The home is completely equipped with micro sensors which help it to learn a lot including your daily routines. It will tell how to cook a dish, referring the things you have in fridge, remind you to take the medicines and automatically send a message to you or relatives if it finds anything out of ordinary like leaving the doors unlocked.
