Home automation is becoming more popular than ever and for good reason. With the rise of technology and affordable smart options, you can now live in the future without needing a fortune. If you want to make your home easier to live in while having the coolest tech around look no further. We have put together some of the best items to make your home work for you. Check them out below!
- Lighting
Most homes have an abundance of ceiling lights and lamps that can take forever to switch off. Wiring all of your lighting to be controlled via electronic keypads is a great way to ensure that you don’t have to wander around your home flicking off switch after switch. Although it may seem a large expense to initially outlay, you can actually save money by automating your lighting as you can turn them on or off without being in the house so there will be no more dramas if you head out for work without remembering to turn off all the lights!
- Locks
Home security is most people’s priority. Keeping your private haven safe and your gadgets guarded can now be super easy. Smart locks mean you can forgo the jangling bunch of keys and instead enter your home at the touch of a button or press a thumbprint. You can even let your kids inside if you’re out and about when they get home from school. Most smart lock systems are combined with video equipment that will record all comings and goings from your home so if an intruder does manage to get into your home, you’ll have the whole thing on camera for the police and your insurance company. You can even link up your locks with the rest of your house’s automation so that the heating turns off when you leave and the lighting kicks in as you get home. Welock can help you to install the smart lock on your door.
- Window Dressings
The battle of fighting over who will close the curtains is no longer. Having automated curtain tracks and electric blinds will mean that you can close up at the touch of a button from your bed. Some systems even have timers so that you can set them to open and close whilst you’re on vacation, adding an extra level of security to your home.
- Refrigerator
Image a robot refrigerator that can let you know what items you’re running low on and even let you know what you need when you’re at the store buying new groceries? Well, you can stop dreaming because these fridges actually exist. New generation refrigerators can use technology to scan the barcodes of the food inside and let you know when food is about to expire then send an alert to your phone so you know what you need. No more forgetting to pick up that bottle of milk or block of cheese!
