6 must have smart home features

If you are a technophile, you must have considered turning your home into a smart automated home. When we think of smart home, we think of a home with multiple smart features like smart lighting, multi room entertainment, automatic climate control, smart security system, dedicated home cinema etc. Last couple of years, smart home technology has improved a lot. In this blog post, we will be discussing about most trendy smart home features of recent times.

Automation technologies have made it possible for home owners to enjoy the ultimate entertainment system thanks to multi room Audio Video distribution technology. Now, everyone in your family can listen to and control the tunes they want from any room of your home. If you are having a party, you can play your favourite playlist in your entire house.

Best feature of a smart home is its intelligent climate control system. Ask yourself, how many times have you woke up in the middle of the night to turn off the heater when it gets too hot? The answer is far too many times. In a smart home, you can expect to have an intelligent climate control system. The sensors placed in your entire home constantly monitor temperature of each room of your home. If any room gets too cold or too hot, the intelligent system controls your AC and heating sources to adjust them automatically, so you can enjoy your favourite temperature all year long. No more waking up in the middle of the night.

Who does not hate opening or closing window blinds using the chain they come with? It gets super annoying easily and a lot of time these chains get tangled up and makes your day miserable. To turn your home smart, you need to fix this. Good news is, now you can replace your old manual window blinds with motorised blinds. The best part about this is you can connect them with your home automation system and control them using your app or keypad. So, forget struggling with chains, just press a button and the blind will open/close automatically, how cool is that?

Since the initiation of the idea of a smart home, lighting control has always been the main feature. Now people are no longer satisfied with just being able to turn lights on and off using an app or remote, instead, people are looking for smart lighting system. Using these smart lights, you can change colours based on your mood and schedule them. If you have specific lighting demand while watching a movie, you can create a lighting scene for movie time and activate the scene using your app or voice.

Heard a door bell? Why bother going all the way to the door? Just open your phone, look at the camera, talk to the visitor using your smart intercom and control the access. The best part of this smart feature is that you can control the access even when you are away. Whenever the door bell is pressed, a notification is automatically sent to your phone or smart watch. So no more missing deliveries.

Another very popular feature of this year is motorised TV system. TV’s are getting larger and smarter. Often people find them mismatching with their interior design. For that reason, they choose to motorise their TV using motorised TV lift and hide them within their bed or TV cabinet. So you can keep them hidden and bring them out whenever you want using a remote or app.
