What is Smart Home Technology?
Intelligent home system technology is about using devices connected through the internet to monitor and control different things within your house. These gadgets are comprised of such things as intelligent light bulbs, thermostats, security cameras etc.; they also have locks on them that can only be opened by specific people’s voice commands or fingerprint recognition technology. Thus, with this technology in place, one can be able to control everything at his/her place while anywhere else, for instance, through their mobile phone (smartphone), tablet or voice command, which makes doing tasks easier every day as well as saves energy, making it eco-friendly apart from beefing up security within dwellings.
