Abstract: The home appliance usage and application of the infotainment, entertainment and communication has increased alarmingly with the advent of technology. However, the energy consumed by these equipment’s has also gone high. Therefore, there is an inert need for studying and planning for the energy management and exercise check and control on the energy waste at the domestic environment that occurs due to the inefficient management of the home appliance and Home automation devices. Technology has become a centre-piece of everyone’s lives and is evolving in unimaginable ways. With the advancements in Internet of Things(IoT) space and ease of availability of the technology, innumerable applications of IoT are now possible beyond industries and organisations. One such application of the IoT technology is in a “Smart Home Automation System”. Home Automation also referred to as “domotics” is the process in mechanizing homes using IoT that would allow owners to control lighting, temperature, music systems and other electrical appliances via use of computers or handheld devices such as smart phones or tablets. Apart from the obvious benefit of the ability to remotely control, a home automation system offers multiple benefits such as enhanced security, energy efficiency, monetary savings, comfort & convenience and peace mind to a household that would adopt it. In line with these advantages, this paper will attempt to identify which of these factors are most relevant and important to a consumer and would lead to the adoption of home automation system and what are the factors which are of paramount importance when it comes to energy efficient home automation.
