A few clever tricks can go a long way and best of all, you don’t have to be a full-blown tech to get the results you expect.
Wireless is Not Always the Solution!
Going wireless always sounds very futuristic and the best part is that there is no wire mess lying around. However, keep in mind, getting wired is always a more reliable option. If you are renovating your home or building your home from scratch, try to install a lot of Ethernet along with the walls, before the walls are fully plastered.
Good Ethernet cables not only help in relaying data, but they can also carry digital TV signals smoothly! Hence, literally, you are killing two birds with one stone.
Have a Separate Network!
Having a good Wi-Fi network is a blessing, but sometimes it can be a curse especially if you are not living alone! Wi-Fi network congestion is common and to keep your home system running smoothly, you’ll have to opt for another channel.
There are plenty of free software that can help you with that. Create your own mesh of network to support your entire home system. There are many devices that can control your entire system smoothly if there is good network connectivity.
Always Start with the Boring Things!
When you think of owning a futuristic home, things like lighting, heating, and security may seem like boringoptions to work on. However, these are the essentials of your home and you need to sort them out!
Buy products that you can configure with your phone or your watch so that they are constantly under your control.
Novelty is Not Always Appealing
While novelty may appeal for a shorter period, it is not always long-lasting! Sure, having a smart coffee machine that revs up your coffee as soon as you wake up sounds cool but will it last for long?
Not likely! One of the best things to do for your new home is to avoid gimmicky items that do nothing to streamline your needs.
Be in Charge!
Since everything will be connected in your new home, it is time to take charge. Invest in a smart watch and get in control of your heating, security, lighting, fire alarm system and even the garden, with just a click!
If a smart watch is not your thing, get hold of a universal remote control or sync all of it to your phone! Voila’, you have everything at your fingertips!
Having a Smart home is a dream come true!
