请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
(2024·苏州一模改编)When you come back to your home on a hot summer night, you find that the lights are already on, the air conditioner has been working for 30 minutes to cool the room, and the rice has been cooked right before you arrive. This is the magic of a smart home.
A smart home is a special home where you can remotely (远程地) control things with your phone. There are many kinds of smart home products, from making your home warm to making it bright, and even keeping you safe. And they are really “smart”. Smart home apps even have self-learning skills. It means that they can learn when you usually do things and change to suit you. Some can also set lights to change based on sunrise or sunset time. And some systems can tell you if there is someone in your home when you are not there, or even call for help if there is danger.
Although smart homes are getting more popular in China and around the world, there are some problems from time to time. Paul Boag, a man from the UK who helps people with their technology, wrote that it was not always easy to set up these smart things. Even his wife, who used to be an engineer, found fitting the smart home light switches (开关) was a big challenge (挑战) for her. Besides, the smart home apps can be trouble. Many of them are not designed well, and each device (设备) has its own app. This means you have to deal with a lot of apps. But except for these problems, smart homes are still a great way to make life easier.
1. What is a smart home?
2. How can a smart home change itself to suit its owner?
3. What are the disadvantages (缺点) of smart homes?
4. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards a smart home?
