A home automation system is a technology that allows homeowners to control various devices and appliances in their homes remotely. This can include lighting, heating, security systems, and even appliances like refrigerators and washing machines. By using a smartphone, tablet, or computer, users can manage these devices from anywhere, enhancing convenience and energy efficiency. These systems often use Internet of Things (IoT) technology, enabling devices to communicate with each other and the internet. Home automation can also include features like automated schedules, voice control through smart speakers, and integration with smart home platforms for a seamless user experience.
