Home Automation Sensors

There are probably thousands of such sensors out there that can be a part of this list. Since this is an introduction towards smart home technology, we will keep it brief. We will break down IoT sensors for home automation by their sensing capabilities:

  • Temperature sensors.
  • Lux sensors
  • Water level sensors
  • Air composition sensors
  • Video cameras for surveillance
  • Voice/Sound sensors
  • Pressure sensors.
  • Humidity sensors
  • Accelerometers
  • Infrared sensors
  • Vibrations sensors
  • Ultrasonic sensors.

Depending upon what you need you may use one or many of these to build a truly smart home IoT product. Let’s have a look at some of the most commonly used home automation sensors.
