If you have any lingering doubts about the golden age of technology, you can look at the various advantages of using advanced technologies. During the past few years, the popularity of mobile phones for communication has risen. In the future smart home, devices will make life easier and more enjoyable. Knowing about the advantages of IoT in smart home automation is important to bring about lifestyle changes. 

1. CONTROL AND MONITORING FROM A SINGLE INTERFACE 

Smart home technology allows you to manage all your devices that work autonomously from a single interface. All you need is a mobile app. When it comes to making home management easier, home automation is the best choice.  

2. FLEXIBILITY 

If you want to add additional devices and appliances, smart home solutions are flexible enough to allow you to do so. We all know that today technology is advancing at a rapid pace and even the state-of-the-art appliances are likely to become obsolete tomorrow but with a flexible home automation system, you can easily add and integrate the latest smart home devices.  

3. SECURITY 

When you leave your house, you can lock your house and turn off the lights with just a single tap on your phone. Moreover, you can even turn on the CCTV cameras that monitor your house. Even if you forget, you can do it while you are driving or after reaching your office. 

4. COMFORT 

IoT smart home automation systems require the use of intelligent algorithms that provide household devices with a certain level of autonomy and situational decision-making capabilities. 

For eg, a smart fridge can reorder groceries online and window blinders can adjust the daylight entering the room to make residents feel comfortable.  

HOW SMART HOME AUTOMATION WORKS? 

Smart home automation solutions work through a network of devices that connect to the internet through various communication protocols like Wi-fi, Bluetooth or ZigBee. Through these interfaces, devices can be managed remotely via controllers such as voice assistants like Alexa or Google assistant or through an app. Majority of IoT devices have sensors that can detect changes in motion, temperature and light which enable users to gain insights into the environment where the device is located. To make changes, to the device, the user needs to activate actuators which are the physical mechanisms like smart switches, motorized valves or motors that enable devices to be control remotely. 

In short smart home solutions like Alexa home automation works on three levels. 

1. MONITORING: Monitoring means that users can check all their devices remotely from an app. For eg, a user can monitor their house with a smart security camera/ 

2. CONTROL: Control means that users can control the smart home devices remotely. For eg, a security camera can be moved to view more than one area/ 

3. AUTOMATION: Automation means that devices can be set to trigger each other. For eg, a smart siren will raise an alarm every time an armed security camera detects motion.
