Even a decade ago, a home where you can ask the curtains to open or switch on your AC even before you are home or order through your fridge was a sci-fi dream. But today, it is not something unbelievable, thanks to the rise of smart home devices, motorised curtain tracks and high-speed internet at an affordable price. So, here are four such devices that you need to invest in to turn the dream of a futuristic home into a reality.
Home Wifi/High-Speed Internet
The first criterion for having a smart home is that all your devices are connected to the same network. This means you need to have a home WiFi connection as the first step in turning your home into a smart one. You will need high-speed internet to support those smart devices, and now that 5G is available everywhere in India, it is very easy to get a broadband connection and enjoy the high speed. So, your first investment should be on a good broadband plan and router.
Smart Hub
The next thing you need is a smart hub that will work as the manager for all your smart devices. It will be the brain of your home that will tell other devices what to do. Such devices like Amazon Echo or Google Home are easily available in the Indian market nowadays.
Smart Lights
Once you have a home WiFi and this smart hub in place, it is time to invest in devices that will make your home a smart home. The first among them is smart bulbs, which can be programmed to shut on and off through your smart hub device. Not only that, but you can also change the intensity and colour of the smart bulb depending on your mood and the ambience you want to create. The leading choices for sat smart lighting for Indian homes are Phillips, Wipro and Amazon basics.
Motorised Curtain Tracks
Do you hate manually operating curtains? Then, you will need to install a motorised curtain track in Delhi. With these in your windows, the tiresome job of closing and opening curtains will be a thing of yesterday. You can remotely control them using an app or integrate it with your Smart home hub. Some motorised tracks even have the option of scheduling the closing and opening of the curtain.
So, you see that turning your home into a smart home is not that hard. With the right products, a little investment, and your futuristic home will be ready for you to enjoy.
