Smart home- A smart house, is a home that
incorporates advanced automation systems to provide the inhabitants with
sophisticated monitoring and control over the building's functions. For
example a smart home may control lighting, temperature, multi-media,
security, window and door operations, as well as many other functions. Generally the consumer doesn’t know which
electrical equipment in his/her house consuming how much energy and how to
