Smart Homes
A smart home is a residence that uses internet-connected devices to enable the remote monitoring and management of appliances and systems, such as lighting and heating.
​
Smart home technology, also often referred to as home automation or domotics (from the Latin "domus" meaning home), provides homeowners security, comfort, convenience and energy efficiency by allowing them to control smart devices, often by a smart home app on their smartphone or other networked device. A part of the internet of things (IoT), smart home systems and devices often operate together, sharing consumer usage data among themselves and automating actions based on the homeowners' preferences.
Smart Homes for School Students
On top of keeping kids safe and keeping them entertained, smart home technology helps children to learn. As children get older, it’s easy to get distracted from important homework tasks, for instance, by procrastinating on the internet and chatting with friends via social media networks. Cool, smart connectors, like Circle, help parents monitor internet activity at all times around the house. By installing an app onto just one device, mom and dad can cut off internet use at certain times of the day and keep tabs on what the youngsters are looking at and engaging in online.
​
When treated with respect and carefully monitored, smart technology can be super kid friendly and benefit children in so many ways. In particular, it’s a chance for them to enjoy themselves, to keep out of danger, and to learn. Smart home technology, when used right, is fun, safe, and educational.
