Future of Smart Homes

It’s 5 A.M. The alarm clock is ringing earlier than usual.  It's not a glitch: the smart clock detected your schedule and made the necessary adjustments because you have a big interview first thing in the morning. Your shower starts automatically and warms to your selected temperature of 100°F. The wind turbine on solar panels on your roof has charged the electric car, and it's ready to drive. When you return home later, you'll find an unexpected package delivered by drone waiting for you. When you open it, you find an air purifier inside. It turns out that health sensors in your room have identified signals of oncoming illness. They have detected you need more purified air and immediately placed an order. That's a good thing you already nailed that interview. That is, at least, the idealized version of the smart home that will exist in about ten years.

Smart home automation is growing day by day and revolutionary innovations are being made. Smaller, lower-power, longer-range sensors, and IoT devices are being used in the smart home to track and deliver updates when things appear to be out of the ordinary, such as when there's a leak. Short-range, constant, high-frequency connectivity will not be required for everything, which implies data in the smart home will become genuinely "everywhere." Following are some of the ways smart homes will be able to bring convenience to modern households in the future.

Artificial Intelligence

Smart-home technology will advance much beyond what is currently accessible on store shelves, thanks to several technological advancements. Artificial intelligence advancements, for example, have the potential to upend practically every aspect of our lives, including our houses. Every morning, you may already be utilizing an AI-powered voice-assistant device to receive the latest news or weather prediction.

However, in the smart home of the future, AI platforms might act as the brain for entire households, learning about people and coordinating and regulating all of their smart devices. Crestron, an IoT firm, is developing software that tracks a person's behaviors, such as which music they want to listen to in the morning or which lights they want on at a specific time of day. Then, once it's figured out a user's preferences, it plays the appropriate playlists or dims the lights at bedtime. "That's the next evolutionary step in true automation,"

Smart Vacuum Cleaners

Robots will play a role in the smart house of the future as well. Smart vacuum cleaners like iRobot's Roomba are already cleaning up after us, and devices like the Aibo, a robotic dog for kids, show how they could keep us company in the same way that a pet could. What about the future? Ori Living, a robotic furniture firm, is collaborating with Ikea on components that adapt to your needs, such as moving the couch out of the way when you need a workstation or hiding your closet when it's time to eat.  CARL, a smart-home robot prototype by Design3, was recently unveiled. The fabric-covered bot is designed to roll around your house, activating its detachable cameras and sensors for detecting intruders, alerting you to toxic emissions, and keeping an eye on your pet.

 

Smart Robotic Arm

Nvidia, a computer graphics company, is developing a smart robotic arm that can operate as its user's personal chef, slicing and chopping vegetables and assisting with cleanup; it might be especially helpful for working parents or disabled people. If such a device were to become commercially available, cameras and sensors may assist prevent it from hurting an unwitting bystander on their way to the kitchen for a light snack before dinner.

Smart Lights

Smart lighting, which is controlled and powered by PoE, will change the way we light our houses. Smart lighting adjusts itself automatically when it senses the presence of a person in the room; when the person leaves, the lights dim or turn out completely. This technique has a wide range of uses. When you're lying in bed, for instance, pressure sensors can switch off the lights after a set amount of time. If you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, for example, the lights will switch on so you can make your way there. They'll turn off when you're ready to go to bed again.

Concluding, it can be said that the future of smart homes is bright, and in the coming years, smart home automation will reach new heights. Therefore, if you want comfort, convenience, and security at the max for your house in the future, a smart home is a real investment for the future. A smart home is the new sweet home!
