Homeowners can monitor and adjust the automated features of their residence using a home automation system. This system typically includes a central control hub, such as a smartphone app, smart speaker, or dedicated controller, which allows users to remotely check the status of devices (monitoring), manually control them (control), and create automated routines (automation) for things like lighting, thermostats, security cameras, smart locks, and more. In summary, home automation systems provide the capability for monitoring device status, remotely controlling devices, and adjusting automated settings within a residence.
