📡 3. AI and the Internet of Things (IoT): A Perfect Match

The integration of AI with the Internet of Things (IoT) is what truly makes a smart home intelligent. IoT connects devices like smart refrigerators, lights, security cameras, and thermostats, while AI processes the data they generate to make autonomous decisions.

For example, AI can analyze data from motion sensors to determine when a room is occupied and adjust lighting or temperature accordingly. It can also sync with your calendar to prepare your home environment before you even arrive. This combination of AI and IoT creates a dynamic ecosystem where devices work together to improve comfort, security, and efficiency.
