Smart Home
Explore smart home app designs for connected devices, home automation, energy monitoring, security, lighting and climate control.
What it is
Smart Home interfaces help people monitor, control and automate connected devices throughout their homes. Common examples include energy dashboards, security systems, smart lighting, thermostats, solar and battery monitoring, EV charging, appliances and whole-home automation.
When to use
Use this category for interfaces focused on controlling connected home devices, viewing household conditions, monitoring energy consumption or creating home automation routines. It is appropriate when the home and its connected systems are the product’s primary context.
When not to
Do not use this category for general utility dashboards, standalone productivity tools or apps that merely connect to one device without a meaningful smart-home experience. Use Analytics when data analysis is the primary purpose, Automotive for vehicle-first experiences, or Energy if the product manages utilities beyond the home.
