Whether you have a forgetful mind or your lifestyle is going at 200km/h, a smart home is a great tool to live a life of ease! Join me to discover the best smart home tech available out there.
First, let’s explore 4 advantages of a smart home!
1. Save time: Comfort is the main benefit of a smart home, the opportunity to take-off of your plate all the simple daily tasks! Turn off the lights while lying on your couch, have your place vacuum cleaned even while you are gone! What if I tell you that you could set your coffee machine to prepare your coffee every morning at the same hour, just before going to work? All this possibilities are there for you to use them. Are you coming home and you invited your friends for dinner? Are you running out of time and you still need to wait for the oven to warm up? Turn on the oven while you are still driving home to make sure it is on point when you arrive!
2. Save money: Why do you bother checking if you have enough detergent ? Your smart washer will order some extra for you whenever is needed! Do you have crazy mornings running to get to that important meeting on time? Oh wait! Did you forget to turn off the lights again? Don’t worry you can turn them off with your phone even if you are far from home! And how many times have you been in the grocery shop asking yourself “what should I buy” and you do not remember what is missing.Ups! again, did you buy more than you needed? What if I told you that your Smart refrigerator can tell you what is missing? And are you paying way to much for your heating system? A smart thermostat will help you to save energy as well as keep you warm when you are at home and adjust the temperature when no one’s home!
3. Stay safe: Switch to smart smoke and carbon monoxide detectors which connects to your home’s WIFI. The detector will send you an alert to your phone when it notice smoke, carbon monoxide or low batteries. Did you have to ask yourself again, “Did I close the garage door?” then it is the time to get an update, what you may need is a smart garage door opener! You can check your door status and remotely close and open the door whenever you want! And how does a smart lock sound like? Are you coming home with your hands full of bags and you can not find your keys? Unlock your door with your smartphone and get alerts of general activity but also forced entry!
And last but not least!
4. Have fun: Movie night and you want to turn on the TV while lying on the couch? Voice-controlled devices will help you to do that. Adjust the light for a date night, play some romantic music just with your voice command or your phone sound pretty cool! Or would you like to adjust your light depending on the season? Maybe some spooky lightning for Halloween and Christmas feels better with red and green lights, right? If you are the party type and you love to dance, what about creating a dancefloor in your apartment? Just create a ultimate light show with your digital assistant and smart lights! Dancing is not your thing? What about games? Alexa-enabled device have a list of options for you! Trivia? Bingo? Charades?
So many possibilities out there! So let’s start this journey to discover how can you save money, time, stay safe and have fun with smart home technology! And don’t worry you do not need to re-build your home, in fact many of those are cheap and easy to install!
Stay tuned because there is more coming!

Interestingly written article, Isabela! I am wondering how safe those technologies are in terms of data privacy as I can imagine that applications with voice recognition will also collect lots of personal user data. Are you planning a blogpost on this as well? I would love to know more about it.

It is important to mention that all this technology not only makes your life easier, but also allows you to invest this time that you save in your family, enjoying your parents, siblings, children, partner, grandparents, or your friends. The most important thing about technology is that we know how to take advantage of it to unite us with other people, to shorten distances, to strengthen personal relationships through personal and verbal communication, to interrelate with loved ones. Let us take advantage of the new tools that science gives us to love, build and contribute to humanity on the most important issues, human relations.
