How To Make Your Home Smart In This Technological Era

By Carl Davis


Security has become a major concern in the world. The good old lock and key have become almost useless in the face of a determined intruder. However, technology has come to the rescue. There are doors that recognize the residents and just open upon their approach. Some cameras that recognize faces and announce the arrival. These are all dandy. At some point in life, you will need a dummy guide on how to make your home smart.

One should take a tour of the house first. This probably sounds stupid because it is home, every nook and cranny is known. This will not be a regular tour. Visit every room and visualize exactly what technology could do for each. It could be smart bulbs for the bar. These change color according to the prompt. On party night, it could give a red hue or just a soft yellow for that mellow drink.

Once this is done, the list can be divided into two with one grouping being all about practicality and necessity and the other about luxury. The practical list should be addressed first. It will have things like security features. Face recognition cameras, for example, would be great to weed out intruders. Of course, this would take precedence over a house robot.

Once the above step is complete, it is time to draw up a budget. Now, financial capability varies. A budget ensures that one does not get unnecessary gadgets and leaving out those that could actually be of use. The internet will provide ballpark figures in terms of gadget pricing and installation. If the pocket allows, the luxury list can be addressed at the same time too.

Always consider the consistent upgrades of gadgets and applications. How many times does WhatsApp prompt an upgrade? That is how fast things move in the technological world. One should install a system that allows for software upgrades or plugging in of a new gadget. A system that will not glitch when the application is a little out of date. It should stick work even if version 2.0 is out.

Imagine needing to turn down the music but cannot find the specific tab that operates the music system and they have to look for it for hours on end. Tedious, right? Well, how about a centralized point that connects all gadgets to the system. A capability to operate any feature with any gadget. That is what a hub does, get one.

If this is a novel project for the family, it is best to ease into it. Introducing too many gadgets and technology will only confuse everyone making the system prone to mishandling. The family needs time to acquaint themselves with one smart move before advancing. Having one feature might shed light on another necessary one that might have been overlooked during the tour.

Having a smart system could definitely earn one a spot on the cool wall of fame. However, this should not be a motivation. Vane reasons could easily lead t detrimental decisions regarding the system.
