Smart home: Refers to home automation devices that have internet access such as voice recognition (smart speakers), lighting, keyless door entry, security cameras, sensors (for temperature, motion, water, etc.), on/off switches, thermostats, streaming devices, smoke detectors, robotic vacuum cleaners, etc; home automation is a broader category that includes any device that can be monitored or controlled via wireless radio signals, not just those having internet access. [e]- Matter (standard): An emerging standard for communications among smart home, or IoT, devices that promises to make smart devices work with each other regardless of which company manufactures them, that smart home devices will continue to be usable on your home network even when no connection to the internet is available, and that communications with smart home devices are secure.
