We all love it when everything is done simply and quickly. Whether it’s delivering food to our doorstep rather than going to a restaurant, or using a slow cooker to get food ready for our return from work — simplicity and convenience are two things that everyone likes.
This is what smart home gadgets provide: the ability to lead a simpler, stress-free life. Let’s look at several applications where the smart home system saves the owner’s time.
The accuracy of utility bills
With smart gadgets, you don’t need to wait for a mail receipt or call the counter controller. You do not need to go to the place where the meter is installed. The on-screen readings provide you with accurate real-time information when you need it.
Control over children
With a home automation system, you can easily monitor your children. Make sure they are safely back, let them in without leaving the bedroom. No need to get up and open the door. You can see their comings and goings with security cameras, and make sure that the entrance or porch is lit up when they come home.
This will help you keep them safe and also help you find out what they are doing every day. Very useful for a busy parent.
Remote test
The thought of a pot left on the stove in a hurry in the morning is fraught with lost working hours. You rush home to make sure that the gas is turned off, and the cold iron is peacefully in its place. One of the biggest advantages of a smart home system is that you can use it at any time, whether you are at home or not. Is the bathroom faucet closed? Did I turn off the hall light? Just check the condition of the house over the Internet so you don’t have to come back in person. Peace of mind is achieved by pressing a couple of buttons on your phone.
Lost key
All people are familiar with the situation when we stand in front of a closed door, vainly searching our pockets for the cherished bunch of keys. There are none. You will have to wait for many hours for a locksmith or a relative with a spare set. An intelligent lock will save you from this inconvenience once and for all. It will simply open the door at your approach, finding the owner’s personal smartphone in sight.
Cat under supervision
Leaving your home for 1-2 days, you spend the whole day to “attach” a pet. Upon returning, it takes hours to get it back. It is much more convenient to set up an automatic feeder, and then just use the camera to monitor the animal’s condition. To keep your pet happy, enable video communication and communicate with them in real time using the smart home system monitor. By the way, the camera will also help you monitor the watering and condition of indoor plants.
Of course, smart homes are not able to do all the routine work. However, by performing certain tasks on your behalf, they increase your productivity by saving you time and money.
