4 smart home automations for some peace and quiet on Mother’s Day
Being a mum can be exhausting, so it’s important to manage your mental load and take some time for yourself to relax – on Mother’s Day, but also in your everyday life, even if it’s not easy.
Having a smart home can help you automate some of your everyday tasks and give you peace of mind so that you’ll have fewer things to worry about. But how can it do that? Here are 4 smart home automations any mum (or parent for that matter) should try:
1. Create a relaxing environment
Your home is your castle, so make sure that it's a nice and comfortable environment – especially if you have children. Of course, it’ll be difficult to always keep your home nice and clean, but the right lights and a comfortable temperature can go a long way for a cozy home.
With a smart home, you can automate your lights and heating to always create the right mood in your home – whether it’s early morning busyness or relaxing late evenings after the kids are in bed.
2. Manage your home appliances effectively
As a parent, you have a lot of things on your mind already. There’s no need to also worry about the electricity consumption of your home appliances and whether you have actually turned them off when you meant to.
Smart home devices like smart plugs allow you to automatically turn off lights and appliances at certain times of the day or set reminders to turn off a certain appliance after you’ve used it.
3. Keep an eye on your kids
Are you worried about your kids getting home safely when you’re at work? With a smart keypad and/or motion sensors in your home, you can get notified when someone is entering your home.
But even if you’re at home, motion sensors can help you keep track of your kids. Do you have any areas in your house (for instance your laundry room) that are not made for children? Install motion sensors in those rooms, and you can get a notification if there are any unauthorized movements in those areas.
4. Opt for a smart home security system
As a parent, one of the main concerns is making sure that nothing happens to your children. Get a smart home security system to protect your home and family from intruders.
The system can include motion sensors and entry sensors to spot intruders when they try to enter your home as well as a smart siren to scare them away before they can do any damage.
