Smart appliances help make tedious everyday routines easier and more effective for users. It is important to understand what makes a household’s piece of equipment smart. First of all, users can take control of smart appliances remotely. Users can schedule or check the status of their smart appliances through a smartphone app. For example, a smart washer or dryer allows the user to monitor the time left to finish washing without the need to walk over and check periodically.
A Home Area Network is a local network in a house, which is responsible for the communication of smart home devices/appliances. For example Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or ZigBee. A home area network can allow better performance of smart appliances in a house. Such a network combines the different smart devices and allows a customer to operate them remotely and observe their status using a smartphone.
