Smart homes allow homeowners to control and monitor their home remotely using smartphones, tablets, or computers. A smart home contains a communications network that connects devices in the home like voice assistants, security cameras, lighting, and appliances. Popular smart home devices include voice assistants that can live in phones, tablets, or connected speakers and help users control other smart devices in their home for convenience and security even when away from the home. Broadband internet has enabled easier and more reliable connectivity between smart home devices.
