Home automation or domotics is building automation for a home.

A home automation system will monitor and/or control home attributes such as lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances.

It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems.

An ecosystem (or ecological system) consists of all the organisms and the physical environment with which they interact.

These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.

Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into plant tissue.

By feeding on plants and on one another, animals play an important role in the movement of matter and energy through the system.

They also influence the quantity of plant and microbial biomass present.

By breaking down dead organic matter, decomposers release carbon back to the atmosphere and facilitate nutrient cycling by converting nutrients stored in dead biomass back to a form that can be readily used by plants and microbes.

Technology is the application of knowledge for achieving practical goals in a reproducible way.

The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts, including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines, and intangible ones such as software.

Technology plays a critical role in science, engineering, and everyday life.

Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation.

It is the essence of the secondary sector of the economy.

The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high-tech, but it is most commonly applied to industrial design, in which raw materials from the primary sector are transformed into finished goods on a large scale.

Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other more complex products (such as aircraft, household appliances, furniture, sports equipment or automobiles), or distributed via the tertiary industry to end users and consumers (usually through wholesalers, who in turn sell to retailers, who then sell them to individual customers).
