With new technology being released all the time, smart home technology is starting to become more accessible and more sought-after by buyers. So what exactly is a smart home?
A smart home allows homeowners to control appliances, thermostats, lights, and security devices through a central hub within the home or remotely through a smartphone or similar device - sounds too good to be true, right?
Here’s a list of the most common smart home connections people are using everyday:
Lighting
Smart lights allow you to control the lighting in every room of your house from your mobile device, perfect for the moment when you get into bed and remember that you left the light on downstairs.
Climate
Smart thermostats allow you to control the temperature in every room, from anywhere in the house, or even from work.
Energy
Most smart home devices can be utilised to track your energy and water usage, allowing you to be more sustainable, while also saving money on bills.
Appliances
Imagine being able to set your coffee machine to start brewing at 6am or set your TV to turn on as soon as you get home from work. Well, with smart home appliances you can!
Home security
One of the major attractions with smart appliances is home security, such as alarm systems, remote-controlled gates and video intercoms with door locking systems.
If you’re looking to add value to your home or just want to make your life a little easier, then maybe you should consider installing some smart home technology in your house too.
