Home Automation

Also known as: Domotics, Smart Home Automation

The use of technology to automatically control household systems and appliances such as lighting, heating, ventilation, security, and entertainment. Home automation systems use sensors, timers, and programmable rules to operate devices without manual intervention. For people with disabilities, home automation can be transformative, enabling independent control of the living environment through voice commands, switches, or scheduled routines rather than physical manipulation.
