The new trend today is smart homes using home automation systems. This brilliant innovation has dramatically changed the way we interact with our appliances and amenities. You may ask what in the world is all this about, and what the fuss is all these. For you, it’s just a novelty and a fad. Well, here are a few smart home ideas that might convince you otherwise: 1. Reach everything from your couch The one thing that is always with us everywhere we go- even to the toilet- is our smartphones. And so, engineers have made use of our mobile devices to integrate themselves with the house. Using the Internet of Things or IoT platform, you can control your house’s lighting, climate, blinds and curtains, and appliances all from your smartphone. You don’t even have to stand up from your coach. Everything is at the reach of your fingertips- even when you’re at the office or the mall. 2. The power of words Voice recognition API’s and IoT is a powerful combination. Amazon Echo, Apple HomePod, and Google Home are powerful digital assistants that respond to your requests without a single button pushed- all that’s needed is for you to tell it what to do and it will do so. 3. Security at its finest Cameras in your home can wirelessly transmit to your phone and alert you if an unfamiliar face is detected. This is all thanks to advanced image recognition algorithms. 4. Follow the leader Lighting and sound can follow you to which room you go to using an array of cameras and motion detectors. This saves a lot of energy by turning off unoccupied rooms. You can listen to that Lana Del Ray song uninterrupted as you move along your home.
