A Comprehensive Review of Technologies, Services, and Intelligent Approaches for Smart Home Automation

Home automation has been developing for many years, and researchers have made significant progress in this area. Smart homes offer a safe, comfortable, and effective way of life. In this study, We’ve compiled a detailed comparison of the six main technological approaches, four of the most widely used microcontrollers, and eight distinct types of sensors that researchers employ in their work, along with information on their popularity and research trends. In addition to these, this study has included a thorough examination and analysis of the networking technologies used, as well as a number of services like energy management, secu-rity systems, health management, comfortable and convenient systems, and entertainment systems. In addition, a thorough analysis of the data gathered from the different articles is presented in the discussion section, demonstrating how the increased functionality resulting from the use of multiple approaches is driving the popularity of multiple approach based home automation.
