Home Automation

What is Home Automation and How Does it Work?

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.
