Devices That Transform Homes Into Futuristic Smart Abodes
Technology continues to invade every space in the home, connecting all the appliances in our lives. Our devices can now communicate amongst each other, and stay in touch with us, while we are away from home.
As the era of the Internet of Things (IoT)descends upon us, more and more interior designers and realestate developers are embracing smart home trends, and even making provisions for such appliances in newer constructions.
We can thank the Internet Age, for not just our computers and smartphones, but now include everything in our homes from speakers, lights, doorbells, security cameras, windows curtains, blinds, home theatre appliances, and an ever-growing list of more. The allencompassing feature of such connecting devices changes our everyday home lives into smarthome living, by activating various processes with a few clicks of our fingers.
Automating the ability to control items around the house—from window shades to lights —with a simple tap (or a voice command) sounds like something out of a dream. While some plug-and-play devices, an example of setting up a led bulb to change colours at our whims, are simple and user-friendly. Others, like security cameras or home theatre systems, require more serious analysis and consultation. Here’s are some intelligent additions to any house, apartment, or building complex.
