Thinking of making improvements to your home? Consider installing smart home features to enhance day-to-day comfort, convenience, and security.
- Smart home panel
- Smart heating and cooling
- Smart home humidifier
- Water leak and mold detection
- Digital home locks
Switch off the lights, turn off the TV, and lock doors through a touch-screen panel instead of going through the house flipping switches and double-checking the doors and windows. A smart home panel lets you access just about everything in your home in one place. This smart home feature allows you to manage security, lighting, and communications in every area of the property with a few taps.
A smart home management panel can be installed onto your bedroom or office wall for added convenience. It can also be installed in gathering spaces, such as the dining room or living area, to provide easy access to all household members.
The newest smart thermostats in the market often have advanced customization features, such as the ability to adjust home temperature on its own based on previous data and history. If you adjust the thermostat to cool your home in the day and have it be warmer at night, a smart thermostat will learn your usage patterns and automatically adjust the temperature at various times of the day. It can also shut off automatically when the house is empty.
There are also smart thermostats that have multiple remote sensors allowing you to customize the temperature in different rooms. Another option would be smart vents that function similarly to thermostats by sensing and adjusting the temperature in different rooms.
Smart fans can keep you cool in the summer. These fans have motion sensors that can detect the presence of people in the room, automatically switching on and off depending on household activity. They also adjust fan speed on their own in order to maintain the right temperature.
If you’re sensitive to dry air, consider installing a whole home smart humidifier system to stay comfortable in dry weather. A wifi-enabled smart home humidifier can be accessed and controlled remotely with a smartphone or tablet for your convenience. It can also be attached to your home’s water supply so you won’t have to manually refill it.
Water damage and mold can cause issues with your home and affect your quality of life. Smart water and mold sensors can help you spot issues early and take preventive action. For example, installing a leak detector in the most vulnerable areas of the home, such as the bathroom, basement, and beneath the sink, will alert you of potential problems.
Consider getting a smart lock for the main door if you’re constantly losing or forgetting your keys. Digital locks come with both keyed and keyless entry, which means that you can enter your home with a code or smartphone permissions if you ever forget your keys. Advanced smart locks also come with enhanced security features such as automatic relocking and wireless alerts if there is ever a break-in.
