Building the Smart Home Automation and Lighting System

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.

Quick Summary
  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).
