In the past few years, the technology has progressed by leaps and bounds. The technology has totally 
changed our lives. The days are gone when there was much physical activity but less productivity. Today is the era of click. Now a click does the whole job. Thus a single finger has to be used and the work comes done. So, one can well imagine the technological progress.
This technological advancement has lead to the idea of creating Smart Homes. It’s all about automating homes. A Smart Home is a new home or a building, equipped with special structure wiring that enables the occupants to remotely control or program an array of automated home electronic devices by entering a single command. In simple and short words, a smart home can be controlled through signals.
A smart home is specially designed to reduce many of the routine activities, and optimize energy consumption with added comfort.
Let’s see how actually the smart home can add comfort, security to our life and moreover, optimize the energy consumption. For instance, in the common corridors of the smart homes the motion and temperature sensors are installed. Now the question arises what these sensors actually do. These sensors keep a check on light and ensure that most lights shut down when nobody is in the corridor. Thus in a way there is an automatic check on consumption of lights.
There is one best example to describe the remote operation on home. Suppose we are 20 minutes away from home, and we want to activate the home AC. We can activate it in case of a smart home. This is all done by the signaling system of the smart homes.
One more technology has been developed for the residents of smart home by which the user can remotely activate lights or microwave ovens in their home. Thus the homes have been automated. As a whole, home network includes communications, entertainment, security, convenience and information systems.
Smart home is the dream of every person. It’s the imagining power of the man that the dreams have come true. Everybody dreamt to have a Khul Ja Sim Sim Door as in alibabas case, but now it’s actually true in case of smart homes where gates are opened by a remote control.
Sooner or later, Smart homes will become the need of every person. And it’s going to mark a beginning of a new standard of living in India.
