Smart Home Automation refers to the use of a raft of networked devices to automate a huge variety of tasks around the home. It makes for a more convenient lifestyle as it allows you to get things done even when you're not at home. For example, smart vacuum cleaners can find their way around your home's floor even when you're at the office or running your errands. 

 

Smart home automation technology has gone a long way since it was first introduced in the UK market. These days, automating a simple task like turning the lights as you arrive home, or a more complicated task like powering up your central heating system, is all possible. 

 

The key to a functioning smart home is ensuring that all your smart gadgets and appliances at home are able to effectively communicate. This can be done in a lot of ways but the most convenient is through your Wi-Fi network. 

 

When many smart tech devices are connected and communicate over the web, it is known as the internet of things (IoT), which has many applications that can make your life more convenient. For instance, you could connect your fridge to your online grocery account so it populates your next order for you based on what you have consumed. You can also connect your smart TV so it automatically installs a software update.
