A smart home is an automated and connected home. Multiple functional features of the residence -- lights, heat, door locks, etc. -- can operate on their own, in concert with each other, or under the control of a central hub or mobile command program or app. There's even a special name for today's growing ecosystem of smart home systems and the science behind it all: domotics.
The smart home concept has been evolving since the 1960s, but the pace of change has accelerated considerably since the advent of home wi-fi and other near-field communication formats. Today's smart home capabilities and techniques vary widely:
Today, nearly every smart home feature that formerly required a hard-wired connection can also be controlled wirelessly, allowing homeowners to assemble a broad array of smart home capabilities as needed. A list of the many categories of individual smart home devices appears later in this FAQ.
Smart home technologies have traditionally been the domain of tech and gadget enthusiasts, thanks in part to their many complex communication and command protocols. Integrating devices from various manufacturers can be difficult. Plus, different brands of smart home products often have different set-up and operating procedures, leaving you with multiple control keypads spread throughout the home.
Fortunately, things have gotten easier with the emergence of virtual assistant powered smart speakers such as the Lenovo Smart Assistant and smart displays such as the Lenovo Smart Display. Now, the same software (Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, etc.) that runs these increasingly popular speakers and displays -- not to mention smartphones -- can also integrate with and help you control your smart home gadgets.
An increasing number of residential and office settings include smart home technologies, often several different ones operating at once. The list grows regularly as manufacturers release a succession of new devices to help us control and automate our daily environments and activities.
Here are some of the most popular smart home device and technology categories:
The list could go on and on. New smart home features and capabilities emerge regularly, and respected analysts have predicted the smart home marketplace will grow to more than $50 billion in annual sales by 2022 or before.
