Smart Home Technology:
The Future is Here
We are living in a digital world. An exciting time to be alive. In this age of digital connectivity, the smart home was born. The Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G are on the horizon and now is the perfect time to talk about smart technology and how it will integrate into the 21st century home.
Bluetooth Technology
This enables digital devices to talk to each other and without it, the smart home would not exist; sending data in zeros and ones (at the speed of light) is possible with the right hardware in place. A secure cloud network is created for your home devices and a central computer manages everything and is fully programmable. Simply set your fridge to automatically defrost, configure the home theatre to record your favorite TV show and 45 minutes before you arrive home, the oven will fire up and dinner will be ready to serve!
Remote Viewing
We aren’t talking astral projection; rather the ability to view the perimeter of your property via the video surveillance cameras; yes, your smart home is online and using an app, you can check that all is quiet at home, even when you are holidaying abroad. You can even be notified if someone comes calling, no matter where you are. In the event a stranger rang the front bell, an AI generated voice would politely enquire as to their intention and their reply is recorded and sent to your mobile device.
Climate Control
The smart home has a very efficient climate control HVAC system with cutting-edge heat exchangers and accurate thermostats. Using an app, you can program your climate control system from any location; a/c units shut down after you have fallen asleep and won’t come on until the time you set.
GPS Tracking
Of course, all family vehicles would have a sensor on the front grid that causes the gates to open and close as you come and go. If you are driving and your smart home wants to communicate, your phone will ring! This means you are always connected to your smart home, even when driving down the interstate highway! Using a 4G network, you have global coverage and that is a real game-changer.
Clean & Renewable Energy
The 21st century smart home is not connected to the national power grid, rather it is powered by an efficient solar energy system. The homeowner can access the control panel remotely and adjust accordingly. Every room in the house can be zoned off, saving valuable energy and the latest generation of solar panels can harvest energy on cloudy days! You can use energy directly from the panels or from the lithium batteries, it’s your choice. The system is set up so you always have enough power to manage the home and should there ever be any issues, you are automatically notified.
The smart home is a glimpse into the future, when humanity merges with AI to bring a new dimension of life.
