Smart home bonanza on home automation
Smart roller shades
These motorised devices raise and lower your blinds at the touch of a button, or with a voice command. You can preset up/down percentages and set schedules for automatic operation day and night, for extra security when you’re out. Most are compatible with your existing shades and easy to install, with no wiring required – simply screw the driver to the wall and insert the beaded cord; adaptors that fit a majority of cords are often included. Smart drivers for rod and track curtains are also available.

Get a better understanding of the air you breathe and what’s in it. Indoor air quality monitors take samples at regular intervals and reveal any pollutants, allergens, smoke, CO2, and other nasties that may be floating about, on easy to read displays that offer customisation and colour coding. Real time analytics and insights can also be accessed from a smartphone app.
Smart Water Control
Water lawns and gardens remotely from a phone app, or instruct a voice assistant when to turn the sprinkler on/off. A convenient way to keep things green, smart water controllers can also cut the cost of your water bill, with timer controls to reduce wastage, and real time water usage and history. And you won’t have to rely on a neighbour to hold the hose when you’re away.
Smart home appliances
When it comes to household essentials, refrigeration is at the top of the list. Smart fridges can alert you if the door is left open, and inbuilt cameras let you check the contents on your phone while in the supermarket aisle.
Smart home tech has revolutionised and simplified the mundane task of doing the laundry, as well as increasing energy efficiency. Washing machines and dryers are among the many everyday household appliances that can connect to an ecosystem for control via an app and voice assistants.
Home robotic vacuums are doddle to set up via a smartphone app, and most can also be controlled by Google Assistant and Alexa, making cleaning the house as simple as commanding, “Hey Google, start vacuum”.
