Simply put, a smart home is one that benefits from some form of home automation. There is no real threshold for what exactly qualifies as a smart home though. If you have a thermostat that adjusts itself, that could be considered a smart home. If you have every item in your house networked to the point where your lights turn on when your alarm clock goes off, your toaster oven starts cooking your bacon, and your digital assistant greets you with “good morning, captain,” congratulations. Also that’s pretty smart.
