Author(s): Jane Doe, John Smith
Reviewers: Clara Anderson (CEO, NexaHome Innovations Inc.)

Purpose: This document provides a detailed description of the functional

requirements for the "SmartHome Hub" device. It serves as a blueprint
for both the development and testing teams to ensure that the device
meets the expectations and needs of its target users.

Scope: The scope of this document specifically covers the functional

requirements
of the "SmartHome Hub" device, detailing how it should behave, its
integrations with other systems, and expected interactions with its
users. Any changes or updates to the requirements will result in a
revision of this document with appropriate versioning.

Device: The "SmartHome Hub" is designed to be the nerve center of a modern

smart home. It eliminates the need for multiple apps or controllers by
centralizing the control of various smart devices.

Users:
● Homeowners: They are likely the primary decision-makers when it
comes to purchasing and installing home automation systems.

● Renters: Their usage might be more transient and might require more
frequent setup and removal of the device based on their rental
agreements.

● Maintenance Personnel: Professionals who might need to

troubleshoot, repair, or replace the device or any of its connected
components.
