WHAT IS A SMART HOME?

Before we understand what smart homes are, let's first explain the concept of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things (IOT) is a technology that enables the objects we use in our daily lives to access the Internet and communicate with other devices. The Internet of Things allows us to connect many of the things we use to the Internet, exchange data, and communicate with them. Thanks to this technological evolution, smart homes are intelligent home installations that allow remote management and monitoring of home heating, security, lighting, and appliances through a device such as a phone or tablet. Smart home systems provide the ability to remotely manage the home from wherever the homeowner is. Smart homes that can be controlled remotely through applications installed on devices such as cell phones and tablets make our daily lives easier and more convenient.


WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF SMART HOMES? 

Monitoring and Surveillance: It is the ability to control and monitor the current situation wherever the homeowner is, even if they are in a remote location. For example, checking if the lights are still on in the house.

Remote Access: It refers to the ability to intervene in any situation when we are away from home. For example, being able to turn off the air conditioner with a one-button remote control.

Smart Automation: It is the activation of certain processes without interacting with the user interface. For example; the oven, which is requested to work at a certain time, starts working when the time comes.
