It works through your home Wi-Fi network, which allows a variety of devices to communicate with each other through the internet.

You can start with a smart speaker, some of which you can pick up for under $100 to see if voice control is something you enjoy. From there, you can start installing more devices, such as lights and plugs to automate of your daily tasks. It might cost around $1,000 to install speakers, lights, plugs in multiple rooms \u2013 and up to $5,000 if you want to go all out!

A smart home refers to a house which uses smart device products connected to the internet to help with everyday tasks. However, it hasn\u2019t been set up to run tasks automatically, it just gives you better control over certain functions. Home automation is when you use your smart devices to make certain tasks happen automatically throughout the day \u2013 like the heater turning on and off at specific times or ensuring all the lights are off by 11pm.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":43565,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"page-templates\/service.php","class_list":["post-42183","services","type-services","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.geeks2u.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services\/42183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.geeks2u.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.geeks2u.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/services"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.geeks2u.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.geeks2u.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
