Smart technologies are getting even smarter, while lazy homeowners… use their time responsibly, saving it for doing household chores. Before the calendar of the final tournament, date, time and place of each match we have already talked about the technical assets of mankind that will help protect the home from unwanted guests, save money thanks to frugal consumption of resources, and simply make everyday chores less noticeable and tiring. Today, we want to supplement the previous list with the latest innovations from the "smart home" technology market, so that even living in apartment in the center of Kyiv nothing was inferior to a resort vacation.
What's new in the smart technology market
1️⃣ Cleaning robots 🧹
These babies are unlikely to surprise anyone, but they also regularly update their functions. So, in addition to the usual vacuum cleaners, robotic assistants for washing windows are quite popular. You can't do without these little things if you live on the upper floors. As for vacuum cleaners, they easily remember the layout of the house, drive on all possible surfaces, and some have even learned to throw out garbage behind them without human intervention - complete independence and guaranteed cleanliness. The iRobot Roomba i7+ model has exactly all the listed advantages.
2️⃣ Intercoms and calls 🔔
Watching visitors through a tiny window and eavesdropping on strangers stomping under the door is a kind of way to protect yourself and prevent intruders from entering the territory of the residential complex. Another thing is to have a call with a camera and the possibility of feedback. If you want to always be aware of visitors, we recommend installing Ring Video Doorbell. This system allows you to see and talk to guests, even if you are away from home when they arrive.
3️⃣ Audio systems 🎵
Almost imperceptible speakers can be installed in all rooms so that the music sounds equally loud. Control of the sound supply takes place in special applications on the smartphone. The Sonos smart audio system perfectly recognizes voice commands and provides high-quality and clear sound.
4️⃣ Locks 🔒
Even a child could forge a key, if he had the materials to make a mold and pocket money to make it. It is much more reliable to install such locks, which can be opened not only with an iron, but also from a smartphone or after entering a special code. The August Smart Lock not only guarantees the safety and inviolability of your home, but also allows you to remotely monitor attendance, giving access to relatives or service personnel so that the premises do not drown in dust during a long absence, and the plants do not die of thirst.
5️⃣ Lighting systems 💡
Twisting and screwing light bulbs to adjust the level of light, its saturation and "warmth" will no longer be necessary, because smart lighting systems such as Philips Hue make all processes much easier. You can remotely change the brightness and colors of the light to match your mood or specific events. An additional function tied to the time of day allows you to program the lights to turn on and off at specific times.
6️⃣ Energy saving 🔆
It is worth starting with the installation of a smart thermostat, which will allow you to regulate the temperature in the premises and turn off the heating if it is not needed. It is also worth paying attention to modern energy management systems. Ecobee and Nest are particularly popular. By reducing the use of electricity, you will not only contribute to the stabilization of the ecological situation, but also significantly reduce monthly costs for utility services.
7️⃣ Water management 💧
Like energy saving systems, devices like Phyn Plus will help control the consumption of a valuable resource. They also monitor the slightest changes in the system's state, so they immediately report breakdowns. Using similar water management solutions, you will forget about the fear of flooding forever.
8️⃣ Security systems using AI 🤖
Not all guests are welcome. Special cameras with integrated artificial intelligence can independently recognize guests' faces and their actions. If suspicious activity or unwanted persons are detected, they immediately report them to the property owners.
9️⃣ Kitchens 🍳
Of course, the home robot-cook is not yet on sale, but the market is full of all kinds of gadgets and inventions that will help make the process of cooking easier and faster. Pay attention to ovens that can automatically adjust modes and temperature so that you don't accidentally overcook your roast. A good helper for inattentive homeowners will be a refrigerator that will notify in advance about the end of certain products.
🔟 Voice assistants for controlling the house 🎤
Of course, no technology can replace a full-fledged one real estate management service, but they will also help in many ways. Such intelligent assistants take responsibility for temperature and lighting, resource use and guest admission. There are currently three industry leaders on the market: Apple Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Choose the one you like.
