The technology essential for enabling smart homes is the Internet of Things (IoT) combined with home automation systems. Smart home devices, such as smart thermostats, lights, and security cameras, connect to the internet, allowing users to control them remotely via smartphones or voice-activated assistants. These devices work through sensors and automation protocols, enhancing convenience, energy efficiency, and security in residential environments. The integration of IoT enables seamless communication between devices, resulting in a more user-friendly and interconnected home ecosystem.
