Technology continues to upgrade and make people’s lives easier. In recent years, smart homes and smart home gadgets have been increasing in popularity. To truly have a luxury home in 2022, you need to have smart home automations. From automated coffee makers to smart security systems, here are some of the newest smart home gadgets you should have in your home today.
Smart Kettle and Automated Coffee Makers
Kettle and coffee makers have been around for ages, but the latest versions have evolved to become more energy-efficient, user-friendly, and stylish. The kettle can be automated to switch on and off at a particular time and temperature. These gadgets can be controlled using your smartphone or tablet.
With the tap of a button, you can brew a fresh cup of coffee or tea to your liking – even the fanciest of lattes. Homeowners can control the latest coffee makers via their smartphones to create routines and automatons that work for your lifestyle. For example, you can start brewing your coffee before you get out of bed!
Smart Refrigerator
Smart refrigerators are one of the most helpful appliances for the kitchen. With the latest features, these refrigerators can be controlled using applicable apps, as well as onboard computers. You can set reminders for when to shop, view what’s inside your fridge, and even order food! The best part is that you can control these devices from anywhere. Just don’t tell your kids!
Other fridges come with features such as built in camera, a touchscreen display, and the ability to be controlled via your smartphone. It can also be integrated with your home automation system to light up when you walk in, for example.
A smart fridge can help you save time and money by keeping track of your food and beverage consumption. It can also help you plan your meals better and reduce food waste. Now that’s smart.
Smart Lighting
In the past, people only used lighting to provide illumination. However, today’s lighting is much more than that. Smart lighting can enhance your home’s energy efficiency and help you save money on electricity bills.
Homeowners can control smart lighting via their smartphone or a voice assistant. You can schedule the time when your lights turn on and off. You can also control the brightness of your lights and create different lighting scenes for other occasions using different colours. For example, your smart home can have different light temperatures and “scenes” for different times of day, such as bedtime, when you start work in the morning, and more!
Smart Home Security
Smart home security can be a great addition to your smart home. You can install smart door locks and cameras that the entire household can control via your smartphone. You can also get alerts when someone enters your home, or your cameras see motion and hear noise. Smart security systems give you the peace of mind that your home is safe and secure.
These systems send you real-time alerts about suspicious activity in your home. Whether you choose a security company that offers smart home gadgets, or choose options you can set up on your own with wifi connectivity and smart assistants is up to you. Either way: you’ll have more peace of mind than ever before.
Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat lets you control your home’s temperature from your smartphone. You can set the temperature for different times of the day to change automatically. Smart thermostats can also learn your heating and cooling preferences and adjust automatically, according to your routines.
Smart thermostats can help you save money on your energy bill by optimizing the rate at which your home heats and cools. Your family can control these thermostats via their smartphones and applicable apps – or even voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home!
Sound Smart?
Smart gadgets can make your life easier. For example, if you forget to turn off the lights, now, you can use your smartphone to turn them off. Smart gadgets can also help you save money on your energy bill and improve your home’s security. Indeed, technology has evolved from a product that people only thought of as a gimmick. Nowadays, smart gadgets have become essential for making homes easier to live in, more comfortable, and more luxurious.
