We have already talked about Smart Home options and advantages that can make your life much more comfortable and easier. Being completely customizable, a smart home system can be tailored to suite all your specific wants and needs, and that is exactly what FigyTech experts can deliver – your personal smart home experience. That is why today we are going into details, presenting you some of the possible ideas for your smart home.
SMART LIGHTS
Smart lights are one of the fundamentals of your future automation home. They can automatically turn on or off, or you can even schedule a time for it. Combined with some other smart accessories, you can even achieve advanced performance. Some of the ideas for smart lighting are:
- Conserve energy by setting your lights on low brightness
- Schedule you lights to slowly dim before bedtime
- Program all the lights to automatically turn off when nobody is in the house
- Morning wake up with lights
- Connect your lighting system with a TV and automatically adjust times for bright and dimmed light
SMART THERMOSTAT
Control your indoor temperature at any time, by optimizing heat through apps such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Apple Siri, and save some money while doing so. Some ideas for smart thermostat:
- Set the temperature on the app, prior to your arrival home
- Get notifications for scheduled heat maintenance
- Get notifications through motion sensors about presence in the house, as well as humidity level
SMART LOCKS
One of people’s favorite smart home devices is smart lock since it can make life easier without adding to the confusion. It’s a terrific way to track who’s opened the door and when they’ve opened it. When you return home, some smart locks will also automatically unlock. Some ideas:
- You can create different lock codes for different people ( kids, guests, family etc).
- Set your door to lock when a certain period of time has passed.
- You may set intervals between 30 seconds and one hour with most smart locks.
- Combine it with smart lights, so the lights automatically turn off when the door is locked
SMART SENSORS
Door and window sensors aren't particularly useful on their own, but when combined with a smart home platform (Alexa, Google, Siri) and another smart home device, they become rather useful. Motion, water, and multifunctional sensors are all available. Some ideas:
- Receive real time notifications when sensors detect a movement in or around your home
- These notifications can be really handy especially if there’s a gas leak for example
- Notification when the front door or some cabinet doors inside the house are left open (applies for windows as well)
SMART VACUUMS
Although being very popular lately, robot vacuum cleaners can’t completely replace a good old fashioned manual vacuum process. However, they are getting better and better each year. With smart addition, you can program your robot vacuum to act exactly when and how you wish. Some ideas:
- Program your vacuum to start cleaning after you leave the house, so you don’t have to hear the noise
- Program your robot to pause cleaning while you are having a phone call
