A house with a mind: the past, present and future of smart home technology

Abstract

Smart home technologies are becoming more and more accessible to a wide number of consumers and are becoming the norm of comfortable housing. Modern smart homes allow you to control various functions and devices using a smartphone, tablet, remote control or voice assistant, for example. Each system is configured individually for the needs of the owner. In addition to the fact that such systems improve the lives of owners, they increase the level of security, reduce bills, reduce electricity and heating costs, free up time for caring for loved ones, recreation, sports and work.
