There are many sensors which can be used in our home automation system. A few of them are as follows:

Temperature sensors: They directly sense temperature and adjust our home temperature for us. They are also used in several appliances where they can automatically switch it off when it reaches a certain temperature.

Lux sensors: They measure the intensity of the lights and adjust it accordingly. For example, if we are watching any horror movie, then it senses and it dims the light to give us a theatre like movie experience. We can control it manually from our connected devices as well.

Sound detection sensor: They are very helpful in monitoring babies and switching the lights on or off for them. It can also automatically recognize the voices of the householders and open the gates for them.

There are also sensors which can open the blinds and windows during sunrise and shut them at sunset. Sensors can switch on our coffee machine and switch to our favourite news channel in the morning.

The commonly used programming languages in the development of automated homes are Python, C, JavaScript, Shell, etc.

Development of ancient homes to automated homes using IoT is making our lives much easier and comfortable. It is also converting our house to a smart home. It appears to be a very useful advancement in technology and is expected to grow in the near future. Though it is expensive, but it is also helping us in saving energies in different forms.
