With the world becoming increasingly technology-driven, it’s becoming very common to find technology everywhere in our homes.
Whether you opt for a smart home system, remotely controlled kettle, or a doorbell with a camera, here are four easy technological upgrades you can make to your home this summer.
1. A Ring Doorbell
Pioneered by Jamie Siminoff, the Ring doorbell has become a household staple in recent years.
Equipped with a camera to view who’s knocking (or rather ringing!) at your front door, this doorbell allows you to have a two-way conversation with your favourite postman, courier or neighbour, and you can leave instructions for your parcel delivery in a way other than leaving a note on your front door.
2. A Surround Sound System
If you enjoy a good old movie night with your friends and family, creating a home sound system can be instrumental to hosting the ultimate night in.
Get your popcorn at the ready and fluff up the cushions to experience your favourite films in surround sound.
If you’re looking to strategically store a fleet of speakers, and perhaps even a monumental flat screen tv, you’ll need the help of precision component companies like Accu, who can supply you with strong high quality components to allow for the safe and secure storage of your equipment.
3. A Smart Lighting System
Lights are instrumental to creating atmosphere in your home, whether you’re hosting a dinner party, enjoying a quiet night in, or toasting your new neighbours.
By using smart wireless switches, you can control where you dim your lights, and by how much. Quinetic Kinetic switch systems are the world’s first ever solution to light switches without wires or batteries, and use kinetic energy to power them.
As a result, you can place switches anywhere, from coffee tables, to bedside cabinets for your ultimate convenience.
4. Amazon Alexa
Although it might seem very 3023 to have an AI best friend, the Amazon Alexa has been keeping the world company since 2014. Capable of playing your favourite music, telling you the weather, and even cracking the occasional joke, the Alexa has proven itself to be a worthy smart addition to any household.
Now available in various models with a high quality speaker, and even a screen, you can pair your Alexa to your Amazon account for additional security and smart home features like light and heating control to add more dimension to your bustling home.
