Smart Homes have emerged from the fictional world of science fiction and are very much alive and working in the neighbourhoods of Townsville. Smart Home control and automation systems allow the user to monitor and control lights, fans, air conditioning, security, and audio-visual all from their smartphone, tablet, or integrated touchscreen. This not only optimises energy efficiency and reduces unnecessary use; but is supremely convenient. Imagine setting your Smart Home to automatically turn on your favourite settings (such as kitchen light, bedroom light and bedroom air-conditioner) as soon as it senses your car driving into your garage. Or opening your front door for a visitor without leaving your home office. The applications for Smart Home automation are extremely broad and programming is completely customisable.
