How Smart Is Your Home?

Smart homes are no longer a thing of the future, they are happening right now. Smart technology has the ability to make our lives easier, more convenient and increase safety. It has also been reported that a home with smart technology is more attractive to potential buyers and it could possibly boost the value of your house.

The core advantage of smart technology in the home is that it keeps the home owner completely in control. For example, if you have ever left home and worried about not securing the garage door, cutting edge home automation will allow you to check! And here lies the trend, whilst remotely checking the fridge contents or turning on the coffee machine is nifty, not everyone would buy into it. But when it comes to smart technology which offers increased security, people start listening.

Devices for home monitoring, via cameras and sensors, offers homeowners peace of mind. Remotely controlling the lights or music can make it appear that someone is home, even when they are half way across the world.

Accessing the home is offered greater security by installing biometric locks. A biometric lock uses a scanner to memorise fingerprints and only grants access to those authorised users. So no worries about losing a key and having to change the locks.

Whilst home security is a great reason to invest in smart technology, there are also a lot of fun products which have been invented to make life more convenient . Check out our quick run down of the best smart products which could revolutionise the way you live.
