Every year, innovative technology in home gadgets introduce functions and features that bring lots of convenience in the home. These include automatic home systems that control air-conditioners and TV sets, as well as automatic locks that allow remote access to whoever comes in and out of the home.

Here are some of the latest smart gadgets to elevate homeowners’ living spaces:

Smart locks

Technology has come a long way in terms of improving home security. From biometric locks to automatic WiFi locks that can be remotely controlled on the phone, these can now be integrated with security cameras to identify who goes in and out of the home. Smart locks also offer a solution to cases of emergency or the age-old problem of having to rush home because a family member forgot his or her keys.

Home management system

When the universal remote first came out, the invention threw people into a frenzy because of how impressive one remote can control multiple televisions. Fast forward to today, home lighting, entertainment systems, security devices as well as shades can all be controlled by an App on the phone to offer homeowners an all-in-one solution to home management.

Smart Lighting

With recent improvements in technology, smart systems now allow homeowners to dim or change lighting hues remotely. Some lighting systems even function as part of the security system, being turned on when a sensor detects movement and immediately alerts homeowners’ phones prompting them to remotely inspect their home via the home’s connected security camera.

Smart Windows

Enjoying a sun-lit room, while valuing privacy? By using panels of liquid crystals sheets and electrical current, some companies have invented windows that can switch from transparent to translucent with a press of a button. This system also functions to bounce off harmful infrared light from the sun but still allow visible light to shine through, something curtains and shades tend to block out completely. These windows can be used in offices and homes in which  people like to maintain their privacy while still enjoy the luminous daylight.
