Smart Home Trends 2019

Smart Home Trends You’ll Most Likely See This Year

By | Custom Home Entertainment, Home Automation Systems, Smart Home Trends |

“How much ‘smarter’ can my home possibly get?” At this point, you might be asking yourself that very question. Smart homes have become all the rage in recent years with companies finding new ways to make everything from HVAC systems and appliances to lighting and TVs “smarter” than ever before. And they’re not done, either. Companies are planning to continue to push the envelope in 2019 to make products that will make your home even smarter.

Here are some smart home trends you’ll likely see this year:

Video doorbells

By now, you’ve probably seen at least a few of your neighbors install video doorbells from companies like Ring and Nest outside of their front doors. People are on a quest to stop so-called “porch pirates” from stealing packages off their front porches. They’re also interested in keeping their homes safer by recording what goes on around them. So, you’re probably going to be seeing a whole lot more video doorbells popping up throughout your neighborhood.

Appliances with touchscreens

Imagine checking out what’s going on in other parts of your home by looking at a touchscreen that sits over top of your stove or coming up with the perfect recipe for dinner by looking at a touchscreen that’s embedded in the front of your refrigerator. It’s not going to be too long before you’re doing these things. Most appliance manufacturers are finding innovate new ways to work touchscreens into almost all of their appliances.

Robots

Okay, so the “robots” that are going to be entering many homes soon aren’t like the robots that used to run around on The Jetsons. The world isn’t that futuristic just yet. But there are all kinds of robots capable of performing tasks that will be welcomed into American homes soon. For example, there are companies working on robots that can fold laundry. There are also companies working on robots that can prepare entire three-course meals. These robots could take care of many of the tasks you’re doing on your own right now!

Home Automation Systems Will Make Your Life Easier

By | Home Automation Systems, Home Control System |

When you walk into your home after spending a long day at work, what is the first thing you do? Chances are you begin by walking around your house and turning on a few lights. Then, you probably go to your thermostat to check to see how hot or cold it is in your house. Next, you head to your living area to turn on some music to inject some life into your house. And finally, you make your way into the other areas of your home just to check on everything and make sure things look OK. Before you know it, you’ve been home for 15 minutes and you’ve spent all that time moving from room to room carrying out different tasks.

A home automation system can prevent you from having to scurry from one place to the next inside of your home. Instead, you can use either a touch screen controller or an app on your smartphone to control just about every single aspect of your home.

You can turn on the lights in your home once you pull up out front with the push of a button. You can also check on the temperature and adjust it accordingly. You can set up music to play through your whole-home sound system, and you can even access any security or camera systems you have just to make sure there weren’t any issues while you were away. Best of all, you can do it all in a matter of about a minute without having to walk all through your home.

Shore Home Solutions can make this possible for you. We specialize in setting up home automation systems in residential properties. We use automation and sound system equipment from manufacturers such as URC and Savant that you will absolutely love. You will enjoy having control over everything inside of your home, and you will wonder why you waited so long to start using a home automation system. You will also enjoy the fact that you can build onto your home automation system down the line. The systems available through URC and Savant will allow you to add new features later.

Does having a home automation system sound like a dream to you? Let Shore Home Solutions bring that dream to life by showing you the benefits of installing one in your home. Call us at 410-878-2448 today to schedule a home automation consultation and to hear more about the URC and Savant systems we can install.
