What Is Home Automation?

Home automation, often called smart home technology, refers to the integration and control of various systems and devices within your home through a centralized platform. These systems may include lighting, climate control, security, entertainment, and more. By connecting devices to your smartphone, tablet, or voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, home automation allows you to monitor and control your environment with ease, from anywhere in the world.
