Smart home automation achieved a huge popularity since the last few years as they improve the quality as well as comfort of life. However, most smart home technologies are basically controlled by microcontrollers and Smartphone. A Smartphone application is utilized to monitor and control various home functions with the use of wireless communication technologies. The smart home automation system can be explore by integrating cloud computing and Internet of Things services to it, by embedding smart intelligence into actuators and sensors. In addition, a smart home is a special residence which uses internet-connected devices to allow the remote monitoring as well as systems and appliances management such as heating and lighting. In other words, a smart home automation is a major technological service which enables automating the huge number of electrical, electronic and technology-enabled tasks within the home.

Some of the processes in the home automation system implementation, designing, and maintenance may comprise:

• Computer control installation for air conditioning, heating, and ventilation systems
• Network/Internet/remote access to all installed equipment and components
• Management capabilities and central control over electronic appliances and electrical fixtures
• Installation as well as maintenance of network-based physical security systems and surveillance camera systems.

Devices in the home automation system communicate and connect with each other with the help of confined wired and wireless networking technologies. Moreover, the overall home automation system basically needs temperature and motion sensors, system management software, appliance or device installation and many other components.

How does smart home automation system work?

It is hard to describe the actual working of smart home automation process as there is not one commonly accepted protocol. In addition, the technology used in the smart home automation can varies from company, country, as well as automation type. Owing to the home automation market is fast-paced and extremely competitive; organizations will withhold several new advancement. However, X10 was the first industry standard for the smart home automation. This industry standard helps devices to connect each other basically with the help of radio frequency, power line wiring, as well as wireless-based protocols. In the recent years, Z-Wave, Insteon, and Zigbee are also top protocols used for smart home automation. Thus, such new industry standards rely majorly on innovative wireless technologies such as mesh-networking. All such systems are highly complicated.

Central Control: This is one of the major home automation systems which control everything in home. Central control enables user, from a single source to control thermostat, phone, lights, dryer, washer, and sprinklers. In addition, this type of smart home automation is highly popular with growing private residences as well as businesses.

App Based: It is the most popular technologies used in smart home automation which uses your home network to connect to the Cloud. However, cloud technology is one of the significant parts of the Internet of Things and these both technologies have grown heavily popular since the past few decades. Moreover, many app based smart devices works by communicating home automation servers through the Wi-Fi. Such devices connect to the server which user can access through apps on the smart devices.

Technologies used in the smart home automation systems

With the growing automated products and technological developments, consumer have become highly selective and demanding regarding their requirements. However, fans, lights, refrigerators, air-conditioners, or any remote control devices, this system makes use of such products more conveniently.

Some of the majorly used technologies in smart home automation as follows:

• Wi-Fi

Nowadays, many companies are designing smart home appliances which can works with existed Wi-Fi networks in your home. Likewise, it is one of the major protocols that falls under the smart home automation. This is a power-hungry technology which operates fast as compared to other protocols.

• Bluetooth

This is another important protocol that is used for smart home automation. Thus, consumers have been adopting it for short-distance connection as well as file transfer.

• Radiofrequency

This is one of the oldest protocols that are used for smart home automation system. Smart home gadgets can be controlled with the help of this protocol by using transmitter as well as a receiver.

Recent Inventions in Smart Home Technology

Smart home automation technology can be varied from region to region, but advancements in industry standards have allowed manufacturers to concentrate their efforts in enhancing the connectivity by using mesh networking. In addition to this, Alexa, Google, Apple, Belkin Wink, Amazon, Honeywell and Logitech are some of the leading players operating in the smart home automation market across the globe. One of the recent advancements in the smart home automation technology, WooHoo is one of the major hubs for controlling entire IoT devices in the home. Moreover, this wifi-based devices uses a 3600 camera to basically detect household member is speaking by the use of facial recognition and voice recognition software to learn the preferences and commands to every member.

Future of the Smart Home Automation System

The smart home automation system is a rapidly developing technology in which organizations are still working on making the system more affordable and effective for major users. In addition, the latest smart home automation devices not only make use of wifi but also use artificial intelligence to learn and collect regarding the user as well as preferences. On the other hand, the smart home technology which controlled the power of voice control by using your television, smartphone, as well as car is becoming more popular; organizations which prioritize devices which could flawlessly combine with smart home systems and applications will see a huge increase in market across the world. Additionally, devices sharing house owners’ data along with businesses will be the major thing in the coming future.
