costly to buy them all, we have divided the system into
packages to appeal to every audience, so anyone who wants
to take advantage of this system or have it installed in their
home can do it. In this way, everyone's home will be
equipped in a short time. After a certain period of time,
whoever installs a system can install something new with
another update.

 IV. REVENUE FLOW
As the figure shows, revenue flow starts with the
shareholders’ investment. Then, the company will buy the
products, such as sensors and high-end technologies from
our suppliers. Then, the company will implement the
software system and set up the system to provide the service
for the customer. The smart home system provides products,
high security, comfortable house management and power
optimization to the user [27]. Lastly, the company will
implement the system to the purchaser to let use of the Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient

more comfortable and enjoyable. Our technology will
become a sticky business as the owners will enjoy using the
AI technology as it will make their life significantly easier.
The smart housing market is expected to grow 21% annually
until 2025 [28]. We want to take advantage of this huge
growth and become an integral part of the smart home
development as this could propel our business during this
crucial time
