Careful reading
Have you ever forgotten to lock the door of your house Or, have you ever forgotten to switch off the TV or computer These kinds of things happen to us all the time, waste resources, and can sometimes lead to problems. However, in the not-too-distant future, we will be living in smart homes that will lock the door for us when we are away and remember to switch off the TV when we forget. These smart homes will keep us secure, save us energy, and provide a more comfortable environment to live in.

Why does the author mention that smart home is not a fantasy
Why will it take “some years” to be popular
high cost, imperfect technology...

Have you ever thought of the disadvantages of smart homes
If there is a problem with the system/power failure, you may find yourself locked out of the house, or fail to switch your TV on or off.
Security is another big concern, as strangers may be able to hack into the system to collect private information about your life and use that for evil purposes.
