You’ll receive a text that tells you what triggered the alarm (e.g. There’s no need for a loud alarm that annoy your neighbors. Only then will you be notified when there is motion.
No security keypads or loud alarms – Today’s smart home can be programmed to automatically arm itself after every family member has left. In case you are wondering, batteries last about a year. They even report their battery level to the smart hub, so you’ll know when it is time to purchase a new battery. These smart devices are battery-powered, so they don’t need an AC adapter, or connection to wall power. If you decide to move it later, you can do so without leaving any holes in your wall. To add a motion sensor, you just stick it to the wall using adhesive tape. Easy to install – The first smart home devices were connected using wires. In the future, the SmartThings hub is supposed to work with the Thread home automation protocol, which Google and others are using, as well as Bluetooth, which Apple’s HomeKit uses. Although SmartThings is a Samsung product, it works with iPhone as well. In fact, over 1,000 different products work with SmartThings today, so you won’t hard a hard time finding compatible products. Interoperability – Smart hubs like Samsung’s Smart Things work with Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Z-Wave and cloud-connected products like Amazon’s Echo. Finally, some of these new protocols don’t use the same frequencies as Wi-Fi products, so they are much less susceptible to wireless interference. Second, they communicate over a mesh network, so any smart device can talk to any other smart device. Products like light switches and outlets act as signal repeaters, so they extend the range of your network. First, they don’t communicate over power lines, so they are much more reliable. 
These newer smart home protocols have many advantages over the earlier home automation protocols like X-10.
Better reliability – Many smart devices are now controlled using ZigBee or Z-Wave. Voice-activated controllers are easy to use because they respond to natural language commands like “Alexa, turn off the family room light.” Voice-activated – Smart controllers like Amazon’s Echo control thermostats, light bulbs and smart hubs using your voice. Here’s why I believe the smart home is now ready for prime time: Fortunately the connected home has come a long way since then. It was cool when it worked, but it was far from reliable. Back then many smart devices were controlled using the X-10 protocol, which communicated over power lines. 
Almost 15 years ago I attempted to convert our house into a smart home.
