Ikhaya elihlakaniphileiyinkundla yokuhlala, ehlanganisa izinsiza ezihlobene nempilo yasekhaya ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-generic cabling, ubuchwepheshe bokuxhumana kwenethiwekhi, ubuchwepheshe bokuvimbela ukuphepha, ubuchwepheshe bokulawula okuzenzakalelayo kanye nobuchwepheshe bomsindo nevidiyo, yakha uhlelo lokuphatha olusebenzayo lwezindawo zokuhlala kanye nezindaba zesheduli yomndeni, ithuthukisa ukuphepha, ukunethezeka, ukunethezeka kanye nobuciko bekhaya, futhi ibona indawo yokuhlala enobungani neyonga amandla
Ikhaya elihlakaniphileiwumfanekiso we-IOT ngaphansi kwethonya le-inthanethi. I-Ikhaya elihlakaniphileixhumanisa amadivaysi ahlukahlukene ekhaya (njengezinto ezilalelwayo nevidiyo, isistimu yokukhanyisa, isilawuli samakhethini, isilawuli se-air conditioning, isistimu yezokuphepha, isistimu ye-cinema yedijithali, iseva yevidiyo, isistimu yekhabhinethi yethunzi, izinto zikagesi zenethiwekhi, njll.) nge-inthanethi yezinto. ubuchwepheshe bokuhlinzeka ngesilawuli sezinto zikagesi zasendlini, isilawuli sokukhanyisa, isilawuli kude socingo, isilawuli kude sangaphakathi nangaphandle, i-alamu yokulwa nobugebengu, ukuqapha kwemvelo, ukulawulwa kwe-HVAC Ukudlulisela phambili nge-infrared kanye nokulawula isikhathi okuhlelekayo. Uma kuqhathaniswa nekhaya elivamile, ikhaya elihlakaniphile aligcini nje ngokuba nemisebenzi evamile yokuphila, kodwa futhi linezakhiwo, ukuxhumana kwenethiwekhi, izinto zikagesi zolwazi kanye nemishini ezishintshayo, inikeza imisebenzi yokuxhumana yolwazi nxazonke, futhi yonga imali yezindleko zamandla ahlukahlukene.
