A smart home is a new home. Home automation systems are on the rise in India as a result of internet connectivity and consumer demand. With the collection of applications that work together to form a “connected home,” the smart home can balance the needs of comfort, energy savings, safety, and simplify life. The devices in the smart home communicate with one another via the internet and can be managed remotely with the help of smartphones or voice assistants.

1. Smart Speakers: Intelligent voice assistants have not only introduced significant innovations in terms of user solutions but have also helped to solidify the concept of the smart home, driving the sales of various smart home objects. Google and Amazon are the leading players in the section of smart speakers. They enable the user to interact with their home solely through their voice. Thanks to this type of interaction, the user has the ability to manage multiple objects and services in an integrated way, without having to use different applications for each device from lights to security cameras. 
2. Smart Lights: In this new age of home automation, smart lights are the new way of life. These bulbs are wirelessly linked to a smartphone and can be operated remotely. The benefits of smart lights include their ability to provide various light options, timer settings, and adjustments of intensities while using very little power.
3. Smart home and security: The security of one’s home is always given top priority, and now it is more reliable with smart devices such as keyless locks that are operated with the help of smartphones, biometrics or even Bluetooth. The latest invention allows one to unlock homes remotely for someone else you know. 
4. Smart Kitchen: Connected cooking is the new wave in home automation inventions. From coffee makers to smart refrigerators, these appliances are internet-connected, have a touch screen, and do more than their intended function.

Smart home devices are not just smart because they are internet-connected; they are smart because they are innovative, helpful, and use technology to improve our lives. At the same time, it must be noted that not every home can do justice when turned into a smart home. Optimum results can be expected when the home is spacious, has good air circulation, and has a decent interior design in order to encompass maximum light. The luxurious 2 &3 BHK apartments of Aparna Zenon are such homes that are well-suited to be the smart homes of the coming age.
