                                Brainy Fact



                     The most common  Smart  Home  devices include  appliances,  camera systems,
                     thermostats, security systems and lighting.





                  Benefits of Smart Homes
                  Smart Homes provide insights to 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 and water. 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 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, 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.
