The home of tomorrow has been promised to us for a long time. What a lot of people don’t realize is that it’s already here. We may not have robot butlers, but we do have products that will upgrade our homes to the future.
Don’t wait for the home of tomorrow when you can have it today with these products:
Thermostats are simple devices that have been around since heaters were invented. They feature a rudimentary design and allow you to manually control the temperature when you’re too hot or too cold. But what if you could control your thermostat from your phone, or even have it learn from your habits? Well, that’s possible now with devices from Honeywell and Nest. These smart thermostats control the temperature inside your home so you don’t have to.
In the past, we had to place a key into a lock like some type of caveman. Now you can unlock your doors without even pulling your keys from your pocket. Think of how many times you dropped your phone or juggled your keys while trying to get into your house. Why not just let Bluetooth unlock the door? Smart door locks do just that and are a great option for businesses because they can control who has access to the building without dealing with keys.
Turning lights on and off by tapping your phone can set the mood, but you can also take this to the next level and have lights follow you around the house like your own personal halo. One thing you want to keep in mind when purchasing these systems is choosing one that has the apps you need. Some apps even let you sync lights to other devices, like the 12 Monkeys app that adjusts the lighting in sync with your television.
Grilling season is here and it’s time to bust out the charcoal, right? Wrong. With a smart propane tank gauge that measures your tank weight, you’ll receive detailed reports about gas levels so you never have to worry about refills again. Now you’re cookin’.
So what are you waiting for? The future? It’s already here.
