Integrating smart tech is a great high-end upgrade to elevate the design of both interiors and exteriors of your home. Not only will your home exude aesthetic appeal but it will also win in terms of functionality.
Below are some ideas to put in the “smart” in your home.
-
WATER LEAK DETECTORS
Avoid the pain of paying ridiculously high water bills and the risk of compromising your home’s structural integrity from moisture damage with these devices. They can immediately detect leaks, no matter how small, alerting you on your phone in an instant.
-
SPRINKLER CONTROLLERS
Keep your lawn green and your garden plants healthy by installing a smart sprinkler controller. Apart from saving you energy and time from having to do this task manually, your smart sprinkler controller can also cut your water bill costs by optimizing how much water to use. These devices automatically schedule when to activate the sprinklers. Their sensors and forecasts also allow them to adjust settings depending on the weather, temperature, and humidity. They can even be smart enough to avoid areas that shouldn’t get wet, such as garden chairs and tables.
-
SECURITY SYSTEMS
Protect your family, your house, and your belongings inside it even when no one’s home with a smart security system. The high-end ones can automatically notify an emergency response center in case an alarm goes off.
Here are several devices that fall under smart security:
- Security cameras can track motion and capture high-resolution images and videos.
- Smart doorbells come with camera surveillance to show you who’s on the other end of the door.
- Smart locks can be remotely toggled for added safety and convenience.
-
KITCHEN GADGETS
With smart technology, you can practically cook a meal without lifting a finger. Smart kitchen technology also aids in preventing food wastage, allowing you to allocate more money for other things.
Some of these devices include:
- Automatic pan stirrers with timers that are perfect for dishes that require long periods of constant stirring.
- Smart coffee makers that you can command from the comfort of your bed
- Smart refrigerator cameras that track expiration dates and tell you how much stock of items you have left.
- Smart storage containers that vacuum-seal your food to keep it fresh, preventing food waste.
-
SMART LIGHTING
Smart lighting not only makes your home more aesthetically pleasing but also helps reduce your power bill. You can program them to turn on at sunset or during a specific time of the day, and their colors and brightness can be fine-tuned to create an ambiance to your liking. Automatic dimmers make them more energy-saving than regular bulbs. Smart lighting can also be controlled from your phone and most are compatible with voice assistants like Google or Alexa.
