Intelligent household systems
Smart home technology refers to internet-connected devices and systems that automate or remotely control household functions—lighting, temperature, security, appliances.
A smart thermostat learns your schedule; smart locks let you unlock doors from your phone.
The appeal is convenience and energy efficiency, though critics note privacy concerns and the creeping dependence on apps for basic tasks like turning on lights.
