Smart Home Technology 2021

What is Smart Home Technology? This term is quite familiar to us as this technology has been around for quite some time. It has continuously evolved over the years, and now, what was once expensive is now accessible, making it likely that everyone has at least one Smart Home device at home.

What would happen if all the devices in your life could connect to the internet? Not just computers and smartphones, but everything in your home, including clocks, speakers, lights, doorbells, cameras, window blinds, water heaters, appliances, and cooking devices? And what if those devices could communicate, send data, and receive your commands? These are not just science fiction concepts; they are part of the Internet of Things (IoT) and are key components of home automation and smart homes.

Home automation gives you the ability to control things around your house automatically, from window shades to pet feeders, all with a simple button press (or voice command). Imagine knowing who is at your front door just by looking at your phone, or setting the room temperature through a mobile app, or even having a bed that monitors your sleep quality with various sensors. Today, let's take a look at some Smart Home devices.

1. Amazon Echo Family

Amazon Echo (4th Gen)

Amazon Echo is a Bluetooth speaker powered by an AI named Alexa. The voice command functionality of Amazon Alexa is incredibly useful. Amazon Echo works directly with smart home devices to control other devices. You can use Alexa to control most devices in your home with your voice, whether it's making phone calls, playing music, or searching for information.

2. Wyze Cam V3

If you have a limited budget, the Wyze Cam V3 at $20 (approximately 625 THB) is an excellent choice for an indoor/outdoor security camera. This camera packs a lot of features into a relatively small size compared to traditional CCTV cameras. It includes night vision, smart motion detection, voice control, a built-in siren, and onboard video storage.

3. Sleep Number 360 Smart Bed

Today, there are various ways to track your sleep, from fitness trackers to smartwatches, but nothing may be better suited for the job than your own bed. At least, that’s the idea behind Sleep Number’s 360 Smart Bed, which incorporates biometric sensors to help you sleep better. You use a smartphone app to view sleep trends and health metrics and to gain insights on how to improve your sleep. Although this bed is a relatively expensive investment, if you have enough money, the 360 Smart Bed is a comfortable, effective, and customizable way to enhance your sleep quality.
