The concept of a smart home emerged through various advances in technology from a dream that once seemed to be of the future. With creative gadgets and devices galore, owners can now turn their homes into connected and intelligent personal space. Here are some ‘must-haves’ by room in the house, smart tech solutions and what the smart home of the future will look like:.
Living Room: Entertainment Evolved
The living room has always been the hub of a house, where people gather to relax and entertain themselves and take it easy. The entertainment system in a smart home of the future turns into the cynosure, absorbing humans in its audiovisual delight and even seamlessly connecting them. Voice-controlled smart TVs and native streaming enable you to access your favorite show or movie with the sound of your voice. You could really get into movie night by adjusting the lighting, changing the volume, and even searching for movie recommendations with your voice from the couch. Other soundbars, with integrated virtual assistants such as Alexa or Google Assistant, can create a surround-sound-like experience, allowing you hands-free playback, volume adjustment, and the playing of music. You will be able to set the mood in the living room just as desired with smart lighting systems. Dim the lights for a movie marathon, set them brighter for game nights, or turn down the lights and set up a relaxing atmosphere with a warm color temperature-the possibilities are endless.
Bedroom: A Haven for Restful Sleep
The bedroom is the sanctum sanctorum of rest and comfort, and there’s much that smart home technology can do to make it even more comfortable and rest-conducive. Smart mattresses are considering a revolution in the way we sleep, having built-in sensors and the capability for sleep tracking. Such a high-tech mattress can monitor your pattern of sleep through the night, including the duration, how well you sleep, and disturbances in sleep. Having all this data in possession empowers smart mattresses to analyze such data and provide personalized insights and recommendations to optimize sleep over time and improve sleep hygiene. Just imagine waking up to a report detailing your cycles of sleep, complete with recommendations to help you improve your sleeping environment or even your daily routine.
Moreover, smart lighting solutions help one monitor or even regulate his or her sleep-wake cycles. Smart bulbs can simulate natural sunlight. In the evening, lights can be dimmed gradually to suggest to the body it is time to retire. During morning hours, they ramp up, simulating the sun rising process to wake up in a much more organic feeling and fashion. Also, smart alarm clocks that have the wake-up light therapy can wake you up from your sleep with increasing light instead of the beeping or buzzing that is unpleasantly loud.
Kitchen: The Heart of the House-Where the Magic Happens in Cooking
The kitchen is regarded as the heart of every home, where meals are prepared, shared, and taken with family and loved ones. In the smart home of the future, kitchen appliances are no longer just about cooking; they’re smart companions for convenience, efficiency, and connectivity as never before. Smart fridges come with integrated touchscreens and cameras that keep you in view regarding groceries inside, create shopping lists accordingly for your inventory, and even access some recipes using those ingredients at your disposal. Imagine going to the grocery store and then checking your phone to see what you need, or turning on the oven from the road so that you are ready to cook as soon as you arrive.
These remote-access smart ovens will offer a level of precision in convenience that has simply not been available. Set the oven to preheat while wrapping things up at work or check in on your roast from your phone while you’re attending to your guests. The kitchen gadgets alone, from Wi-Fi coffee makers that start brewing your perfect cup in conjunction with your wake-up time to smart scales that instantly calculate the nutritional information for all of your ingredients, and sous-vide machines that ensure perfection with every meal-everything just adds to a more efficient and enjoyable cooking experience in the smart kitchen.
Bathroom: A Spa-Like Oasis at Your Command
The bathroom is the place of rest and restoration, and intelligent home technology may raise this to an oasis-like quality. In smart mirrors, built-in displays and touch controls give new meaning to the morning routine. Visualize waking up every morning in front of a mirror that shows personalized routines in skincare, gives weather updates as one gets ready, or even streams news hands-free while teeth are being brushed.
Where smart shower systems boast programmable temperature and water pressure that allow for an ideal shower environment, smart shower systems will boast such innovative programmable temperature and water pressure. Imagine stepping into a shower where the ideal temperature and pressure were just what you wanted to start off melting away stress. Voice assistants, either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, will be integrally built into your bathroom fixtures to enable you to turn lights on and off, play music, and even set time using only your voice to make your morning routine much smoother and enjoyable.
