Recently, everything has become automated, and tasks can now be done with a touch of a button. The trend of owning a smart home has grown, wherein everyone can now control, observe and protect their properties with just a click of a button via their phone -- anywhere and all of the time.
Here are five smart technologies that you can have for your own home:
Decorative Gadgets
To match the design and provide the technological help a home needs, there are certain home automation technologies that are sleek in design. It can blend with almost any fixture of a modern home. Among them are the thermostats and smart door locks that Tech Crunch highlighted, saying that these can be aesthetically pleasing to the eyes (instead of the usual stand-out and eyesore).
Programmable/Zone-Based Thermostats
Control the temperature by using a smartphone or tablet to turn the heat up or down, through a programmable thermostat. You can also use Zone-based thermostats that use motion sensors to increase heat when the room is occupied.
Wireless-Power Controls
Another added feature of home automation is having you control myriads of devices with just a touch of your finger. Like what a man did in California, he transformed his iPad into a wall touch-panel/remote control to automate all of the devices in the house.
Automated Door Locks
Tech Hive has featured Smart Locks which can gain access to doors automatically when the owner approaches the area or is at the door. This lessens the hassle of searching for keys, especially when the hands are occupied.
Advanced Security Systems
It may be the most obvious smart home technology but it keeps everything in place, safely. It can work as a CCTV system or an alarm system with just a push of a button.
All these home automation technologies were featured during the CES 2014. These technologies bring a new concept of a smarter and safer home for everyone.
