Smart Home Devices Available To You
When it comes to smart home installations, the only limitation is your imagination. We love hearing about the different goals and dreams each homeowner has for how smart home devices could elevate their living standards. And to get you started on planning out your next smart home installation, here are just a few of the hundreds of ways smart home devices can impact your home.
Smart Lighting
Have you ever walked into your home from the car at night after realizing you forgot to turn on the outdoor lights before you left? Or have you ever gotten all snuggled into your bed only to realize there are at least three sets of lights still on? Wouldn’t it be so nice if those things could just take care of themselves? Well, now they can! With smart home lighting, you can fully customize and schedule your lighting needs. Want warm, ambient lighting when you first wake up in the morning? Want your outdoor lights to turn themselves on at a certain time in the early evening? Easy! Want mood lighting or colored lighting that you can control with just a few taps on your phone? No problem! Smart lights can be fully scheduled to whatever works best for you, and they can also be operated and customized from your phone. Never let an inconvenient light bother you again. Replace your current lighting with smart home lighting installation and have full control of your lights wherever you go.
Smart House Security
One of the most amazing and beneficial advancements made in smart home technology is undoubtedly smart home security. What started as simple in-home cameras that could watch the doorstep has now turned into fully automated systems that can monitor multiple areas of your home, both interior and exterior, and help keep you safe in many different circumstances. There are varying levels of smart home security systems. Some homeowners opt for a traditional alarm system where the points of entry are monitored once the alarm is set, and the alarm goes off should one of those points of entry be breached. Most of the alarm systems now identify the local authorities if the alarm does go off. But this tends to be the bare minimum of security features.
Some systems include a doorbell camera that can detect when a package is delivered or if someone is lingering around the front door. It can also act as an intercom if you need to talk to someone at the front door while you are away from your home. Again, these features tend to be standard with most smart home security systems. Another neat feature is floodlights that also record specific areas of your exterior. In many cases, these are pointed at vehicles that stay outdoors overnight. If someone is ever noticed sneaking around your car, the floodlight turns on, the camera records the individual, and an announcement can even be made that the lurker is being recorded. These all act as deterrents to people who may have unsavory plans for your vehicle.
Smart Thermostat
It’s normal for your desired temperature to change throughout the day, especially in seasons with broad temperature ranges. If you’ve ever wished that your thermostat could just know what you want the temperature to be, you’re in luck. Smart thermostats can track your thermostat trends and start predicting what you want the temperature to be at any given time. This goes beyond simply creating a schedule for your thermostat to stick to. It can notice trends in how you control the thermostat based on time of day, time of month, and what the temperature is outside. Once these trends have been analyzed, the smart home thermostat can begin adjusting the temperature based on what it predicts you would prefer. Even cooler, this thermostat also takes environmental concerns into consideration. If you have scheduled your home to get cooler at night, a smart home thermostat can slowly begin lowering the temperature little by little at certain intervals to make sure that your home is cooled in the most energy-efficient way possible. Not only is this great for the environment, but it can also help you save on your electric bill!
Smart Pools and Hot Tubs
Are you tired of constantly having to take chemical readings in your home pool or hot tub? Is it hard for you to remember exactly what to add based on what the reading is? Worry no more with smart pool and hot tub innovations! Now, you can install a device that not only automatically reads the chlorine and pH levels of your pool, but this device can also release the correct chemicals into the pool in response to those readings! Say goodbye to carefully measuring each chemical and dipping your arm in freezing cold water to get a sample. Let your smart home take care of it for you. Some models even include a way to help regulate the temperature in your pool, making it easier to use for longer each year.
