4 features every smart home should have
The possibilities are endless when it comes to smart home features. Here you’ll get a list of 4 highly useful features that every smart home should include.
With these features as part of your smart home, you’ll always be able to keep an eye on your property and loved ones – and you might even save money on your electricity spending:
- Home security
- Fire detection
- Energy monitoring
- Water leak detection
Home security
A burglar in your home is everyone’s worst nightmare. Your loved ones could be in significant danger, your belongings could be stolen from you, and your privacy would be violated.
For these reasons, it‘s of high value and great importance to include security features in your smart home. With just a few devices, you can be sure that your home will never be unsupervised – even when you’re not there.
With the frient Entry Sensor, you get immediate alerts on your smartphone when someone opens a window or door. The frient Motion Sensor warns you if movement is detected inside your home. With these devices, you can quickly call for help to catch the intruder and protect your home and family.
Fire detection
With smart home devices, you can take fire detection to the next level. In addition to getting the standard fire warning with a loud sound when you’re at home, you’ll get an instant notification on your smartphone when you’re away. This way, you can react immediately to make sure everybody’s safe and the fire is fought as soon as possible.
Install the frient Intelligent Smoke Alarm in your home and get notified wherever you are.
Even though fire safety is the number one priority, it can be quite annoying if the smoke alarm in the kitchen is triggered when you’re in the middle of preparing a lovely meal for your friends and family, right?
With the frient Intelligent Heat Alarm, you’ll get fire warnings while avoiding false smoke alarms as the device is triggered by heat levels instead of smoke. Check out the Intelligent Heat Alarm here.
Energy monitoring
A smart home provides you with the possibility to reduce your electricity consumption.
The first step to reducing your consumption is knowing how much you actually use and when your consumption is at its highest. If you’re aware of consumption peaks, you’ll know when you should make changes to reduce them.
By equipping your electricity meter with the frient Electricity Meter Interface, you’ll get a real-time overview of how much electricity you’re using on your smartphone. You can also see when you’re using the most electricity, allowing you to take a closer look at why your consumption peaks when it does.
Water leak detection
Last but not least, water leak detection is an important addition to any smart home. Time is everything when it comes to water damage. If a leak goes unnoticed, the damage quickly becomes very costly.
Why not use your smart home to prevent such damage?
With water sensors placed in areas of your home where there’s a high risk of leaks or flooding, you’ll get notified instantly and remotely when a leak occurs.
The frient Water Leak Detector makes a loud sound when it detects water and triggers a smartphone notification, making sure you’re warned no matter where you are.
Please note that all frient devices require a compatible hub.
