Disadvantages of Smart Homes

                   In this article I'm going to show you the disadvantages of a smart home. First of all the cost of an intelligent home that makes our lives convenient is high because some of the technology is relatively new, not many people have that kind of money to build a home like that. Another thing is that the smart homes have a video surveillance and a lot of stuff that you control by a phone or a computer if that kind technology falls into the wrong hands, issues of privacy can occur, if the security feeds from the video and sensor fall into the wrong hands, your smart home could be monitored by those who have managed to hack it.

Not only do smart homes use a lot of energy but also they decrease interaction between family members or friends, because they are too caught up in the technology. You never feel free in your own home since the house is in control, less privacy, everything you do is recorded breakfast, lunch, what time you go out and come back and you always feel watched.
