There are plenty of things you can do just with the tip of your finger, and smartphone of course. Like ordering a pizza, booking a hotel for holidays, buying things from Amazon, you name it. So the question is, what if you can connect, all devices in your home, on the internet and operate them on your smartphone? Oven sends you a message that your pizza is ready? Forgot to turn off the lights? No problem, a click away. Running to catch the bus, but the dog is hungry? No worries, pet feeder is on the web as well.  You probably saw something similar in futuristic movies, but this is not at all a science fiction, this is real and modern technology, and it will become a standard home appliance, no different than a vacuum cleaner or a TV.  So what is Smart Home Technology?

Smart Home technology

Smart Home technology or Home automation, and often referred to as IoT or Internet of things, Is a way of controlling home appliances, electronic devices, lighting, heating, etc. remotely, via computer, other devices, or more common nowadays, smartphone. And it is exactly what it sounds like, you can control any device, from anywhere, by pushing the button or by voice command. Control depends on how many devices you have, what kind of control do you want, and how much money are you willing to spend on automation.
