Smart Home: Technologies and Development Prospects

The article presents a systematic review of the current state and prospects for the development of smart home technologies. The key components of the smart home architecture are considered, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), wireless communication protocols and automation systems. The historical stages of the concept's evolution are analyzed, starting from the first automation systems of the 1960s to modern intelligent ecosystems. Special attention is paid to functional characteristics (energy efficiency, security, comfort, accessibility), as well as challenges related to cybersecurity, device compatibility, and personal data protection. Based on the analysis of scientific literature and market trends, the directions of further development are formulated, including integration with the "smart city", personalized medicine and sustainable construction.
