Ever wished your home would respond to your voice commands? If the answer is affirmative, you’re in for a treat! Smart home devices make our lives easier and more enjoyable. So, let’s explore a few examples of smart technologies.

Smart speakers listen carefully to what you are saying and then answer your questions, play your favorite music, and can even add events to your calendar.

Smart thermostats help keep your home cool or warm, depending on the season, while saving energy. You can program a smart thermostat to pre-heat your home one hour before you arrive, for example.

Smart lights can be turned on and off using voice commands or apps installed on your mobile phone. You can adjust their brightness, color, and even make them dim automatically in the evening to help you prepare for sleep.

Finally, smart security cameras can help you keep an eye on what’s happening while you are away, and even trigger alarms if an intruder tries to access a supervised perimeter. AI-based security cameras can recognize familiar faces and only trigger alarms when unknown persons approach your home.

The good news is that you can start with a smart home hub and a single smart device – an electric light bulb, for example. Then, as your needs grow and money flows in, you’ll be able to buy more devices and add them to the same hub.
