With the rapid development of information technology and the continuous improvement of urbanization levels, communities, as the basic units of urban governance, have witnessed the implementation of intelligent construction, which has become an important means to enhance urban governance capabilities. Automation technology serves as the driving force for the construction of smart communities, providing new solutions for community management, services, and governance. This paper mainly explores the application value of automation technology in the intelligent construction of communities, analyzes the problems such as technological application disconnection, unbalanced facility construction, and low resident participation in community intelligent construction. From the perspectives of demand-oriented system integration, low-cost sustainable construction models, and resident participation-based service promotion, it explores the practical paths of enabling community intelligent construction through automation technology, providing theoretical references and practical guidance for the modernization of community governance, improvement of residents’ living quality, and sustainable development of communities.
