In this unit, we'll implement two essential design patterns: the Command pattern and the Decorator pattern, aimed at enhancing our smart home automation and lighting system. These patterns help create a more flexible and expandable system for automation and lighting control.

1. Command Pattern:

   • Purpose: Encapsulates a request as an object, enabling parameterization, queuing, logging, and support for undoable operations.
   • Steps:
     • Define a command interface with an execute method.
     • Create concrete command classes (LightOnCommand, LightOffCommand) that implement this interface and perform specific actions.
     • Implement a receiver class (Light) with methods to turn the light on and off.
     • Use an invoker class (RemoteControl) to store and execute commands.

2. Decorator Pattern:

   • Purpose: Dynamically adds additional functionality to objects without altering their structure.
   • Steps:
     • Define a component interface or base class (Light).
     • Create a base decorator class (LightDecorator) that implements the component interface and holds a reference to a component object.
     • Develop concrete decorators (ColorChangeDecorator) to extend functionalities of the basic component.

Using the Command pattern, we define our commands and receivers, then utilize an invoker to store and execute commands. This enables flexible and parameterizable control over our smart home system.

Here is the complete code for implementing the Command pattern:

By using the Decorator pattern, we can dynamically enhance our smart home's lighting system with additional features without altering the underlying structure.

Here is the complete code for implementing the Decorator pattern:

Implementing the Command and Decorator patterns in our smart home system provides flexibility and scalability. The Command pattern encapsulates requests as objects, allowing for parameterizable and undoable operations. The Decorator pattern dynamically adds functionalities, making the system adaptable and extensible.
