlled or managed, tested in proper manner.
it was proven that communication occurs between utility server, home gate way as result in
managing the peak level. When integrating the renewable energy sources that help to saving 33%
of home energy bill.
Use and application of innovation, creativity theory to resolve technical problem and achieve
desirable a sustainable future.
In context of smart home, it applicable the different innovative applications that allow
homeowner to control lights, appliances and devices remotely using smart phone through
internet connection. Usually, it has been setup smart home through both wireless as well as
hardwired system. Some innovation smart home application or appliances come with self-
learning skill (Treiblmaier, Rejeb and Strebinger, 2020). In this way, it can easily learn about the
home owner’s schedule and make adjustment as per needed. Smart home enabled with lighting
control in order to reduce use of electricity, providing more benefits or advantage in term of
energy related cost saving.
Critical design issue or problem are prominent in term of smart home service. It would be
increasing the mis-management during the communication with devices. Critical designing
issues were identified through health problem and daily activities identified in scenario.
Technical related issue affect households and community in term of installation and use of
technology (Mashal and Shuhaiber, 2019). Main purpose of Smart home is to improve quality of
life of people through automated devices, enable them to live a safe healthy comfortable life
independently. Advanced technology based home service that integrates with everyday life to
improve its well-being and safety aspects. A creative theory is applicable during the smart home
9

applications which provide next generation care for people by enabling their families to remotely
monitor the current activities of devices.
By using Hall’s concern based adoption model or innovation theory that mainly
applicable in “Smart Home” Innovation. It provide the better sustainability to consider as modern
approach to implementing the subsequent changes. Innovation in technology should be used to
enhance individual lives and develop as human potentially. Their purpose is to support individual
lifestyles of people through smart home devices such as energy management, monitoring and
security, detecting incidents. Through innovation model, it will be changing the process of
different event while adopting the “SMART HOME”.
Despite this wide range of potential and assume benefit, if focus only on technologies
feature, it can disappear before they are incorporated into lives (Mashal and Shuhaiber, 2019).
An innovation of smart home that needs to be handled by home owners where they can fulfil all
essential requirement through efficient resources. At certain level, creativity theory or
implementation of technology will help to identify the errors within home based devices,
considering general issue to resolve them in proper manner. This type of process will able to
handle any kind of critical technical designing issue.
There are many type of discussion surrounding smart home focus on advantage, benefits that
can be realised by people living in them. But a truly smart, connected with home- as
independently respond and assess to real time need or requirement such as heating, power, water
and other essential resources. These are helping to promote the sustainable in future. By using
Smart Home, it can be avoid serious damage or any kind of issue resolved with creativity or
innovative. At that time, it applicable as creativity theory which is always supports for enhancing
entire performance of smart home devices. in case, if using smart home devices so that they are
establishing a interconnection between each other (Bibri and Krogstie, 2019). That’s why, it
become easier for managing and controlling the communication in context of signals.
Sometimes, it may arise the problem regarding the sensor and smart device is not properly
10

detecting the signals. So as implementing as creativity for innovation to measure the specific
activities. in order to identify the suitable result or outcome.
CONCLUSION
From the above it had been concluded that Smart Home introduced as smart home
alternative as through it one can turn off lights, WI-Fi enabled door locks, wireless cameras and
water sensors can also detect unwanted water and many more. Report also focused on smart
home different innovative applications in order to enhance individual lives and also for their
development in life
