Smart home technology is the technology used to make all electronic devices around a house act "smart" or more automated. Nearly all major appliances in the future will take advantage of this technology through home networks and the Internet.

Smart home technology is a way for ordinary electronics and appliances to communicate with each other, consumers, and even manufacturers. Many consider a smart home to be one that is networked. Others feel it is a home that has appliances that will allow the consumer to do little to no work, but a smart home really is all of that combined, and more.

Not only will all consumer products be networked, but they will also make life easier on people. Smart home technology is currently being developed and implemented for all rooms in the house, in particular the kitchen and the living room.
