Smart Home Living: A Day in the Life

Catch a Glimpse of Life in Today's Integrated Home

Imagine a world where you can use your voice, a tablet, or a smartphone to control anything in your home.


That means you can answer the door without leaving your couch, keep an eye on your entire house while you're at work, and lock all doors with a single tap before going to bed.


What if we told you that such a world exists today?


That’s right, it’s already here.

What is a Modern Smart Home?

A modern smart home automation system links all of your appliances, thermostats, locks, and other devices to a single centralized system.


This technology, which can be operated using a mobile device or voice command, allows you to manage your home even when you're away at work or on vacation.


Read on to see what it's actually like to live in the smart home of today.

Waking Up in the Morning

You can't help but smile as you slowly open your eyes.


Your Lutron shades rise gradually, allowing the Wisconsin sun to warm your skin as you wake up, before shifting your room lights to keep you from squinting.


The thermostat, too, welcomes you with a cozy embrace.


All of this takes place as your favorite classical music gently fills the room via your modern Sonos wireless speaker system.


When your smart home wakes up with you, it's simply more enjoyable to wake up. All you have to do is set your wake-up time with Control4 the night before, and your house will set the alarm to ensure you get up on time.


Control4 is an example of a complete operating system for your smart home.


It enables you to control all of your gadgets from anywhere at any time.


It's in charge of your lighting, window treatments, and all the activities that are about to unfold next.

Getting Ready for the Day

You've woken up and are making your way to the bathroom to get ready for work.


Your mirror greets you with a smile and, among other things, gives you a preview of today's weather.


Because your mirror is a Séura SMART mirror, it works in the same way as your iPad.


Checking email, scrolling through your Facebook newsfeed, watching Youtube videos, and more are all part of your morning ritual.


It's also voice-to-text operated, so getting your hands wet isn't an issue. It's even better because it's completely configurable.


At this point you are all ready for breakfast, and so is your kitchen.


As you approach your kitchen, you'll notice the perfect balance of natural and artificial lighting.


Again, thanks to Lutron's shading and lighting solutions, it's a welcoming environment.


The shades regulate the amount of light that comes in, while the lights are human-centric, allowing them to imitate the sun's brightness throughout your home.

Heading Off to Work

Now is the time to get down to business. With a single tap on your phone, you turn off all electrical gadgets.


When you leave your house, it will lock all of your doors.


And if your doorbell rings while you're at work, you can relax knowing that you'll get an SMS notification.


To communicate with your visitor via the intercom, simply use your smartphone.


Returning Home for the Day

You're driving home from work now, and it's been a long day.


As you come closer to your house, you tell the Control4 system to get ready for you.


And that’s exactly what it does.


The lights are turned on, your ambient light rejecting TV is turned on, and the thermostat starts cooling down the entire house.


You have to admit, unwinding has never been easier.


Getting Ready for Bed

You've reached the point where you're ready to call it a day.


You climb into bed and grab your phone, which is conveniently located near your bedside table.


All you have to do now is go over your messages one last time.


Thirty minutes in, your eyes begin to feel heavy. But before you fall asleep, you set your phone to “good night.”


The lights lower, the shades close, and the thermostat adjusts—all in preparation for a restful night's sleep.


To arm your home, your Control4 system locks all doors conveniently in the background.


At the same time, it discreetly turns off all electronics for the night.


You are now ready to sleep, and so is your smart home.

Conclusion

Many people assume that if something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.


With today's technology, however, anything is now possible, including a home that you can operate with a single touch of a button.


Smart home technology is the way to go if you're searching for a great home investment or even a meaningful gift for a loved one.


It not only makes life more efficient, but it also makes your home safer.
