preferred over manual systems by the current generations. We call this sweet home as Smart
Homes which shall be more self-controlled and automated due to the comfort it provides,
especially when employed in a own home. A home automation system is a means that allow users
to control electric and electronic appliances of varying kind. The convenience of using smart
phones to control home devices like Lights, Fans, Geysers, Air Conditioning, Motorized Controls
(Curtain, Gate) from any part of the world remotely through internet / cloud networking is another
breakthrough the technology has bought. The home safety is of utmost importance to take care of
near and dear ones. Though we are developing in every aspect, but at environment level and energy
generation, we have a major threat and challenge, Home automation addresses the most need of
the hour, energy savings and supports Go-green concept.
This research paper is to know what is Home Automation?, The technology behind the Home
Automation, what are the different home automation systems that are available (Wired & Wireless

LITERATURE REVIEW
Brush, A.J. Bernheim., Lee, er. al., (2011), Home Automation in the Wild: Challenges and
Opportunities. This research is conducted by Microsoft Research, University of Washington to
analyse the Visions of smart homes. The research analyses that these technologies have not been
widely adopted despite being available for over three decades. To gain insight into this state of
affairs, researchers conducted semi-structured home visits to 14 households with home
automation. Researcher study of long-term use of home automation illustrates why participants
use automation, the diversity of use across households, and how both Outsourced and DIY
households struggled, albeit in different ways. The long term experience, both positive and
negative, of the households researcher interviewed illustrates four barriers that need to be
addressed before home automation becomes amenable to broader adoption. These barriers are high
cost of ownership, inflexibility, poor manageability, and difficulty achieving security. Research
findings also provide several directions for further research, which include eliminating the need
for structural changes for installing home automation, providing users with simple security
primitives that they can confidently configure, and enabling composition of home devices.
Sripan, Meensika., et. al., (2012), "Research and Thinking of Smart Home Technology".
Researcher identifies that smart home is emerging technology which is continuously growing.
With smart homes, the way people live will obviously become more efficient and comfortable.
Author says that all the time, our home can be saved from home automation, so we will have
much time to work on other pursuits. Researcher describes three main challenges of Smart home
technology as Security, adaption to new environment and high cost of intelligence. Despite of
challenges researcher concludes by mentioning that smart home technology is a good choice for
people who care about security and comfort but energy saving as well. Smart homes will become
more ubiquitous because new technologies will be explored more and more.
Palaniappan, Satish., et. al., (2015), "Home Automation Systems - A Study", Researcher says that
with the increase in consumption of energy and population, there is a grave need to conserve
energy in every way possible. Researcher says that based on all the systems surveyed and their
advantages and drawbacks, this paper presents the features to be possessed by an ideal system for
home automation with remote access. However, the data channel of GSM must be used, to provide
internet access. Only the Internet can ensure that access can be made available at all times. This
will give rise to a standard access method for the home appliances using the Internet protocol. The
user interface should be a web application that has an associated mobile application. So that people
of all kinds can access the system. Such a system should also have the feature of being easy to
install. Only then can automated homes become commercially viable. Researcher says that there
should be a lot of thought put into the design of the user interface for these apps. Plug and play
capabilities will be an added bonus for the system. Ease of adding a new device to an automated
house will play an important role in taking forward the systems commercially. Researcher
concludes by stating that the future scope for the home automation systems involves making homes
even smarter. Homes can be interfaced with sensors including motion sensors, light sensors and
temperature sensors and provide automated toggling of devices based on conditions. More energy
can be conserved by ensuring occupation of the house before turning on devices and checking
brightness and turning off lights if not necessary. The system can be integrated closely with home
security solutions to allow greater control and safety for home owners.
Kumar, Abhay and Tiwari, Neha, (2015), "Energy Efficient Smart Home Automation System".
The research focuses on planning of a system which will minimize energy waste in home
environments with efficient managing devices operation modes. The author uses design which
tend to use a wireless sensing element network to observe physical parameters (like light-weight
and temperature) additionally because the presence of users reception and in every of its rooms.
Author observes that when users change their habits as a result of unpredictable events, the system
is able to notice wrong predictions analyzing in real time info from sensors and to switch system
behaviour consequently. This research is based on the meaning of smart phones and its details of
smart home elements projects and challenges. Author says smart is the good and beneficial which
is very much easy for the security and comfort but who also want to save their electrical energy
that is wasted by many people in regular span of time. Authors conclude by stating that with the
introduction of smart home people live more comfortable life.
To understand the acceptance of home automation by end users and the builders
METHODOLOGY
An exploratory study was conducted by 180 selected experts from the industry. Primary data was
collected through structured interview. For the research purpose, published reports, research
papers, newspaper reports, blogs, conference proceedings, were considered.
The study is limited to the top level overview of the Smart Home Automation market
in India and Globally.
The study is limited to experts only as the awareness about the concept is very less.

In recent years, wireless systems like Wi-Fi have become more and more common in home
networking. Also in home and building automation systems, the use of wireless technologies gives
several advantages that could not be achieved using a wired network only.
For all the reasons as pointed in the above table, wireless technology is not only an attractive choice
in renovation and refurbishment, but also for new installations. And it is imperative to know that
the home automation market worldwide is making a shift from wired to wireless systems.
themselves and taking decisions. Just as the first decade of the 21stcentury witnessed an
unprecedented increase in adoption of mobile phones, the coming decade is going to witness the
proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart devices- which will increase resource efficiency
in all facets of our lives and the products we use. Smart Home Automation is one of the main IoT
application.
According to a report by Cisco, as of 2015, there are approximately 3 smart devices per person in
the world. This number is expected to rise as the number of connected devices will reach 50 billion
by 20201.
From the above figures it is clear that the usage of smart devices is more and the bandwidth cost
compared to 10 years back it has come down substantially. This is a clear indication that IoT as
such is the happening technology and Smart Home Automation is going to grow with it
accordingly.
The main growth drivers of the home automation market are comfort, modularity and peace
of mind, especially when it comes to security, while energy management emphasizes cost
savings.
Security and energy management are the more advanced systems in terms of integration,
while home automation is still at the early stages of development.
The popularity of home automation has been increasing greatly in recent years due to much
higher affordability and simplicity through smartphone and tablet connectivity.
The rise in standard of living, combined with the growing awareness of both security and
energy efficiency driving the demand and supply side for home automation products.
Home automation market is mainly driven by the declining cost and complexity of home
automation products. Once perceived as elite class-only, the home automation products
are gaining widespread popularity mainly because of the development of standard-based
technologies that can be integrated into existing communications/ utility infrastructure of
modern homes, resulting in lower cost systems that eliminate the need for bulky hardware
and cabling.
New initiatives such as Googles Android at Home can bring increased consumer
awareness of Home automation systems and facilitate interoperability between equipment
from multiple vendors.
The home automation industry is also opening up a new potential market for cellular M2M
devices and services.
control systems market. The Indian building automation & control systems market is anticipated
to grow by three folds, in revenue terms, by 2019, exhibiting robust CAGR of around 21.7% during
2014-193.
Initially concentrated in the areas of HVAC and security systems, the market has now evolved into
newer areas like lighting systems, fire detection systems, entertainment systems and energy
management systems as well. The automation not only integrates different automation systems as
mentioned, but also enables substantial power savings.

Home automation could have well been a part of science fiction many decades ago, but is a reality
today. Home automation has its roots in smart home appliances which has over the years led to the
development of integrated smart homes. 4
Home automation today largely consists of four functional segments Lighting, Security,
Audio/Video and HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning). The home automation
market in India is expected to reach INR 8800 crores by 2017, with the residential segment
accounting for nearly 60% of the industry. Home automation in India today consists of four
functional segments Lighting, Security, Audio/Video and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning).
Lighting is the largest component of residential market while security is the largest component of
Commercial market. The key growth drivers of this demand are increasing consumer awareness
and financial ability, product innovations (like smart phone apps), builders requirement for market
differentiation and an increase in the preference for energy efficient systems.
Redseer consulting research paper "Bringing convenience home - Home Automation in India Fast evolving and rapidly growing
However the market is still in its growth phase with a significant gap for more innovative and
connected systems. Some of the key constraints include high product costs and moderate levels of
satisfaction among the customers.
It can be observed that certain areas have shown higher growth and this can largely attributed to
two factors growth of IT Hubs and HNIs (high net-worth individuals). HNIs are concentrated in
NCR, Punjab and Gujarat and IT Hubs are located in Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Noida and
Coimbatore.5
Pune currently is the biggest market for home automation in India. The market shares for key
markets are as follows:
MARKET ANALYSIS

35-40%. The market for residential home automation is highly fragmented, especially in home
security systems.
Commercial spaces contribute to 30% of the home automation market. This segment is largely
driven by security and access systems. Large companies like Samsung, Bosch and Honeywell
dominate this segment in India. Efficient building management systems are fast gaining popularity
in India as well.
The hospitality industry also uses home automation and accounts for 10% of the market. Security
and lighting systems are popular in this sector due to the growing need for differentiation.
b) Product segment analysis7
Lighting and security are the top selling products in home automation, accounting for nearly 8085% of the market.
The lighting market is largely driven by the residential segment. In India, the industry is still
dominated by remote control solutions as mobile apps and other advanced solutions are costlier.
Lutron, Philips and Legrand dominate the lighting market in India. Security systems are also
becoming very popular in India and are used by both the residential and commercial segments.
CCTVs accounts for about 25% of the security systems. The market for security systems is
however highly fragmented between local, Chinese and other international players.
HVAC and Audio/Video systems account for about 15-20% of the market and is typically provided
in hotels and commercial complexes; residential applications are still low. HVAC is largely done
in complexes with centralized air-conditioning.
A market split by product and customer segments can be seen in the chart below:
Redseer consulting research paper Home Automation Market in India - Deep dive into the
future trends of the market

It can be seen from the chart that lighting is the largest component of the residential market while
security is the largest component of the commercial market.
Overall, the market is highly fragmented, largely due to the low entry barriers. Availability of open
source technologies makes it easier to enter the market. Innovation is the driving force of the
industry and the market is evolving fast both in terms of technology and features (mobile apps
etc.).
In India, the home automation market is expected to grow significantly over the next few years
and will witness growth both in terms of number of players and technologies offered.

Convenience and comfort functions offered by Home Automation systems are not
critical or essential and thus suffer when the financial and economic picture is gloomy.
The best time to install a Home Automation system is during new home construction
in terms of convenience and as such growth of Home Automation depends on the
growth of the housing market.
Other challenges include lack of awareness of Home Automation offerings and the fact
that consumers in many segments do not see a strong reason for Home Automation
systems.
The costs involved in terms of equipment, installation and ongoing maintenance and
service, are all perceived as deterrents.
Added to the cost of home automation technologies is the price of bandwidth that rule
the proliferation of multimedia, which is an integral part of home automation systems.
Deployment costs and labor are site-dependent and may represent a constraint until
uniform packages are launched.
The next primary challenge for home automation is the existing disparity of
technologies (e.g. wired versus wireless networks, diversity of protocols and
platforms). Players are developing alliances and partnerships along the value chain to
promote and develop their platform.
Home automation vendors are expected to deliver customized solutions that suit the
demands of individual customers. This results in a lack of proper service strategy,
including SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and pricing plans. Standardisation of
home automation technologies and their seamless integration into existing home
infrastructure will address these challenges.
Service providers are also challenged by the huge infrastructural costs associated with
providing seamless communications to emergency home automation systems.
Owning a smart home means having to learn and adapt to new environments.
Product and Supplier related: Although foreign players are entering the market, the
process of purchasing and maintaining a system sold by a foreign player is still not
smooth. Some of the drawbacks of foreign players in India are as follows:
o Product replacement times are as high as 4 weeks
o Lack of service infrastructure as 1 service engineer services up to 400 clients
o Lack of support for India-models of products as codes are written for Foreign
(US/Europe) models
o Lack of support for system integrators
o Unsuccessful solutions by MNCs is leading to system integrators creating their
own protocols or switching to open source products.
shall Turn ON / OFF the lights based on their presence / absence. Panic Alarm in case of
emergency shall alert their near and dear ones to act accordingly and its a life saver.
Kids Safety
The safety solutions that home automation provides include flood sensors, shock sensors
and smoke sensors which contribute to a safe environment. CCTV security cameras, if
placed strategically the working parents can track their kids and alert system shall help
them to be closely associated with their kids even far from them. Maid servants who are
left alone with the kids is also being in control with the various features and facilities that
home automation provides.
Support Staff
The whole world is facing the challenge of shortage of manpower in support activities like
house maid, servants and security guards. Even the trust of the available support staff is
still a concern. The Smart home system shall decrease the dependency of these support
staff activities.
Home Assistant
Custom Schedules provides user various options to automate the common lighting and
other home appliances activity. Like common area lighting shall switch ON every evening
@ 6:30PM and goes off at 10PM.
MAJOR FINDINGS
The Home automation market is going to be here and it is no more limited to the rich class
of society.
The Home security has good traction and growing rapidly. Medium luxury homes are
considering this as a prerequisite of their homes, which is a good sign.
The Home Automation is being accepted well in Builders segment and IT (Information
Technology) hubs / Metro Builders are implementing it to make their offer more attractive
to customers which shall help them in their sales and for better cash flow. However the
level of Home Automation that each builder investing varies based on the need and the
budget that they can afford.
The Brand is a very important parameter for end users, especially in the security domain.
However, a brand is not a significant factor for builders, as price is the most important
consideration for builders.
As the affordability of the Home Automation has come down (wireless solutions close to
INR 1 Lac) more and more Tech Savvy Home buyers are going for it.
The Independent Home Owners or Villa or Bungalow Owners are still in dilemma of
choosing the right automation technology that best fits them. As the best selection over
Wired and Wireless is still in debate. The more number of people the owner consults the
more he/she shall be confused. Over a time this shall be easy due to the rapid development
of the solutions and due to more and more manufacturers entering into this market to get
their share of the business opportunity.
The Indian market is a great potential for both the local and foreign players to invest in this
space. As Make in India program of the Indian Government is encouraging both the local
and foreign players to manufacture the best in class solutions and also it is providing
various benefits that the manufacturer is looking for. With the potential of the home
automation market in India, it shall be no surprise to see that there shall be many products
both local and international products for the customers to choose from.
The demand of more electricity power in the near future, can be addressed with the better
utilization of the power that is being generated and by avoiding the pilfering of the
unwanted power usage. The Home Automation system shall support in energy savings and
with the greener solutions it contributes towards a better environment.
CONCLUSION
With smart homes, the way people live will obviously become more efficient and comfortable.
Smart Home Automation shall save time of the home buyers from the mundane activities, which
can be well utilized for other efficient pursuits. Smart home technology is a good choice for people
who care about security or comfort or energy savings as well, with the affordability part this shall
reach to more number of users in urban and to the rich class in rural areas as well. Smart homes
will become more ubiquitous because new technologies will be explored more and more.
Also an attempt is being made by the researcher to assist the home buyers to choose the best home
automation solutions by giving the various pros and cons of the available (wired and wireless)
home automation solutions. With the potential of the home automation market in Global and India
there shall be more and more service providers and products to choose from shall benefit the
market as a whole.
