Explanations are essential for helping users interpret and trust autonomous smart-home decisions, yet evaluating their quality and impact remains methodologically difficult in this domain. V-SHiNE addresses this gap: a browser-based smarthome simulation framework for scalable and realistic assessment of explanations. It allows researchers to configure environments, simulate behaviors, and plug in custom explanation engines, with flexible delivery modes and rich interaction logging. A study with 159 participants demonstrates its feasibility. V-SHiNE provides a lightweight, reproducible platform for advancing user-centered evaluation of explainable intelligent systems
