The term "Smart devices" is associated with the Internet and modern technology. Objects have the ability to connect to the Internet in some way and thus become "smart". This development can range from your car, phone, watch, to items in your home. In this article, we will introduce you to the concept of "smart homes". We will focus on smart home applications and what this means for the future of living.

What smart homes actually are

The definition of a smart home lies in the convenient home setting, where devices can be automatically connected to each other and controlled using a mobile or other network device, no matter where in the world we are located. A smart home has its devices that control features such as home security, temperature, illumination and much more interconnected via the Internet. A smart home is also known as home automation or a smart building. In short, this means that the technology in your home allows you to remotely control the home.

A smart home is made up of several smart apps. These applications are in most cases interconnected and can be accessed via a central point. Examples of these central points are laptops, tablets, smartphones, or other smart devices. You can use smart apps to perform various tasks in your home. For example, smart apps can control the temperature of your home, turn devices on or off, control illumination, or programme other smart devices. With their help, you can control the movements in your apartment when you are away, or you can programme them to call the police or firefighters in case of a burglary or fire. These examples are just some of the many tasks that smart technology can perform.

Apps that make our life easier are our future

Most smart applications can be divided into the following categories: kitchen, bathroom, greater comfort, security and sanitation.

Imagine waking up in a smart home in the future. Your home will automatically detect that you have woken up and start a pre-programmed morning routine. The water of your shower will heat up to your favourable temperature, after showering you will be able to dress in clothes that will be put together by your smart closet. As you descend the stairs, you will notice the smell of freshly brewed coffee below, prepared by a smart coffee machine. After breakfast, the smart fridge will detect what is missing and put the items on your shopping list. Your home will automatically detect when you leave the house, it will lock the door, turn on the security system, and turn off the lights. During the day, you will be able to remotely monitor your home and observe your pets via webcams. When you leave work, the smart kitchen can already start preparing a pre-selected dinner, which will be finished by the time you get home. This is an example of the capabilities that a smart home will be able to provide to its users in the future.

Smart homes are not only suitable for the younger generations, but in the future, they will be adapted to the elderly, who will be able to live independently in their own homes for a longer period of time. This means that older people can stay in their homes longer and will not have to move to a nursing home.

There has been a lot of developments in the field of smart homes, in the last few years, focusing on health and comfort. One of the future prospects for smart homes is to become part of the home health network. Home health services are traditionally designed to transfer patient data to hospitals. This service displays information about the patient's health. You can select things like blood pressure, body temperature, or heart rate. With this data, the hospital can create customised data to alert the family or security providers in the case of unforeseen events. Smart homes could become part of the home health care system in the future.

Smart home automation is increasingly focusing on caring for older adults and people with disabilities so that they can maintain their independence and security. Smart homes allow the elderly to remain independent, making them feel more comfortable in their own homes. There are now many different types of assistance systems that focus on supporting people.

The challenges of smart homes

One of the biggest problems of smart homes that support the elderly is the need for a user-friendly system. It is often difficult for the elderly to operate electronic devices. Another problem is the cost of these systems, as the installation of these systems is financially quite a big deal. Another problem is privacy issues in the world of the Internet. Of course, with smart apps, we also gain a lot more freedom as devices do things for us and we can then make better use of our free time.

Smart front doors that will not leave you indifferent

The best thing about a smart home is that you can finish it with top notch front doors matching your taste. Have you heard of the entry wall? Theatrica is based on smart facial recognition technology that compares a person's facial features with the data in the database and opens the doors to approved people. Enter the faces of the people you want to have access to your home into the system, so you no longer have to worry about keys and unwanted visits. As you approach the Theatrica, it will open and close behind you gently and inaudibly without the slightest touch. You will also have a report of each visit, which means you will have complete control over your home.
