Nowadays, the world of home interiors is undergoing a revolution due to the convergence of technology and design. Young people who are digitally aware are growing more and more interested in smart homes, therefore interior designers must stay up with these new trends or risk falling behind.

What, then, is home automation? 

The Internet of Things, or IoT for short, has made it possible for a variety of smart gadgets to offer astounding capabilities that may make houses cozy, effective, and convenient as well as make life a whole lot simpler. With the help of smart, connected devices, you can switch on the stove while you're still at work, ensuring that your dinner is steaming hot when you return home after a long day at the office.

Smart security locks that recognize your face will unlock doors, and Amazon, Siri, and Google Assistant are all at your beck and call to carry out your orders.

In addition to offering homeowners a chance to wow their neighbors, smart houses also have a wide range of benefits. They give you access to high-tech comforts that enhance your quality of life, enable equipment to operate with high energy efficiency, and provide exceptionally high standards of privacy, safety, and comfort.

Here’s what smart homes offer:

Peace of Mind, Guaranteed

Worries about the security of your home are eliminated by modern security systems. When you have visitors, you may see them and speak to them before letting them in and receive immediate alerts. To make lock picking nearly hard, the door lock has been redesigned. When motion is detected at home while you are gone, motion sensors let you know.

A Connected World

You can live in a world where everything is connected through Smart Assistants like Alexa or Siri. You can open or close your curtains, turn your kitchen appliances on or off, play music, or control the temperature of the air conditioning…all from a distance.

Pre-set timers to turn the lights on or water your plants and create the mood for a relaxed evening by syncing the lights to the rhythm of your favorite music! Check and correct a water leak before any damage is done. Once you have experienced this level of convenience, you will never want to go back to living an ordinary life again!

Go Green

Using smart switchboard automation, you can monitor the power consumption of appliances and make your heating, cooling, or cooking far more energy-efficient. Motion sensors or thermal sensors can detect when there is no activity in a room and turn off the lights, helping you save energy.

Optimal temperatures for comfort can be controlled and pre-set using smart thermostats, adding a new level of convenience and comfort to life. Systems can be interconnected; for example, the lights can be dimmed when the blinds are raised. Solar panels that can capture solar energy can be programmed to follow the angle of the sun, optimizing efficiency like never before.

Appliances get Seriously Smart too

With the IoT gaining momentum, corporate bigwigs like Samsung, IKEA, and GE Electric are jumping into the fray as well and creating devices that can be controlled using wearable tech. IKEA has launched a smart and stylish lighting system that connects to mobile phones and tablets and can save energy and heighten the ambiance of your home interior lighting systems.

Samsung’s new-age refrigerator is fitted with Wi-fi that controls food management, allows you to see the inside of your fridge from afar, and tells you when you are low on groceries. It can even stream music and TV when you are working in the kitchen! GE has come up with the GE Kitchen Hub, a smart screen that shows you recipes and allows you to video chat and control other connected devices with voice commands or at the touch of a button.

James Bond in Your Kitchen

The kitchen is a space that can readily adapt itself to smart, energy-efficient systems. Designers are experimenting with kitchen countertops that slide down to reveal a hidden sink or have robotic cooks that can measure out ingredients and control cooking temperatures to create Michelin-star-worthy food. Engineers are already playing with the elements like fire, gas, and electricity to create high-tech gadgetry and pretty soon food will get cooked by itself!

The Future is Wide Open

It has been estimated that over 26 billion electronic devices will be connected through the IoT. Incredibly intelligent IoT devices and apps are going to be the order of the day, and unless you want to be lagging behind you should get connected as well!

While people may argue that all this smartness will cause human relationships to decline there is no stopping technology. Very soon the whole world is going to become a whole lot smarter!
