Development of a Solution for Smart Home Management System Selection Based on User Needs

The growing complexity of smart home technologies and the need for personalized energy management have led to the development of a user-centric Smart Home Management System (hereinafter SHMS) selection tool. This study presents a solution combining a web-based administration dashboard and a mobile application that allows users to evaluate and select suitable SHMS alternatives based on a structured questionnaire. Four systems—KNX, JUNG Home, LB Management, and eNet Smart Home—were compared using the Simple Additive Weighting (hereinafter SAW) method. Evaluation criteria included installation complexity, communication technology, control capabilities, and user experience. Results show that the proposed system enhances user engagement, reduces decision-making uncertainty, and contributes to the wider adoption of energy-efficient solutions in residential buildings.
