Summary:The active development of the Internet of Things (IoT) in recent years has increased people's need for control smart devices for home. At the same time, the complexity of these devices is growing. Therefore, Smart Home systems require a simple and convenient interface for control. However, methods for evaluating and comparing interfaces are not clear. In this paper, we described a method to comparing and evaluating different types of Smart Home interfaces. In addition, we evaluate results experimentally. For this comparison, we used a popular Smart Home control software on the market. The results showed that Smart Home graphical user interfaces are more convenient than a messenger or voice. Voice interface is suitable for controlling a Smart Home but is not informative enough in feedback. On the other hand, the familiar interface of the messenger turned out to be the least convenient. This study will help both researchers and practitioners evaluate and choose the right Smart Home interface.
