Some decades back, smart home accessories were something close to a wild imagination. When box-like television screens were dripped in shades of black and white and air conditioners didn’t even come with a remote. However, in this technological era, it has become a reality. Your AC’s respond to the commands of your voice and your smartphone is your remote. 

Increase of Tech Devices

There has been a growing use of smart home devices recently and have become one of the most emerging trends of this year. We’ve already met Amazon’s Alexa and other assistant speakers. Similarly, there are hundreds of other devices with the same technology ready to elevate your life experience to the max! With Amazon launching more echo devices, we can confidently predict that smart home technology may take over us completely and make our lives easier by solving problems we didn’t realize were troubling us. Let us help you dive into this innovative world of technology by reviewing these devices that you may not realize are essential in your everyday life. 

Smart Speakers

You may start hearing phrases such as “Alexa”, “Okay Google” or “Hey Siri” more often now that Amazon and Google are continuously developing virtual assistants. Nowadays, talking to your virtual servant on your phone has become a norm we all must admit to becoming dependent on. Though in 2020, you will see this virtual presence taking over your entire house. You can now command your living room to do its chores on its own, literally. With the development of Google Home, Amazon Echo, and Apple’s Homepod, you now have the power to control the electronics of your home while lying in bed. Want the lights on but the switch is not near your reach? No worries, your virtual assistant will do it for you. 

Smart Energy Saving Devices

Save energy, save earth. This has become a common debate of 2019 with an increasing amount of climate awareness due to heavy levels of global warming taking place. Hence smart home is here to help you save energy while also providing a comfortable environment to live in. Plugs with an attached power monitor will keep your energy use in control with the help of the SmartLife app. This will enable you to keep track of your devices’ energy consumption easily. 

Further, the use of smart lights will also help you to save energy quite effectively. These come with LED technology and can be accessed through your smartphones. Forgot to turn the lights off while leaving the house in a hurry? With a tap on your phone’s screen, your problem is solved! 

Smart Video Doorbells 

We’re all familiar with smart surveillance cameras for our house’s safety, though not a lot of us are exposed to the wondrous technology of smart video doorbells. Not only do they provide you with the facility to watch over the activities going on outside your door, but you will also be informed of who’s outside and when. An unexpected visitor, a delivery person or even a friend – you’ll get an instant notification on your phone. Yes, it’s real and it’s here! 

It will be a wise decision to consider replacing your old ways of living and add smartness to your life. 

High Tech Kitchen

It might be hard to believe that technology has advanced so greatly that even our kitchens are equipped with this phenomenon. Though, it might not be too much of a surprise to this tech-savvy generation. With the introduction of GE’s Kitchen Hub, you can now surf the Internet, create shopping lists and look for recipes on its 27-inch smart touch screen. Additionally, you can also control other electronics of your house including the thermostat, lights and even the door locks. 

To conclude, 2020 is the year of new smart house trends making our lives easier and more efficient. This booming age of tech devices has swept this generation into its practicalities and we can only expect further progression from here.
