House Technology That Is Changing The Way We Interact With Our Homes
Technology has made lives easier, people more connected, and economic progress skyrocket. Now it can change the way you interact with your home. For all the technological advancements that we embrace in our work lives and interpersonal communication, we are still living in the dark ages of smart home devices. There are a slew of voice command and smart home products that promise thousands of home improvements. However, you can focus on just three categories will make the most impact on your quality of life.
Temperature
Going away for a holiday and you forgot to turn down the thermostat? Simply pull up the Nest app on your phone and remotely choose your preferred number. Just reset the temperature a few hours before you return home for a seamless transition back into your daily life. Additionally, if you have a few furry friends at home you can ensure that they have the optimal living environment if the weather changes while you're at work. Nest protects the integrity of your home and those loved ones within it via both the remote thermostat control and smart display security applications.
Security
Home cameras have been around for years, but with new smartphone connectivity you can rest easy even from another side of the world. Link your phone to the Nest camera and you will receive alerts for any activity that takes place outside your home. You may then stream the live video and audio feed through your phone to see what exactly is happening. Nest products lead the way in regards to sound quality, which will allow you to hear everything that you need to ensure a safe home while you're away.
Convenience
Many people are familiar with the smart speaker revolution - a voice assistance device that allows you to do everything from make grocery lists while rummaging through your fridge or change the song while flipping handmade burgers on the grill - but now there are even more gadgets to enhance home efficiency. The most useful among the sea of products is the control technology integrated in stoves, lights, and even gardens. With the touch of a button you can ensure that three important things happen:
1. Your oven is preheated for that delicious lasagna.
2. That the lights are expertly dimmed for date night.
3. The basil you’ve been watching flourish has just the right amount of water.
All this while using your amazon echo dot (which we all know you already have) to play music exactly the way your date prefers.
Now you're thinking, "this is all just a bunch of flashy stuff that I don't really need". You may be right at the moment, but these technologies are the future of home innovation and architectural design. If you do integrate some of these into your new or current home, you will learn to use each fluidly and efficiently. The end result will be a much more relaxing, enjoyable place to not only live, but thrive.
