Technology is evolving at a faster rate than ever before, and one of the areas that has seen tremendous growth in recent years is smart home technology. It’s estimated that the smart home market will be worth over $121 billion by 2022. While there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to choosing technology for your home, only a few select purchases will truly transform your home life. Here’s a look at some of the top technology that can transform your house into the cozy, perfect home you’ve always wanted.
“it Bed” by Sleep Number
Believe it or not but there is such thing as a smart bed. The “it Bed” by Sleep Number goes beyond adjusting the firmness of your side of the bed and actually uses tracking technology to help you put your best foot forward, every day. When synced with your smartphone, the “it Bed” tracks your breathing, heart rate and movement and makes recommendations for changes to help you feel more well-rested. It also syncs with fitness devices and apps so you can understand how your sleep patterns play a role in your overall health.
The Family Hub® Refrigerator
With this next-level refrigerator, you’ll never have to wonder if you’re out of eggs or milk. It has three built-in cameras that snap a photo every time the door closes, so you always know what’s in stock in your fridge. And that’s not even its most impressive feature. With The Family Hub® you can order groceries directly from the refrigerator’s touch screen, receive notifications when food is going to expire and even discover customized recipes based on what you have stocked up. In addition, the calendar app allows you and your family members to stay up to date on the week’s activities and to-dos.
Home Automation Systems
One of the best pieces of technology that can transform you home and the way you live your life is through home automation products. Home automation systems make it easy to control everything in your home with the click of a button and give you piece of mind when you’re away from home. A home automation system from ADT allows you to remotely control the temperature, lock or unlock doors, turn appliances on and off and more. You’ll never think twice about whether you locked up – because that information is right at your fingertips, whenever you need it.
Wireless LED Lightbulbs
Lightbulbs are perhaps among the most boring home products, but the latest technology is giving them a new edge. With the Philips Hue LED Lighting System you can control the lights in your home through your smartphone. No more stumbling in the dark to find the light switch, or spending time figuring out “what does this switch actually control?” You can even control the colors and sync your lights to music. Another added perk is that the bulbs are energy efficient so they’re good for your family, and the environment.
A Smart Washer and Dryer
Although doing laundry may be one of the most loathed household tasks, smart washers and dryers are taking a little bit of the pain away. The LG Smart ThinQ Washer & Dryer allows you to remotely monitor your clothes as they wash or dry. You can also set the machines to automatically use the least amount of power, thereby saving you money. In addition, as LG updates their technology you’ll be able to download new cycles and remotely upgrade the device.
Items like a bed, refrigerator, and light bulbs are all essential items that you need in your house. But it’s time to break the mold when it comes to your home. Stand out from the crowd and upgrade these household necessities. These hot technology products will transform your home and your lifestyle.
