Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

You've missed the part where they abused a notification category for unrelated content.

Android has notification categories for the purpose of giving you more control over which notifications you allow and block for a given app. I believe the determination of notification categories and what goes in which category is entirely up to the app developer - I assume there aren't any technical restrictions, and I'm not sure if there are any particular rules that Google makes them agree to. But if nothing else, naming a category "Motion detected" or similar and including adverts is a dick move.
