Home automation involves controlling household appliances and systems automatically via networked devices. It uses sensors, controllers, and actuators linked to a central hub or mobile app. This allows users to remotely monitor and manage lighting, security, climate, and entertainment, enhancing convenience and efficiency.

• Sensors: Detect environmental changes (motion, temperature, light)
• Actuators: Control physical devices (lights, locks, thermostats)
• Controllers/Hubs: Central processing units that manage communication
• Network (Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave): Enables device connectivity
• User Interface (App, Voice Assistants): Allows for control and monitoring

• Increased energy efficiency and reduced utility bills
• Enhanced security and remote monitoring capabilities
• Improved convenience and comfort through automated tasks
• Greater accessibility for individuals with mobility limitations
• Personalized settings and customization for individual needs
