In order to create an advanced smart home system it is important to have certain equipment because such a technology is nothing but a hub of various indicators, detectors, switchers, and sensors. In countries like the UK there are many shops that can offer different options including complex ready to use solutions and options with additional parts. The smart house itself is a standard building and any object can become intelligent and actually not many efforts and equipment are required.

First of all an individual should decide what type of functions are preferred. Which of the possible options are necessary and which are minor. There are many features of automation of houses that are available for people on the market. Among them:
- monitoring system for preventing unauthorised access;
- climate control including heating equipment;
- remote multimedia activation;
- appliances, light, and curtains control.
All above-mentioned can be connected to a special hub and monitored from a smartphone or with the help of special assistants. In order to obtain stable and reliable access to all functions it is vital to have a dedicated internet connection, also Wi-Fi router because all accessories of the installed set usually receive commands via the internet. It is important to get a device with installed software such as Google and Amazon assistants and so on. All purchased items including smart sockets, LED lamps, detectors, cameras, sensors should be compatible with used assistants. This is an important criterion and if available elements are designed for exploitation with other programs then their functioning can be incorrect or even impossible.

Patterns of work of all applied technologies can be created in special apps. A house owner needs to install equipment in accordance with preferences and thus each smart home is unique. Some users want to control only light, electricity consumption, and alarm systems. Others will be happy to try all available functions, so a list of options always depends on the choice of a person.
