Based on that definition, all houses are "Smart" homes, and it's now a meaningless factor in advertising a home. .

To now qualify for a "smart" house, the house requires:

1) a wireless connected thermostat
2) a wireless connected sprinkler system
3) a wireless connected front door lock
4) a wireless connected door bell
5) a wireless connected garage door opener

To now qualify for a "genius" home:

5) a complete wireless security system
6) a wireless connected dishwasher
7) a wireless connected oven/range
8) wireless connected outlet light switches
*) a wireless connected pool lights and heating system
