The sad truth is that many of us don’t like change. We prefer to stick with tried and tested ways of doing stuff in our lives. But, what such people miss out on is innovative and more efficient alternatives. One such example is how we do things at home.
Here are six compelling examples where modern technology can revolutionize your home. Check them out below:
1. Smart Heating Thermostat
Let’s set the scene. It’s a cold and wet winter’s day, and you’re stuck at work. The thought of leaving your warm office and going to a cold and empty house isn’t an appealing one. With a smart heating thermostat, you can turn the heat on BEFORE you get home! How? By using a simple mobile app connected to your Internet-enabled thermostat, of course!
- Smart Door Entry System
We all want to keep our homes safe and secure. A modern way to do that is with a smart door entry system. It can record video and audio of people that approach your door. And you can use your smartphone to enter, negating the need for a physical key.
- Powerline Networking
Don’t want to have lots of network cables routed through your home? Are you fed up of Wi-Fi dead spots in some rooms? No problem – just use powerline networking! They are plugs that go into your power sockets. One of them gets connected to your Internet router. The others connect to computers, switches, and Wi-Fi hotspots.
- Central Locking
Your car will no doubt have power locks that allow you to open or close your locks with a key fob. Did you know that you can do the same with your home too?
- Climate Control
You can get a modern HVAC system installed in your home. As with your car, you just set the desired room temperature. The climate control system takes care of the rest. Now there’s no need to adjust heating and cooling controls manually!
- Solar Power
Why pay for your electricity and hot water when the sun can give it to you for free? Solar installations are on the rise in the US, thanks, in part, to falling prices. The infographic below tells us more about the subject:
