N2 - Technology evolution introduced the IoT paradigm, resulting in the Smart Home Environment for home services. Most Smart Home services are currently widely available globally. Services such as smart metering has the highest implementation rate around the world and services for old population management of their daily activities and health at home is identified as a potential for South Africa (SA). A total of 1936 published articles are retrieved from Science Direct and Taylor Francis databases. The inclusion criteria contained “smart home services, smart home products and smart home protocols “. After the exclusion protocols, a total of 74 articles met all the criterions and are used for data analysis and results investigating the feasibility of Smart home services in SA together with local network capability. The smart home requirements include home automation, home monitoring, home security and life convenience are assessed and are a determining factor to deploy the service. Network readiness to offer smart home services in SA is accessed. This paper is able to conclude, on the international standard protocols, products availability and services for deploying a smart home environment. Aspects such as home automation, home monitoring, home security and life convenience are a determining factor for the smart home. The feasibility of Smart Home service for the old population category is reported as a use case scenario to evaluate readiness in SA. This considers the architecture design readiness, smart home requirements and Smart Home products availability.
