Hello World! Welcome Friends! Pop culture has tried to predict what our future high-tech world could look like for decades. While flying cars and robot butlers haven’t become a part of everyday life, 21st-century homes are becoming more and more digitally connected every year. Voice-activated digital assistants have made it easier to do simple, daily tasks like turning lights on and off. Appliances of all types can be connected to Wi-Fi and controlled from your smartphone. If you’re ready to bring your home into the next century, consider investing in these six high-tech furnishings for your home.
A Smart Fridge
Suppose you’re someone who’s terrified of opening up your refrigerator and confronting the expired leftovers in the back of your refrigerator. In that case, a smart fridge may be a wise investment for you. While smart fridges may not have been as widely available in the past, now, it’s easy to find one at your local appliance store or online retailers like Goedeker’s (https://www.goedekers.com/).
Many smart fridges allow you to label your groceries via smartphone before you put them away. As the expiration date approaches, your fridge can provide you with recipes using ingredients you own that are about to expire. Additionally, smart fridges often come with remote monitoring systems. They can alert you when their temperature rises above average and allow you to troubleshoot issues from your phone.
Induction Charging Countertops
Owning a smartphone used to mean keeping track of all of your USB cords and toting them around from room to room whenever you needed to charge up. However, these days, the evolution of smartphones and tablets has led to sleeker forms of charging, like induction charging. If you’re someone who finds themselves tethered to the nearest outlet, consider introducing induction charging into countertops and tabletops in your home, like the kitchen.
Imagine cooking and referencing a recipe on your phone when you suddenly receive a low battery alert. With induction charging countertops, rather than leaving your food unattended on the stove while you run to find a cord, you can simply place your phone on your counter to charge. There are no wires or need for a convenient outlet.
Smart Door Locks
Keeping track of your keys can be a hassle. Your keychain never seems to be where you left it, and making extra house keys for a neighbor before going on vacation can be time-consuming and costly. With a smart lock, you never have to worry about physical keys again. When you come home at night, there’s no need to fumble in the dark for your keyhole, and forgetting to lock the door behind you after leaving is a problem of the past.
Simply pull out your phone, and you can lock or unlock your door from wherever you are. You can also monitor when your doors are opened, making it easier to be alerted of possible break-in attempts or track when your children arrive home. Home security is simply a breeze with smart locks.
Picture Frame Smart TV
When your TV isn’t in use, it hangs on the wall or sits on your console as a blank, black mirror. While most people are used to having a blank TV screen in their living rooms, technology manufacturers have begun creating smart TVs that double as art when not in use. These televisions have a frame around their displays and are often mounted flush with the wall to emulate a framed piece of art. When turned off, you can set the TV to a power-saving art mode, where rather than a black screen, the display shows a piece of artwork or a photo. This futuristic feature is more than just high-tech — it also lends your home a sense of luxury and class.
Smart Thermostat
Keeping your energy bill down can be a battle, especially during hot summer months when the bliss of air conditioning is hard to resist. Always remembering to turn off your A/C when your family is out of the house can be challenging, and you’ll end up shouldering the steep financial consequences. With a smart thermostat, you’ll never need to worry about leaving your home’s heating and cooling systems in a money-sucking state. You can adjust your thermostat easily from your smartphone and even set up schedules for your thermostat to adhere to. This remote monitoring ability keeps you and your family in a comfortable environment while you’re at home and helps you save energy when you’re out.
Integrated Smart Home Hub
If you’ve purchased a plethora of smart appliances to turn your home high-tech, you might be struggling to keep up with every appliance’s individual apps. Your smart home ecosystem can be hard to keep up with, and that’s where an integrated smart home hub can help. A smart home hub allows you to combine all of your smart products into one device. Your hub can control all of your products without you needing to use different devices for different appliances. To avoid worrying about whether third-party smart home brands are compatible with your hub, choose a single smart home system to purchase products from.
The Bottom Line
A smart home is no longer a fictional dream. From smart washers to smart refrigerators, your home can be fully automated and remotely monitored to make everyday life much simpler. Begin building your futuristic home ecosystem today, and you can begin living in the high-tech home of your dreams.
