Alongside a host of high quality materials and solutions, smart technology will help to future proof your self-build home and will offer self-builders’ convenience, security, and an insight into energy consumption patterns.
New parents and families
Modern home automation can make life a little easier for new parents and families. There are plenty of gadgets on the market like smart lights which replace incandescent bulbs to make late-night feeding and changing trouble-free, all accessed from an app on your phone. Smart home lighting enables you to control your lighting hands-free too – by connecting your smart lights to Google Home or Amazon Alexa. Motion sensors can be a really simple way of helping you while smart home thermostats can ensure pure comfort – keeping your home warm. A temperature control is an effortless way of checking the temperature of your home through the day and night.
Be smart: older people
The sad truth about getting older is the range of mobility and daily living challenges it presents. Smart homes can support older people’s wellbeing, safety, and independence – at the click of a button. Home automation like sensors and smart sockets for assisted living can be transformative to occupants with physical disabilities.
Smart door locks can allow for keyless entry so there’s no need for manoeuvring a tricky traditional lock while smart cameras enhance security with motion detection to alert occupants and caregivers of any issues. Well-lit areas through smart lighting, not only contribute to energy efficiency but can help to reduce the risk of accidents for those with mobility issues.
