Imagine if all the devices you had
within your house could connect to the internet wirelessly. Not speaking of
devices such as your computer or cellphone, but everything from: doorbells,
cameras, windows, blinds, water heaters, appliances, kitchen utensils, you name
it, and it could be connected. And on top of that what if those devices could
all communicate with one another and send you information as well as take
commands from you. It’s not something out of a movie or in the distant future, it’s
here and it’s called the Internet of Things (IoT). This is the key component of
smart homes and home automation functionality.
Home autonomy is exactly what it
sounds like, the automation that allows you to control devices around your home.
With the simple control from a smartphone, hub system, or a voice command you
are able to control things such as lighting, temperature, or perhaps even
pouring yourself a cup of coffee. Many of these devices have become relatively
affordable in the past couple of years, so breaking the bank is nothing to
worry about. Not only are they affordable, but they are also simple to set up
and utilize quickly since they can connect to your homes Wi-Fi, so no other
additional cables are needed.
Some of the best starter devices for
your journey into home autonomy are devices such as smart voice assistants,
lightbulbs, thermostats, and doorbells. Popular first devices people pick from
are the smart speakers/assistants. There are a couple different options such as
the Amazon Echo series, Google Nest series, and the Apple Homepod. These are
all smart speakers which allow you to give them voice commands, set alarms,
reminders, and so much more. Home autonomy can simplify your life and make
everyday tasks a breeze. Want more information? Contact our One Source
