Top Smart Technology For Your Home
As technology advances quickly, we see more and more innovative technology being introduced to the home. This is not anything new, but we can certainly see a more significant increase in the adoption of smart technology in the homes of our ageing population. Not only is smart technology useful in your home, but it can also make our daily lives easier.
The poll, conducted for BT Group by OnePoll.com in mid June 2023, found that older people want to build their digital confidence.
Although the digital switchover has been delayed until 2027, a number of transition stages are planned, and eventually, landline phone calls will be made digitally.
With these advancements and transitions, there is no better time to consider introducing more smart technology into your home. Not only are they practical, but they can also help make your life easier.
In this blog, we will share some of the top smart technology devices used today and how they could help you.
Let’s get started.
Most Popular Smart Tech for Your Home
1. Smart Security Systems
Security systems are becoming more advanced. Standard alarm systems are great, but innovative technology has enhanced the functionality of alarms and security systems. For example, motion sensors, glass break sensors, notifications, live footage and more are just a few examples of how smart security systems can help enhance your security system. This is a must if you are living alone.
2. Smart Heating
Controlling the temperature of your home has never been easier using a smart app and device. You can change your home’s temperature from your smart device even when not in the house. You can also go one step further and set the device to automatically detect when the temperature has dropped in the home and turn on the heating.
This is not only practical but also very useful for those who struggle with their memory or have difficulty physically moving around the home.
3. Smart Personal Alarm Telecare Devices
With so much technology in the home today, such as Wifi, TV, and smart electric meters, our telecare devices are hardly noticeable. In particular, our smart GPS alarm telecare watch, which is worn on the wrist, has all the regular functionality of a watch but also has incredible smart features.
Using smart technology, the watch can measure your vital signs, such as pulse and blood pressure and alert you of any changes. There is also an easy, free app that can be used by your family or relatives on their devices to receive updates. This is great for their peace of mind. You can even phone your loved ones directly from the watch.
Finally, the key functionality of the smart telecare watch is getting emergency help when needed with just the simple click of the SOS button on the watch.
4. Smart Kitchen Appliances
Where do we start with this one? There are so many smart kitchen appliances now, such as smart fridges, smart ovens and more. Smart ovens are among some of the most popular appliances and they can be controlled through an app on your smartphone. You can turn the oven on to preheat from your smart device and receive a notification when your cooking is complete. Some smart ovens will also automatically turn off after 12 hours to ensure safety if the oven is left on by mistake.
Several smart kitchen appliances are great for ensuring safety in the kitchen. For example, a smart smoke detector can alert you when there is a fire in the home. This is particularly useful for family members whose parents or grandparents are living alone.
5. Smart TV
Smart TVs are great for gaining access to a wider range of entertainment. You can access on-demand channels and full box sets, as well as enjoy personalised recommendations. You can also use other streaming platforms on a smart TV, such as watching Netflix or listening to music on Spotify.
Summary
Smart technology in the home will not only become necessary for the digital switchover, but they are also incredibly practical and useful, particularly for our ageing population, who may need some more support around the home.
In particular, our smart telecare device can help monitor your health as well as provide direct communication to our emergency monitoring centre should they ever need help.
We hope this blog has helped you to identify which smart home technology you can benefit from. If you need help choosing the right smart personal alarm telecare device for you, get in touch.
