Smart homes: how can they change our lives?

What will the home of tomorrow look like? It seems that the futurist house taking care of itself adapting to its owners habits is no longer a science fiction scenario. Over the past 5 years the number of smart electronic devices dedicated to habitations skyrocketed. Let’s have a look at the latest innovations and the trends that could change our lives.

Smart devices to make our daily life easier

Today you can already purchase a wide range of smart devices to enhance your home. Those gadgets can be easily controlled as they learn from your habits and even anticipate your needs. Forget your old heater. A smart thermostat will now control the temperature of the whole house, connected with the weather application for perfect conditions. And it goes the same for smart bubbles, baby monitors or even domestic robots… Those new devices allow us to control an entire house from a simple press of a button.

A software to guarantee your security

In your smart house of tomorrow, you will get the best security systems and you will control anything from your smartphone. Engineers adapted the last IoT innovations to security devices. Alarm, smoke detector and video camera are now remotely armed or disarmed. You can now receive notifications and have a look at what is happening at home from the other side of the world!

 

When technology takes over the kitchen

Imagine… On the way back to work, your fridge sends an Email. You open it and find an appetizing recipe for tonight’s dinner alongside a grocery list of the missing ingredients. To complete the recipe, your fridge suggests you to use the 3 tomatoes that are about to turn in its vegetable box and chicken. Because your fridge knows that you love the chicken. This is the new way of living that could offer the last intelligent devices such as smart fridge or cooking robots. A complete revolution in the kitchen!

One electronic device to rule them all

With the multiplication of smart devices comes the need to centralize the control. This is what is already offered by smart home hubs like Amazon Echo or Google home. Connected to you other devices and to the internet, those smart assistants will help your in every task from broadcasting music to answering questions. But the most exciting thing about that consumer electronic device: you can control anything with only the sound of your voice!
