5 Unique Smart Home Renovation Ideas
At a Glance:
Smart Home Control
First things first, in order to operate an efficient smart home to the best of its ability, you’re going to need a smart remote. Say goodbye to the days of sitting down on the couch and fumbling between 10 different remotes to try to find which one controls Netflix and which one turns on the soundbar. With one remote managing your whole smart home automation system, you can easily control your lighting, security, climate, and media sources all at once from the palm of your hand. Whether you want to set up a shortcut button to turn the AC on, have your favorite apps easily accessible, or are just looking for a one-button command that turns off all the lights at the end of the day, you can personalize your smart home remote to work exactly the way you want it to.
Automated Climate Control
It’s fair to say we all have that one relative that hoards around the thermostat in a valiant effort to save energy (and money, of course). But can you actually envision living in a home where you hardly have to touch the thermostat because it’s always set at the ideal temperature? With automated climate control as a part of your smart home, this can be easily achieved. Automated climate control allows you to harness your inner Goldilocks to create a comfortable environment that’s just right ― with minimal effort. Your smart home climate control systems can be operated remotely from your smart home control panel and ensures your favorite climate throughout the day, no matter the time or season.
A Smart Outdoor Living Space
Depending on where you’re located, chances are if the sun is out, you’d much rather be outside for your entertainment as opposed to being cooped up inside. Whether it's a barbeque with family and friends, smart gardening in the backyard, or watching the big game in surround sound, there’s plenty of entertainment options for your smart home that will make everyone want to spend more time in the great outdoors. Now you can bring your entire entertainment ensemble outdoors with both weatherproof video and audio solutions. Unlike indoor TVs and speaker systems, they are built to withstand harsh elements, dirt, and dust — three things that would instantly damage any indoor setup. We think it’s safe to say that with the right outdoor weatherproof setup for your smart home, staying in will become just as much fun as going out.
Home Security
If there’s one thing that we know you take seriously, it’s your home’s security. When it comes to your personal safety, there’s no compromise and with a smart home security system, you’ll get enhanced functionality and complete transparency of your home. Modern day home security systems have come a long way and now include the functionality to mix with your current smart home integration such as lighting control, thermostats, smart door locks, and other smart devices, to work together to enhance your home’s security and overall convenience. With smart home video surveillance technology, situations like motion from an unknown person walking to your door or on your property can trigger automatic actions to happen like locking your doors or alerting you over text to ensure your safety. Wherever you are in the world, you’ll be able to view the video cameras directly from your home automation app in your smart phone and have complete awareness of your home.
Motorized Shades
To round out our list of smart home ideas, we couldn’t not mention just how beneficial adding motorized shades can be to your smart home’s integrity. With motorized shades, you can control the natural light coming in that protects valuable furnishings from damaging sunlight, ensure your privacy, and reduce energy usage while bringing a unique elegance to your décor when you integrate them into your smart home automation system. Motorized shades come in thousands of fabrics, styles, and options, making them one of the most flexible and design-friendly additions. Even better, motorized smart shades can be integrated with your existing smart home lighting, climate, audio or video, and can be controlled from the convenience of your smartphone, keypad, or even by simply using your voice.
