Smart House systems suggest that you can control various devices using one remote control (most often a conventional smartphone or tablet is turned into such a remote control). You can connect a lot of subsystems to the system, for example, heating, door locks, light bulbs, tracking cameras, etc. p. In addition to the fact that all these subsystems can be adjusted remotely from one remote control, in addition to this, they can be configured so that they work automatically or that you can control them remotely. Work in automatic mode in this case means a lot of things: from independent adjustment of devices to your lifestyle to their smart work, oriented by sensors or a customizable algorithm.
You may also have heard such a term as “Internet of things” or IoT when it comes to home automation and smart home with smart devices. This phrase popular today means the concept of interaction of technology with each other. The concept itself is quite complicated and can be considered on different scale, but the term is now most often used by home equipment manufacturers to indicate its ability to connect to the application on your smartphone or tablet to manage this equipment remotely. Most often in the product card that can be connected to the application on the phone, they now write: “The concept of the Internet of things” or “IoT”. Many things, from lighting devices to conditioning and cooking coffee, are now produced with smartnesses, that is, with the ability to work in the concept of the Internet of things. In other words, you can buy a smart coffee maker and configure it for cooking coffee to turn on your alarm clock on the phone. Nevertheless, this does not mean that all coffee makers with the IoT function will have similar opportunities – everything will depend on the application that is developed for this coffee maker. For example, smart Redmond coffee makers are controlled through the Ready For Sky application. You can study this application in advance before buying a particular coffee maker and see what opportunities this or that coffee maker model provides when working with the application. Similarly, it is worth doing with many other gadgets that you buy for a smart home.
Among smart devices for the home you can find:
– household appliances, such as ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. p.
– Lighting devices and electrical appliances such as thermostats, radiator valves, electric bulbs, switches, etc. p.
– devices for security and protection, such as surveillance cameras, motion sensors, alarm, etc. p.
– Home health devices, including fitness devices, scales, air cleaners, etc. p.
You will be surprised, but new smart gadgets are produced almost daily, but are constantly eliminated on the market because they are useless, in comparison with more complex devices of approximately the same configuration and with the same functions.
The market of smart devices for a smart home is relatively young, but the competition on it is now quite large. If you buy something too early in this market, then ultimately find yourself with an expensive toy with a short expiration date. That is why you need to invest in smart home products wisely and miscalculate, listing and counting their advantages and disadvantages. Ultimately, you should definitely think about whether the smart gadget will benefit in the long run – many smart devices are really useful, for example, some smart air conditioners allow you to seriously save and at the same time constantly maintain the ideal temperature level for a particular user.
