What if all of your devices could connect to the internet? Not just your computer or smartphone, but speakers, lights, doorbells, windows, curtains, boilers and even your kitchen appliances? Smart homes work by allowing your devices to communicate, listening to your commands, and relaying information to you.Making your home ‘smart’ means creating a communication network – usually via an intelligent personal assistant – that connects different appliances and allows them to be remotely controlled, monitored and accessed.
The adaptation of smart homes is often referred to as ‘The Internet of Things’, because it allows you to monitor your devices and appliances remotely – so, no more wondering if you’ve turned everything off before leaving for work!
Which ‘things’ can I connect to the internet?
As smart homes become popular, more and more household items are being adapted to become ‘smart’. From locks that can be controlled via your iPhone to smart fridges that order milk when you’re running low, electronic products are becoming smarter to make our lives easier.MyMemory has a range of smart home gadgets, from door cameras to Bluetooth lightbulbs.
