It's fabulous how rapid technology is advancing as the day goes. Lots of new, sophisticated yet simple updates are being made, which are proving very helpful to mankind.
This friend of mine, his house, is pretty "smartened up." It was fascinating to see how he did things around his house by giving out voice commands and using an app on his phone. Very convenient, isn't it?
It pretty much simplifies his day and life, generally.
We have a number of these smart home devices these days. There's Siri, Echo, Alexa, and others too.
When it comes to incorporating smart home technology into a dream home, I'm most interested in energy-efficient systems and security features.
Some of my favorites, which I look to incorporate into my home, are:
The motion sensors
This would do a find job of getting me notified if the front doorcamera senses motion, and also making a few seconds of video recorded so I can review it. Would help to know who comes by when I'm not home.
I don't even have to use the light switches for certain light operations. This is especially interesting when you get up in the middle of the night for a drink of water. Having lights just turn on softly (like a night light) to guide you to the kitchen for that drink.
Appliance regulators
I once came across a voice-activated oven, and I thought to myself how cool it was.
The voice-activated oven allows you to control your oven with your voice.
You can tell it what temperature to cook at, how long to cook for, and even what type of food you're cooking. It's really smart. Would be nice not to have to run around turning on/off bulbs, fans, or TV but just issuing voice commands or clicking instructions and having them executed.
Smart cleaner
I'm already as lazy as I can ever get. The smart vacuum cleaner would help save me time and energy of having to do cleanings around my home. Not to forget that it would do amazing work of fishing and taking out the tiniest bit of dust and dirt. There's even the self-cleaning shower that automatically cleans the bathroom after use. That way, I don't have to scrub and wash. This is all so perfect to imagine.
Meanwhile, I imagine how cool it would be to have a smart device that helps me run through my day. Possibly wakes me up in the morning by turning on the lights, opening up the curtains, and playing something from my playlist.
It may as well just function as a timer and reminder that keeps me aligned to my schedules and updated on how well I'm going at my goals for the day.
Technology is just insane!
This is my response to the Digi-Prompts #016 with the topic, your dream smart home gadgets.
