A smart home is a has an automation system and has its devices

interconnected through the internet gives you on-demand access to

control your lighting, home security, etc. Following are my ideas of an
ideal smart home-

1. Automated ventilation, heating and air conditioning-

Smart technology that can optimize heating and cooling of your
home to conserve energy. It can adjust to your family’s routine, and
on that basis adapt its settings to your lifestyle and preference.

2. Smart lighting-
Smart bulbs that can be switched on or off, dimmed and brightened
with the help of a virtual assistant like Alexa add to the overall
experience of a smart home. One can schedule them to turn on at
any time and dim them at will, or set them in a way that they will
turn off when you leave the room or house.

3. Intercom system-
You can use this smart intercom system to connect various rooms in
your house to make communication during emergencies and
otherwise easier. It can also be used to video chat to someone
outside the front door, thus improving security as well.

4. Security system- The top component for every smart home is

the security system. A security system is there to protect you and
raise the alarm in a big emergency like a fire or a break-in. It can
show you who's at your front door, and let you talk to
them, through a video doorbell. It can also let you know if a
window is open or door is left ajar or if you have a water leak in
the basement.
