Home Automation is a set of techniques that are implemented and deployed
within the building in order to provide comfort and security for the residents
of that building. The main goal of applying home automation techniques
is to enable residents to perform normal daily tasks in a simpler manner.
This forces many technologies to be integrated together to achieve the
required functionality. An example to that integration is controlling the
status of the device using the cell phone. This publication provides evaluation
of the different Home Automation technologies, a complete analysis for
each technology, and finally the market analysis for the technology.
