Haven’t we all dreamed of homes where appliances automatically function according to our biddings? The lighting gets adjusted according to our mood, the coffee maker gets on the run as soon as our alarm clock goes off, and a computing device responds to your voice to read out your schedule and the news. We’ve seen and heard all such things in sci-fi movies for decades, but in today’s world, they’re either possible or almost there now. All of this forms the basis of the Internet of Things and smart home automation services.

The Internet of Things also called the Internet of Everything (IoE), was coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 as a title of a corporate presentation he made at his place of employment, Proctor and Gamble. It refers to all web-enabled devices that collect, send and act on information from the surrounding environments using sensors, processors and software hardware.

Smart home solutions use billions of connected devices that are a part of IoT. They use built-in hardware and software to send and receive data via various communication protocols. These connected or smart devices can communicate with other machines, thus leading to a process called machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and acting on the information they receive from one another. (Example – Smart phones) These exist today mainly because of all the tiny mobile components available these days and the ever-growing online nature of our homes and business networks.

This technology allows access machine-to-machine to that level of real-time information we’ve never had before. We can monitor our homes and families remotely to keep them safe. Businesses can improve processes so as to reduce wastage of material and unforeseen downtime. The sensors installed in the city infrastructure can detect and help reduce road congestion and warn us when the infrastructure is in danger of crumbling, environmental changes and impending disasters.

Kamonk offers various smart lighting devices that allow for functionality between various devices like wifi lights. Here are seven reasons why you should consider switching to a smart home system this year:

 

 

1. Various methods to control devices

The convenience factor here is enormous. Using wireless home automation to keep all of the technology in your home connected through one interface is a massive step forward for technology and home management. Devices like the  touch sensor switch allow you to control your appliances no matter where you are. Touch switches for home have come a long way as now they can use geofencing features to detect when you’re in the vicinity of your home and trigger actions based on that like unlocking the smart door lock which is very useful when your hands are full of groceries. The digital door lock is truly a godsend if you often find yourself in these situations. A  universal remote also is a good place to start your home automation journey.

 

 

Theoretically, you’ll have to learn how to use one app on your smartphone and tablet, and you’ll be able to tap into countless functions and devices throughout your home. This cuts way back on the learning curve for new users and makes it easier to access the functionality you truly want for your home.

 

2. Interoperability and integration benefits

Our smart home systems & home automation sensors are flexible regarding accommodating new devices, appliances, and other technology. No matter how state-of-the-art your appliances seem today, more recent, more impressive models will be developed as time goes on.

Beyond that, you’ll probably add to your suite of devices as you replace the older ones or discover new technology to accompany your indoor and outdoor spaces. Integrating these newcomers seamlessly will make your job as a homeowner much easier and allow you to keep upgrading to the latest lifestyle technology.

Kamonk devices work with various other devices like the smart led bulb. One of the main benefits of the bluetooth light bulb is that it has the ability to interact with other devices like a smart touch switch.

A wifi touch switch, can control various devices altogether from the same home application, this means that devices like a fingerprint door lock can be used in setting smart scenes with various other smart devices.

 

 

3. Security

When you incorporate security and surveillance features in your smart home network, your home security can skyrocket. There are tons of options here -- only a few dozen of which are currently being explored. For example, house automation systems and automated lighting system can connect with other smart devices like surveillance cameras, smart locks, and other tangible security measures throughout your home. You can activate them from one mobile device before heading to bed. You can also choose to receive security alerts on your various devices depending on the time of day an alert goes off and monitor activities in real-time, whether you’re in the house or halfway around the globe.

 

 

4. Control your appliances from anywhere in the world

Don’t underestimate the power of being able to control your home’s functions from a distance. On an exceptionally hot day, you can order your house to become cooler using the smart touch switch in just enough time before you leave work. If you’re in a hurry to get dinner started but are still at the store, you can use the wifi touch switch to have your oven start to preheat while you’re still on your way home. You can even check to see if you left the lights on, who is at your front door, or make sure you turned off all your media while you’re away.

 

5. Monitor your energy usage

Kamonk is the best home automation company in Gujarat and also one of the best home automation companies in Karnataka and depending on how you use your smart-home technology, it’s possible to make your space more energy-efficient. For example, using a wifi smart switch, you can have more precise control over the heating and cooling of your home with a smart programmable thermostat that learns your schedule and temperature preferences and then suggests the best energy-efficient settings throughout the day. Touch switches for home and motorised shades can be programmed to switch to an evening mode as the sun sets, or lights can turn on and off automatically when you enter or leave the room, so you never have to worry about wasting energy.

 

6. Better functionality

Smart homes can also help you run your appliances better. A smart plug will assist you with cooking your chicken to perfection -- without ever worrying about overcooking or undercooking it. An intelligently designed touch light switch and audio system can make managing your movie and music collection effortless when entertaining guests. Connecting your appliances and other systems with automation technology will improve your appliance effectiveness and make your home life much easier and more enjoyable!

 

7. Real-time notifications

Tap into the insights of your home energy usage using Kamonk.

From these insights, you may be able to analyze your daily habits and behaviors and adjust to living the lifestyle you desire. Additionally, Kamonk offers various devices including the wifi smart bulb.

 

 

THE EIGHTH ADVANTAGE
