SMART HOUSE Technology

 

"SMART HOUSE"

LET’S FACE IT, technology isn’t

restricted to just TVs and smartphones. Today, most people are using smart home automation to do just about anything over the internet. We’re switching on air conditioning

before we enter our homes, drawing the curtains at a preset time of day or even turning on lights to a hue that matches our mood—all from our tablets or smartphones. Here are some ways in which your

home can be made smarter.

SAFE AND SOUND :-Video doorbells with screens to help you view visitors on the other end, CCTV cameras that can be placed both inside and outside the home, motion-detecting devices that alert you of any movement in your house, apps that let you view your interiors in real time—today’s smart homes harness technology in a way that offers homeowners more control, information and peace of mind when it comes to security.

■ INTELLIGENT DEVICES -: Virtual assistants, such as Google Home and Alexa from Amazon Echo, allow users to play music, search the internet, map a trip or even check weather forecasts with simple voice commands. Calls, messages, calendar management, sport scores, to-do and grocery lists and compatible smart lights can be controlled as well.

■ LET THERE BE LIGHT:- From motion-sensor lights to LED technology integrated with the Internet of Things concept, smart lighting allows users to experience luminescence in new and innovative ways. This includes syncing lights to the colours on your TV screen as you watch a movie, to a light show pulsing with the beat of your favourite music, or even connecting a fitness tracker so that the lights indicate when you’ve reached your personal goal.
   

TECHNOLOGY OPENS NEW WINDOWS TO ENERGY SAVINGS:-

Gone are the days when the role of windows and doors in the house were limited to just being sources of natural light and fresh air ,or easing the access into the room (in case of door).

Windows are a key component to any building's design , and technology is making its presence felt here too. Windows are today a demonstrator of what technology can do to HOMES. They are an essential part of new strategies to improve energy efficiency. Windows impact the form and function of all rooms, and due to the heat transferred through the glass,windows have a significant impact on heating and cooling costs.

       Thankfully, new technologies allow architects to save energy without compromising on the design. As building codes around the world demand greener designs, smart glass windows have become less of a niche market technology and more of a product appealing to a variety of customers within the building sector.
