Live better in a smart home with these devices

One market that has been on the rise in recent years is that of smart home devices. They really do come in all shapes and sizes. Stated boldly, nowadays consumers can replace just about any object in their homes and gardens with a device equipped with sensors that can make it work autonomously.

Even blinds can be smart nowadays, just check out Smartblinds for example! However, there are many more smart devices you can buy. Below you will find a few that will definitely improve the living experience in your home. 

Philips Hue

For your comfort, a well-lit living room is extremely important. Tired of always having to get out of your seat to turn the switch on or off? Then Phillips Hue bridge offers a simple solution. You can connect up to 50 smart lamps (for both indoor and outdoor use) and turn the lighting in each room on or off via the Phillips Hue app on your smartphone. Do you want to make your room a bit more atmospheric? You can adjust the colors and brightness of the light to your liking.

If you are traveling and you are not sure whether you have turned off all the lights, you can even check that abroad. Phillips Hue does require a stable Wi-Fi network to function. You can learn more about smart lighting by visiting the Smartwatching website. 

Google Nest Learning Thermostat

With the smart Google Nest Learning Thermostat you can control the temperature of your house while you are watching television for example. This thermostat is fully integrated into the Google Home ecosystem, making it easy to connect and operate. The thermostat is compatible with all central heating boilers and you can also connect it to your boiler to heat water. The temperature and time are displayed on a screen that lights up automatically when you are at home.

With this thermostat, your energy bill will also be a lot lower, because it turns off the heating when you are not at home. You will receive an overview of your consumption every month. By the way, there are more smart thermostats you could buy and implement in your smart home. 

Lenovo Smart Clock

The Lenovo Smart Clock is your faithful assistant to guide you through the mornings. With this smart alarm clock next to your bed you will never oversleep again. Instead of opting for a shock effect like many other alarm clocks, the Lenovo Smart Clock gently wakes you up by shining a brighter light on you step by step. Snoozing your alarm clock 10 times is a thing of the past, but the Lenovo Smart Clock is much more than just an alarm clock.

You can view your agenda on the display, and you can set the alarm to give you updates about the weather, the latest news, and possible traffic jams on your way to work every morning when you wake up. The alarm clock even uses your agenda to determine the ideal wake-up time. Other brands have also developed similar smart clocks!
