Smart homes not only perform the basic functions such as turning off lights, dimming lights, and closing curtains but are also capable of performing complex functions such as automatically lighting up exit routes in the event of a fire alarm. Connectivity has emerged as a high-end novelty across a wide range of home devices, including security cameras, utility meters, and thermostats. In the coming years, connectivity is likely to become a more pervasive trend to the extent of being an embedded standard in every household device and equipment virtually.
