3 ways in which a smart home can be useful for you
Ever heard someone say that smart homes are just for playing around? If yes, they probably don’t have much experience with smart homes.
Cause smart devices can help you save time and money by monitoring your power consumption and automating your home, and they can help protect your home and loved ones from uninvited guests. Now that we would call useful, right?
Explore 3 ways in which a smart home can be useful:
- Lower your energy spending
- Protect your home and family
- Save time with home automation
1. Lower your energy spending
Smart home devices can help you monitor your energy consumption, spot which appliances use up the most energy, and know which devices to turn off to save money on electricity costs.
Connect a Smart Plug Mini or Smart Cable to your appliances, and it’ll reveal your most thirsty appliances. You can also set times at which specific appliances (like your TV or game console) should be turned off to avoid stand-by consumption.
2. Protect your home and family
By installing smart motion or entry sensors, you can monitor who enters your home at what time. Via your hub, you can get a notification if there’s movement at home when you’re away, or you can be reassured that your kids got home from school safely.
If you have an elderly family member, you can also use the sensors to monitor their activity and get notified if there is a lack of movement.
3. Save time with home automation
By automating your home, you can make lights turn on automatically when it gets dark outside, when you enter a room, or when you come home after a long day at work.
What is more, the lights can also turn off automatically when you leave your home, so you don’t have to run to the first-floor bathroom, because you forgot to turn the lights off.
But it’s not just lighting you can automate. You can also set your blinds to open or close when you want them to, turn on the heating in advance so that you arrive in a warm home, or connect your speakers to play music at set times – there are no limits.
Does that sound like something that could be useful for you?
