Ways to Make Your Home Smart in 2024

We already know that today, most homes are equipped with advanced technologies, and these homes are often referred to as smart homes. However, many of us may not be aware of which changes or additions can turn our regular homes into smart ones. This post is designed for those who have been searching the internet for information on what a smart home is and what its benefits are.

So, let's explore what changes need to be made to transform a regular home into a smart home.

A home is considered smart when we can control three main aspects—heating, cooling, and lighting—through some device.

Let’s try to understand what a smart home really is: If your home has an AC, heating system, lighting system, smart TV, etc., and if you can control all these with a remote or some device, then your home is a smart home.

In other words, a smart home is a technology through which we can control almost all aspects of our home via remote or device. This is what we refer to as a smart home.

Now, let's look at the benefits of having a smart home!

1. Imagine you lock up your home and leave for the office. Suddenly, your parents from your village arrive at your home. Since you are at the office, they wouldn’t be able to get inside, right? But if your home is a smart home, your parents can certainly get inside! You might be wondering how? The answer is simple: if your home is smart, you can easily unlock it using a mobile app from your office.

2. Here’s another example: Suppose you plan to leave the office at 4 PM to head home. If you turn on your home’s AC only after you arrive, it will take quite some time for the room to cool down. Typically, it takes about 20 minutes for an AC to cool a room completely. Instead, you can turn on the AC 20 minutes before you arrive home, directly from your office.

3. Another benefit is: Imagine you are working late at the office and will return home very late. You need to close the curtains and windows at home. What do you do? If your home is smart, you can easily control the curtains or windows through an app while you are still at the office.

In summary, this is what we refer to as smart home technology. I hope this article has helped you understand what a smart home is and what its benefits are. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. If you liked the post, please share it. That’s all for today. Thank you!
