A single device or app that acts as the main brain for your home. It lets you control all your different gadgets from one place.

The Central Hub

Small tools that act as the home's eyes and ears. They notice things like movement, room temperature, or if a window is open.

Smart Sensors

Using tools like Alexa or Siri to run your home with verbal commands. You can tell your house to dim the lights or play music without touching a button.

Voice Control Assistants

Light bulbs that you can dim or change color using an app. You can set them to turn on automatically when you wake up or arrive home.

Smart Lighting Systems

Thermostats that learn your favorite temperatures to keep you comfortable. They save money by lowering the heat or AC when they sense no one is home.

Smart Climate Control

Cameras and doorbells that send live video to your phone. You can see who is at the door or check on your pets from anywhere in the world.

Connected Home Security

Setting up 'if this, then that' rules for your house. For example, your coffee can start brewing the moment your morning alarm goes off.

Automated Home Routines

The ability for gadgets from different brands to talk to each other. This ensures your smart lock can tell your hallway lights to turn on when you enter.

Device Working Together

Protecting your smart home from hackers by using strong passwords. It also involves regularly updating the software on your devices to fix safety gaps.

Staying Digitally Secure

Small adapters that turn any standard wall outlet into a smart one. They allow you to control 'dumb' items like old fans or lamps with your phone.

Smart Power Plugs

A feature that uses your phone's GPS to know when you are nearby. Your house can automatically unlock the front door or turn on the porch light as you pull into the driveway.

Location Based Triggers

Understanding how your smart devices collect details about your daily habits. It is important to manage these settings to control who sees your personal information.
