Such systems record more than just incidents; they can distinguish between a family member and a stranger, thus decreasing false alarms. With the introduction of edge AI in 2024, both speed and privacy increased as information was processed locally rather than in the cloud. For example, doorbell cameras instantly recognize faces and alert you if an unknown person is standing at your door. This makes the house environment safer and more private as it reduces reliance on external servers.

6. Energy Efficiency Using Smart Grids and Eco-Friendly Devices

As awareness to the environment grows, energy efficiency now forms a major component of smart home technology. The use of a *smart grid* is most common within most homes for better electrical usage, communicating locally with utility providers, and shows information for detecting peak hours and automatically adjusts power usage for reduced cost and consumption of power. Even the use of solar panels now becomes smart as a user is able to track how much power they are generating and using through live representations, thus making them more independent in terms of energy usage. In 2024, *smart eco-devices* such as low-energy washing machines, dishwashers, and eco-mode settings become more popular to help the consumer significantly reduce their carbon footprint.

 7. Home Robotics: Help at Every Step
