SMART HOME

A Smart Home is one that
provides its home owners
comfort, security, energy
efficiency (low operating
costs) and convenience at
all times, regardless of
whether anyone is home.

FEATURES OF SMART HOMES

– Optimized climate and light controls
– Item tracking and automated ordering for food
and general use items
– Automated alarm schedules to match inhabitants’
preferences
– Control of media systems

OBJECTIVES OF SMART HOMES

• Improve Inhabitant experience:
– Optimize inhabitant productivity
– Minimize operating costs
– Improve comfort
– Simplify use of technologies
– Ensure security
– Enhance accessibility

SMART HOME APPLIANCES FOR
PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED INDIVIDUALS

With the implementation of
smart home appliances, such as
an effective security system,
those with physical challenges are
often able to live on their own.
