The phrase "smart home" makes us think that these are alphabet houses.
This may have been true in the past, but today the market has made an adjustment, realizing that the demand for a smart home is rising but must be much more accessible.
Another aspect that has been addressed is the aesthetic - you can find products on the market that are both neatly designed and offer the characteristics of a smart home.
The main idea is to choose individual smart elements.
Instead of thinking in daunting terms of a smart solution for the whole house, you can consume the advanced technology in dishes that suit you.
Smart tips
A smart home is not necessarily expensive.
For every very expensive product you come across, there are alternatives that do not fall short in quality.
The chain is full of alternatives, and it is worth conducting a small market research before choosing to part with a few thousand shekels.
2. Do a scan in the private home and choose two or three hotspots where you need the help of smart technology.
3. There are smart additions that are an experience: showers that know how to change colors and spread scents and TV screens that will color the space in shades adapted to the broadcast situation.
Here, too, you should choose from all the offerings one supplement that will do you good on the heart.
4. The market currently offers smart home products that do not require advance preparation.
Do not be tempted to embark on adventures of breaking walls and digging.
The kitchen
If you suffer from a lack of space in the kitchen, you should consider the solution of elevators.
These are dedicated niches in the work surface, with elevators to hide unused products.
The steam collector will go up at the touch of a button when you cook, and with another push it will go down into the niche and keep the surface smooth and clean.
In the same way you can upload and download coffee machines and a variety of other appliances.
A dishwasher that completes its cycle of operations in three minutes and uses about a third of the amount of water, is one that can be helpful when it comes to a particularly active kitchen.
Transparent refrigerators are no longer a novelty, but have you heard of refrigerators with a completely normal front that becomes transparent if you double-tap it?
This way you can take a look into the fridge instead of opening it, and then the door will return to its original condition.
The act of opening and closing the refrigerator, cumulatively, is a waste of electricity and also not really beneficial to the ingredients stored in it.

The bathroom space
There are many systems on the market that will know how to make your bath time pleasant with music, scents and lighting.
Among them there are those who know how to simulate bathing outside the home, in the atmosphere and in changing places of your choice - in a natural water mikveh, at sunrise, rainbow lighting in the cloud and more.
To these are added aromatherapy fragrances developed inspired by natural fragrances.
The control is in most cases friendly, usually using a digital panel that allows you to select the desired program and even connect to a mobile app.

Curtains
The electric curtains incorporate a very simple mechanism, which is externally assembled and does not require any prior infrastructure.
Today this mechanism can also be installed on textile-rich, long and sheer curtains.
If you have a house with high ceilings and extra wide windows and you have chosen to install a rich curtain, the large amount of fabric will make it very heavy, one that is very difficult to operate on a daily basis.
Installing an electric mechanism will know how to move it to the sides with a simple push of a button, using the remote control or mobile app.

Screens and viewing experience
The streaming giants now promise us content tailored to our loves.
What is left to complete the experience is our involvement and ability to feel a part of the thing itself.
Advanced TV screens include a smart ambient lighting system: LED lights are placed around the edges of the TV and allow the colors of the screen to be projected on the wall in the viewing environment.
The color projection is not random, but is derived from the shades that appear at the same point in time on the screen, which provides a more authentic viewing experience.

Entry doors
In the past, the entrance doors were equipped with very awkward mechanisms, which damaged the aesthetic aspect of the door.
The new generation offers an integral smart lock, hidden in the body of the door, which is controlled via an app.
This extension eliminates the need for a key.
A bit like today quite a few vehicles are sold without a key, so too when it comes to smart front doors.
Apart from the fact that the door can be opened and locked using a dedicated app with a virtual key, the advanced systems also make it possible to enter the house using face recognition, a fingerprint reader, a coder or a remote control.
Some of the mechanisms will allow you to install them on the door that you have, and you will not have to purchase a new door to enjoy the progress.

beds
Sleep quality is based on a wide range of parameters, and the new systems of adjustable beds are equipped with sensors with artificial intelligence, which monitor hundreds of characteristics at any given moment, produce a detailed report on all sleep indicators and even allow recommendations to improve sleep until it reaches the point where it becomes These are parameters such as bedtime notes, light and deep sleep times, heart rate monitoring, breathing volume, number of slight shifts or rollovers and amount of snoring. In terms of appearance, the new generation of these beds offers a minimalist line, designed in straight lines and maintains refinement and appearance soft.
