QuickGenie (Exceptional Handyman & Tech Services Delivered to Your Doorstep in California, U.S.)
The concept of a smart home can be rather confusing in an age where everyone has access to Alexa and a few smart light bulbs, and other devices. All of these devices have to work together seamlessly to constitute a smart home. Smart shades, for example, enable you to not only control them remotely but also to communicate with each other and react automatically when you need them to.
In this article, we'll take you through the best smart home devices that can be very helpful in our daily life. QuickGenie is one of the best Smart Home Devices Install/Repair service providers at an affordable price. Our highly trained technicians will help you move into one of the best smart homes in your area.
Smart Doorbells
Today, you can see who's ringing the doorbell without even having to walk toward the front door. Doorbells that are smart - which are relatively affordable and easy to install, as long as your home is already hardwired for one - offer a range of cool features that give you direct access to whoever is at your door, even if you are away from your home. A Ring Video Doorbell, for instance, connects to other smart systems in your home over WiFi. Once you have Ring Video Doorbell installed, you'll wonder how amazing it is to live in the future.
Smart Locks
An additional layer of security can be added to your front door with a smart lock. Smart locks are typically touch-enabled, or key-less. The smart lock also enables you to lock and unlock your door via your smartphone, which is a great feature if you frequently lose your keys, etc. It is even possible to set up different passcodes for different people who may need access to your home. The smart doorbell and other devices will provide you with the ultimate security and ingenuity for your new home.
Indoor and Outdoor Cameras
Today's most advanced home technology focuses on making our houses more secure, and cameras are no exception. The majority of people use these cameras only to watch over their pets when they're not around-but they are a useful tool for home security. Due to their popularity, they're more affordable than they used to be.
Smart Thermostats
Your home's existing thermostat can be replaced with a smart thermostat, which monitors your energy usage over time to optimize your energy consumption. Smart thermostats are popular for their ability to automatically adjust operation times, thus limiting energy consumption when you are not around. They also feature compatible apps that allow you to monitor daily, and monthly usage to make adjustments for big energy savings.
Smart Outlets
The use of smart outlets allows you to remotely control when your outlets and devices consume energy, and to set automated usage rules that align with your lifestyle and habits. Smart outlets, smart power strips, and smart light switches all contribute to an energy-efficient smart home.
Smart Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
We no longer hear the "beep, beep" of a smoke alarm battery dying. The Smart smoke and carbon monoxide detector continually charge itself so it works every time. There are also a few other benefits, such as the ability to pinpoint where smoke originates, and to alert you via your smartphone if the devices go off while you are not at home. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can also be integrated with smart thermostats so that, if you get an alert, your home's heating system is turned off automatically, so as not to aggravate whatever is going on. In terms of efficiency and peace of mind, they are more than worth the price, depending on how many you have to buy.
Personal Assistants
Unlike 10 years ago, today's personal assistants are small and can easily be placed on your nightstand or kitchen counter. They allow you to perform all manner of functions without ever having to get up from your seat, including ordering groceries and playing your favorite music. Adding a smart speaker like Amazon's Alexa or Google Home can make your life easier if you're looking to automate your life. If you have a credit card connected, just be cautious when letting kids use them.
