Smart Fridges and other appliances
Smart fridges and washing machines are revolutionizing the way we keep our homes running. Not only can a smart fridge, such as the Samsung smart fridge, monitor when you’re low on milk or let you see inside the fridge via webcam, they also adjust suction to maintain air quality and a smart washing machine can offer over 40 additional wash cycles to take care of specific garments. What’s more, the LG smart washing machine for example can provide maintenance updates and reminders to preserve the washer’s reliability as well as information on the energy and water used of each cycle. With connected appliances, the possibilities are truly endless!
Smart Wifi irrigation controls
Rather than spending your hot summer days manually hosing down your garden, why not install a Smart Water Timer, such as the Melnor. A smart irrigation control allows you to automate the watering process and enjoy the bounty of your garden with ease. Not only does it make tending to your garden more convenient, but it also lets you pause the watering if rain is in the forecast. Get the most out of your garden with a Smart Water Timer.
Smart Robots
In just a few years, smart robot cleaners have gone from expensive toys that bumped around your house sucking up dirt, to sophisticated machines that utilize navigation software found in NASA’s technology. Not only can they map out your home and clean around your mess, but they are also now much more affordable. We are also seeing a wider range of robotic helpers that can vacuum, of which the Roomba is most known, mop, wash and empty on their own, as well as robot lawn mowers that take the manual labor out of maintaining your garden. Security robots with cameras are also able to keep an eye on your home while you're away and can even look after your pets; who doesn’t know Furbo? With the rapid advancements in robotic technology, soon we may never have to worry about household chores again!
