What is home automation?

Traditionally home automation involves setting up systems and programs so you can manage elements of your home (lights, air conditioning, sprinklers, cameras, etc) from one centrally controlled place. 

Usually these tasks are done from a control panel but more and more these days, these items are being controlled by smartphones. This is why more people are looking at using NFC tags to automate certain elements of their home life to make things easier around the home and save themselves a little time and effort along the way.
