A logic gate is a decision rule with no intelligence.
AND gate: Output is ON only if BOTH inputs are ON.
OR gate: Output is ON if EITHER input is ON.
NOT gate: Output is the OPPOSITE of input.
These aren't "smart." They're mechanical rules. But combine billions of them and you get a smartphone.
Test your understanding with this quiz.
A security system uses XOR gates for encryption instead of AND or OR. Why is XOR special for security?

Every "smart" device is just following gate logic rules. Practice seeing your own decisions as logical combinations.
The first step to building automation is recognizing patterns.
