Abstract
As we move forward towards ubiquitous computing and having more technology enabled environments, focusing more and more on making homes - our first and foremost living environment – smart, becomes a trend in the field. Since homes are peoples most intimate surrounding as living environments, they have arguably the most influence on their lives, and it is important that their design fit users’ needs as perfectly as possible. As the starting point towards that goal it is good to know about main concepts of smart home systems, some tools and techniques used in the field, and more importantly, main characteristics and consideration of a good smart home design.
