Why Invest in Smart Home Automation with AI?

Smart home technology is becoming the expectation. Back in 2015, only 6.9% of American homes had any smart features. By 2023, that number reached 22.3%, and it’s only growing. We can’t call it a simple passing trend—it’s a fundamental change in how people live.

Here’s what our COO, Nazar Kvartalnyi, had to say:

“Smart technologies make homes more valuable. For residents, it’s about convenience and better living. For businesses, it’s fewer headaches from maintenance and risks, and a stronger draw for buyers or renters. It’s a win on all sides.”

The global smart home market, valued at almost $80 billion in 2022, is projected to skyrocket to $338.28 billion by 2030. With over 400 million smart homes expected worldwide by the end of this year, the market’s dominance is no longer a matter of “if” but “when”.

Smart homes do more than make life easier. They make homes more efficient, secure, and personalized. Think about a thermostat that adjusts itself based on the weather, lights that turn on just before you walk in, or a security system that knows the difference between familiar and unfamiliar persons. These features might actually solve real problems.

And for property owners or real estate businesses, these upgrades lead to tangible benefits:

• Homes sell faster and often at better prices: smart features can bump up a property’s value by 5%.
• Buyers and renters actively look for smart-ready spaces, with 77% saying it’s high on their list.

Real Estate’s Untapped Potential

What’s exciting is that smart homes generate an incredible amount of useful data—on energy use, space utilization, and even maintenance needs. This data can transform how properties are marketed and sold, helping businesses showcase what makes a home special.

It’s especially relevant for millennial buyers, the largest group in the housing market. Nearly 90% of them are willing to pay extra for smart features. 14% of baby boomers—at least those living in multifamily units—own some sort of smart home device, showing that even if they’re not the first adopters, they’re catching up fast. And if these numbers tell us anything, it’s this: tech-savvy buyers are looking for smarter homes, and they’re willing to invest in them.

It’s time to take full advantage of the opportunities this technology brings. Whether it’s creating better homes or making properties more marketable, the potential is enormous.

Other Applications of AI in Smart Homes

AI is revolutionizing maintenance, security, and daily routines, turning homes into responsive, intelligent spaces that anticipate needs and adapt in real time. Let’s explore how AI is taking home automation to the next level.

Insights in this section are provided by our Head of Delivery, Maksym Trostyanchuk, who offers expertise on how these advancements are transforming the smart home industry.

Energy management and efficiency

AI-driven energy management systems are revolutionizing how homeowners optimize energy use. Devices like Nest and Ecobee smart thermostats learn homeowners’ routines and adjust heating and cooling to match occupancy. The result is reduced energy waste and a more efficient home.

AI is also enhancing renewable energy management. For example, it can monitor solar panels to ensure they’re operating at peak efficiency, adjusting settings to reduce waste.

Here’s how it works in practice: a family that typically wakes up at 7:00 AM. Over time, their smart thermostat learns this pattern. So, when the morning comes, the thermostat automatically adjusts the temperature to a comfortable 20°C, just as the family is getting up, ensuring their home is cozy and energy-efficient.

“AI is transforming homes into intelligent systems that prioritize responsible energy use. These technologies are key to sustainability and cost savings by optimizing energy consumption and integrating renewable sources.”

Enhanced home security

AI smart home security makes systems more responsive, and better at distinguishing real threats from everyday occurrences. Smart cameras and doorbells, such as Arlo and Ring, use machine learning to identify people, animals, and objects, reducing false alarms and ensuring relevant alerts.

For example, a Ring doorbell powered by AI might recognize a family member’s arrival and skip the notification, but will alert homeowners if an unfamiliar person approaches. The system can also detect unusual activities, like tampering with gates, and take action such as locking doors or notifying authorities for a quicker response.

“AI security systems go far beyond basic monitoring—they analyze behavior to identify threats, automate responses, and minimize unnecessary alerts, ensuring safety without disruption.”

Artificial Intelligence in the Real Estate Business: Usage and Benefit

Personalized automation and learning

AI elevates home automation by learning from user behavior, tailoring experiences to individual preferences. Over time, smart systems adjust settings based on patterns they observe to create a seamless, personalized environment.

For instance, a smart refrigerator tracks grocery habits, suggesting recipes or reminding homeowners of expiring items. It even anticipates needs—like automatically adding milk to the shopping list if it’s a frequent purchase.

“AI’s strength lies in its ability to adapt to your habits, making daily tasks more efficient. Whether adjusting lighting, optimizing energy use, or managing supplies, these systems learn and evolve to meet your needs.”

Health and wellness

AI is improving home environments to support better health. By syncing with wearable devices, it can adjust conditions such as lighting and temperature to promote well-being.

If a wearable device detects a spike in heart rate, the AI system might dim the lights and play calming music to help the person relax. It can also adjust the environment to promote better sleep or suggest meals based on health data.

Smart home hubs and interconnected devices

AI-powered hubs, like Samsung SmartThings and Apple HomeKit, act as the brains of smart homes, ensuring seamless coordination between various devices. These hubs learn your preferences and optimize settings for maximum efficiency.

For example, after a long day, you approach the front door, and the AI hub automatically turns on the lights, adjusts the thermostat, and even starts the coffee machine—all before you step inside.

“Smart hubs unify all devices in the home, creating a cohesive system that learns your preferences and enhances convenience. They ensure everything works in sync to deliver a seamless, effortless experience.”

Big Data and AI Hype vs. Reality: Distinguish Viable Solutions from Outdated Myths

Automated household chores

AI-powered cleaning robots, such as the Roomba, have redefined how we manage household chores. These devices use advanced algorithms to map out the layout, avoid obstacles, and adjust cleaning paths to suit the home’s needs.

Came home to spotless floors? That’s just your Roomba, which has learned the layout of your space and adapted its cleaning routine. It knows where to focus more, avoids furniture, and even returns to its charging station when done.

These AI-powered robots make cleaning easy and efficient, keeping your home clean without any effort on your part.

Water and garden management

AI is also revolutionizing water and garden management through smart irrigation systems like Rachio. These systems analyze real-time weather data and soil moisture levels to water gardens more efficiently, helping homeowners conserve water while keeping their plants healthy.

For instance, if a storm is forecasted, the system will delay watering, saving water and adjusting based on weather patterns. And on hot days, it might provide extra hydration where needed.
