The benefits are:

                      Power Saver: Smart Homes are great at saving power. Often it is found that people are lazy in
                     turning off lights, which increases the consumption of power. These types of homes allow their
                     users to turn off the lights and electronic gadgets even when they are off to bed.
                      Increased Energy Efficiency: The Smart Home technology makes it possible to make the home
                     energy-efficient. The control of heating and cooling of home with a programmable thermostat
                     learns the user’s preferences and then suggests the best energy efficient settings throughout the
                     day. Even the lights could be programmed to automatically switch to an evening mode as the sun
                     sets or automatically turn off when no one is at home.

                      Protect Home and its Belongings: The home is protected from intruders with AI systems. Once
                     they are configured, the door/window and motion sensors notify the owner when someone tries
                     to break in their house, when no one is at home. There are wireless doorbells and intelligent locks
                     that provide an additional level of security to live with mental peace.

                      Interactive Home: The AI enabled appliances are controlled through voice or smartphones. Some
                     appliances even support gestures by sensing the motion like hand gestures or tap recognition like
                     a knock.
                      One  Point  Access:  All  the  devices  are  accessed  from  one  point,  that  is  one  of  the  biggest
                     advantages of a Smart Home. Gadgets are connected through one interface and are completely
                     controlled  by  the  app  on  tablets  or  smartphones.  These  apps  are  user  friendly  and  easy  to
                     access.

                      Flexibility: Smart  Home  systems  are  flexible  to  accommodate  new  devices, appliances  and
                     technology with the existing one. They also provide space for the complete replacement of old
                     devices with new ones. The user gets the advantage of upgrading to the latest lifestyle.

                      Remote Control: A very powerful and popular use of Smart Home is the power of controlling the
                     house remotely. Imagine the owner is at a shopping centre and is concerned about getting home
                     late for dinner. But if he has a Smart Home, he would just use his cell phone to switch on the
                     microwave to preheat the dinner. He can also switch on AC before entering the house to make it
                     cool on a scorching summer day. The user could even check if the lights are off or someone is at
                     the door.

                      Climate Control: AI enabled smart devices now take the comfort of their users to the next level.
                     The ambient temperature across corners can be tracked easily and the central cooling unit can be
                     commanded to facilitate optimum cooling. If the windows or doors are kept open for a long time,
                     the user may program the cooling systems to switch off automatically.
                      Protection: The Smart Home provides instant alerts on the smartphone in the event of a fire, flood
                     or any other disaster. The central automation system can also be configured to take preventive
                     measures. This can be like triggering an alarm and automatically disabling the locks for a quick
                     evacuation.
