Supported self-care and home-based services are emerging as new models of care. Advances in sensor and network technologies have made these possible [4]. A smart home equipped with smart technologies provides services that enhance human way of living i.e. safety, security, entertainment etc. allowing elderly to maintain living independently and securely in their homes. This paper reviews various topics on smart home technologies including smart home network, smart home appliances, smart home projects and sensor technologies for smart home.
