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.

Easy! That’s an old Lutron homework’s system. You should have a main repeater and a small box called a BDG2 (3”x3”x1.5”, could be white or black. Both must have Ethernet connections. You download the Lutron app. Select homeworks, fallow the step, it will ask you to press a button on the bdg2. You can kick the last owner this way. Then it will ask you if you want to add it to HomeKit. You can AMA! Was an integrater for 10 years.
