“Smart Home” technology has long been closely integrated into the life of many residents of the metropolis. Modern developers are trying to initially incorporate into their projects the possibility of introducing its attributes. This includes advanced security systems, energy-efficient temperature control units, and decorative elements that you wouldn’t even think of. Today we invite you to discover something new and make your home worthy of our progressive age.
Saving for good
When building modern houses, much attention is paid to reasonable consumption, which affects not only the amount of resources used, but also your wallet. Conscious consumption has become a trend of the XNUMXst century. Humanity suddenly discovered the fact that everything must come to an end sooner or later. To delay it and protect our planet for posterity, special technologies are being introduced that allow you to spend exactly the amount of water and electricity that you really need to meet all your needs. Energy-saving technologies that allow property owners to keep up with the times include:
- solar panels will be a real salvation for owners of private houses. They are installed on roofs in well-lit places, so large dimensions do not take up a single drop of living space, while significantly reducing energy costs
- smart window sashes monitor the temperature indoors and outdoors; they can automatically open and close depending on specific weather conditions, time of day and your wishes
- heated floors are laid in strategically important parts of the house and apartment. Bathrooms and hallways especially often require an additional heat source because they are located at a significant distance from the basic heating installations
- Smart thermostats and thermostats are most often installed on radiators so that you can independently regulate the temperature in the rooms and maintain it at a comfortable level. They can be either manual or remote controlled. You will be able to customize the operating mode and turn on the necessary programs remotely using a special program
When choosing thermostats, you should pay attention to such trusted companies as Nest and Ecobee. The former also specializes in security systems, smoke detectors, audio and video systems. Canadian-born company Ecobee deals with home automation, including temperature, motion, light sensors and more.
Safety first
A closed area and an inquisitive concierge at the entrance do not guarantee that your home is protected. Either rented apartment in the center of Kyiv or private house in Kyiv region, it is important to take equally good care of the safety of your real and movable property. To do this you need to install:
- smoke and leak detectors will protect you from accidents while you are away
- The video surveillance system can work around the clock or turn on only at your request. You will be able to view recordings in real time from any convenient device and location
- motion sensors will detect activity that should not be happening in your apartment and instantly notify you about it
- Smart locks also provide remote control capabilities. You don't have to check your pockets every time you leave thanks to keyless entry. Temporary permits for guests, postmen and delivery service employees will allow you to save time and clearly control all individuals entering and leaving, as well as the time they spend in your home
With this level of security, no visitor will go unnoticed. You will no longer have to worry about whether you closed the front door, and naughty brownies will have to stop trying to steal the second sock from the washing machine.
Comfort is in the details

In the modern world, you don’t have to waste time on everyday nuances and movements learned over the years.
