Smart technology is taking over, and for a good reason. It greatly improves the quality of our lives and helps us thrive in a fast-paced environment. This is even more true of our appliances, most of which already possess smart capabilities. That said, we must ask ourselves, what else is on the horizon? There are so many changes that it’s hard to keep up with them all, but don’t worry. We have you covered. Check out our short list of the future of the smart home and what to expect below.
AI-Powered Laundry
How cool does that sound? There are so many reasons to install smart appliances in your home. One of them is the technological advancements you’ll be able to take advantage of. There are laundry appliances that can sense fabric type, load size, and even how soiled an item of clothing is. After the sensors work, the machines automatically uses the ideal amount of wash style and detergent for the best care possible. This is amazing because it saves you time trying to figure it out manually and saves you money on detergent in the long run since it’s more efficient. Your linens and clothes will be fresh.
Hands-Free Handles
It may sound like an oxymoron, but hands-free handles are the best way to mitigate the spread of germs. The discussions surrounding the pandemic might have died down, but technology’s preoccupation with germs hasn’t. One of the latest innovations in that field allows users to control a faucet’s temperature and water flow with a simple hand motion rather than touching the handle. This is essential for our health and wellness since faucet handles are some of the dirtiest places in the home, other than toilets and doorknobs. This is a great example of what to expect in the future of the smart home.
Smart Blinds
Smart blinds may seem like something out of a movie, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Some advancements allow you to control blinds through a phone app. You can also set a time when they’ll move up and down, making your life even easier. You can do so using voice-activated assistants, such as Google Voice or Alexa. There are even apps you can use with Apple HomeKit that will allow you to control it with your voice if the app takes too long to pull up. These are just a few technological advancements you may incorporate in a smart home soon. We can’t wait to see what’s coming next.
