Smart Home

Smart Home

Smart home technology is the use of technology to automate your home. Beginning with the invention of the thermostat, it has grown into one of the largest and fastest-growing markets for home automation technology. The possibilities of home automation are increasing. You can use it for home security, home appliances management, energy use monitoring, as a personal assistant, caring for the elderly or disabled.

Technology is growing at an insane pace, not slow. What we saw only in science fiction is now a reality. You can call people like James Bond from your watch and talk to your computer like Hall 9000 (though not like Hall) and now you have a smart home like Iron Man. Smart home technology has been around for a few years. Bill Gates began building his smart home in 1988 and completed it in 2005. Today, you do not have to be a billionaire to own smart home, it certainly does not take 17 years to build. Whether you want to run your home through a central system or be happy with app-based devices, your options are vast and expandable.

Smart speakers

It is reported that 39 million Americans have a smart speaker in their homes. No wonder they have all the potential. Smart speakers can do a lot more than just play music, yet they do it well. They can search the internet, tell the weather, give you news, act as personal assistants and act as a central control centre for your entire smart-home system. With the right smart speakers, you can control almost every aspect of your home with your voice. Ask Alexa at the front door to turn off the light you use above and use Siri to cool down with Google.

Smart TVs

Smart TVs are great because you can watch whatever you want, whenever you need them, whether you have cable or not. A smart TV usually refers to the TV itself, but in this case, it's an umbrella statement for all IoT video streaming devices.

Smart plugs

Smart plugs can turn an object into a smarter version of it. Plug them into your regular outlets and then you can easily turn them on and off from your smart device for whatever they provide.

Video doorbells

Video doorbells can not only recognize and warn you when someone is at the front door but also show video footage of who is there and use intercom technology to talk to your visitor.

Even the most basic needs can be improved in a smart home. Smart-bathroom technology will transform your bathroom more than the room you need to use it.
