Abstract	The increased rate of urbanization, energy requirements and environmental issues in India have heightened the pressure of the sustainable residential energy solutions. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and energy management systems smart home automation provides a feasible solution towards conserving energy. This research paper is an empirical study of the adoption rates of smart home technologies in India and the way it fits within the national sustainability policies, i.e., the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) and energy efficiency efforts. Based on the mixed-method approach of the survey analysis and secondary review of policies, the study determines the important determinants of adoption, such as socio-economic status, awareness, cost barriers, and policy incentives. The results show that the adoption of smart homes has a tremendous impact on energy efficiency, which saves up to 2530 of electricity, though it is not evenly distributed across both demographic and regional lines. The research points to policy integration, affordability and awareness gaps and suggests a policy-based framework to speed up implementation to attain sustainable development.
