With technology seeping into every aspect of our lives, it is only natural that we welcome it into our homes as well.
A Smart home is one which is equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) technology devices that can communicate with each other, and be controlled through a common communication network such as WiFi. Popular examples of such IoT home devices are Amazon’s Alexa-controlled Echo speaker which can be voice-controlled, the Nest Thermostat -which can be used to regulate temperature remotely through smartphones and tablets - and smart refrigerators, that can inform users when they are low on supplies.
