                 SMART HOMES

                 Home  is  a place  where people  live to  feel safe,
                 cared and appreciated.  Smart Homes  enhance
                 this experience and provide a better life for the
                 people living in them.

                 Smart  Homes are homes  that  use  Internet
                 connected devices to empower remote monitoring
                 and management of appliances and devices such
                 as light and heating.


                 Benefits of Smart Homes

                 Smart Homes provide insights into efficient energy usage. They also enhance people’s level of
                 safety. 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: Smart Home technology makes it possible to make the home
                   energy-efficient. The control of heating and cooling of the 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 the 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 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 smart phones.
                   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, which is one of the biggest
                   advantages of a Smart Home. Gadgets are connected through one interface and are completely
                   controlled by an app on tablets or smartphones. These apps are user friendly and easy to
                   access.
