To some degree, the vast majority of residential homes and businesses in the United States and Europe possess some type of algorithmic or interactive technology that would be considered “smart” by today’s standards. The market is flooded with dozens of systems, devices, and other electronics that perform specific tasks aimed at making our lives and daily routines more seamless, convenient, and easier for us to multitask. As we all know, the home is one particular place that’s been transformed by these innovative technologies, to the point where one’s residence can be monitored and controlled with the touch of a button or tap or a screen, even while the homeowner is miles away.

While most people don’t possess every conceivable smart home technology, the infographic below displays the individual and collective benefits offered to modern homeowners, whether they’re home, at work, or away on vacation.
