Your home should be a haven, somewhere to relax and unwind after a long, busy day. In the modern era, there are various technology solutions to common homeowner problems and solutions which make living in your castle that bit better. In the article below, you will find four gadgets, each of which deserves their own home within your property.
Smart Security Systems
As your home should be a safe space, it makes sense to ensure it’s protected at all times. The best way to do so is, of course, with the latest technology. Smart home security systems can enable you to look at your property via an app and a wireless camera, no matter where you are. Whether you are on vacation or at the office, by investing in a smart security system, your home has the modern protection it needs. What’s more, a WiFi camera is also beneficial when you’re in the property, not only when you leave it. Specific cameras feature motion sensors and night vision, which will alert you instantly should an intruder enter the area around your home.
Home Hub
Home hubs are the digital helpers we didn’t know we needed, but now we can’t live without. Famously, the brands which made these so popular include Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Home Hub. These are virtual assistants, which are incredibly useful in homes for a range of tasks. As they are voice-activated also, they are accessible for all homeowners to use. For example, you can ask Alexa out loud what the weather is outside and receive the answer through the speaker. You could ask what the traffic is like before you set out on your morning commute, and you can connect different devices for ease of access. These devices include smart lights, which the system can turn on via WiFi, your thermostat system, and more.
Smart Coffee Maker
If you can’t function in the morning without a cup of coffee, this gadget undoubtedly deserves a place in your home! A smart coffee maker connects to your smartphone via WiFi or Bluetooth, meaning you can turn them on while you’re still tucked up in bed! However, don’t think these machines are simply standard coffee pots. In fact, several of the machines currently on the market claim to create cups of coffee which are barista-style and of the highest standard. Of course, the type you buy will depend on your budget, with the more pricey models hitting the shelves at over $2,000.
Smart Blinds
Smart blinds are a great addition to any home, but especially so if your rooms are south facing. Much like the other smart devices mentioned, these blinds are controlled via an app on your smartphone or via a remote control. What this enables you to do is control how much light enters your room without even leaving the comfort of your seat. These are ideal for windows that are too high to comfortably reach to adjust the blinds. Ikea, for example, is launching their own smart blinds, which boast an affordable price for homeowners.
