Top 7 Smart Devices for Your Condo

Sep 07, 2022

The idea of having interconnected intelligent devices that can control your home's features, security systems, environmental controls, lighting, and other aspects has emerged as a result of technological advancement called IoT (Internet of Things). You can now manage your house from the palm of your hand thanks to a multi-device system that is interoperable with one another for seamless integration. The convenience given by the technology and capabilities of smart home gadgets continues to evolve and expand.

Big things can be accomplished in little spaces, even rented ones. Renters of apartments (and houses) can use the best innovative home system to improve the comfort and convenience of their residences without having to renovate, rewire, or do any other actions that would reduce their security deposit. Here are a few simple, inexpensive choices we suggest for renters and condo owners willing to invest in intelligent condo/bright apartment smart door lock technology.

A straightforward setup is one of the most crucial aspects of installing an intelligent home system in your condo. The wide range of products on the market today can make it challenging to decide which ones your home needs. Here are the top smart home setup suggestions and devices to help you restrict your options.

Smart lights

One of the most popular home automation technologies is bright lighting. It is also one of many ways to evoke a mystical atmosphere as you greet your visitors. Additionally, as you unwind and relax in the calming light, it improves your mood. It makes TV screens less reflective. You may change the lights' color and brightness using intelligent bulbs. Bright lights can also be used as an outdoor lamp, wall sconce, or accent light to illuminate your corridors. If you don't pass by for a while, it can turn off totally or dim down as you walk by.

Smart Home Security

Apartment and condo corridors can be crowded, and you never know who might be passing by. A wireless DIY home security system can alleviate your anxieties without the need for you to run wires everywhere or to contact a service technician. A basic kit with door/window sensors, motion sensors, and a keypad can contain most of what you want. (Informing your landlord that you're installing a system that might result in lights, sirens, or visits from the police or fire department is probably a good idea.) Also, remember that most DIY systems are simple to disassemble and transport if you decide to move.

Smart Plugs

Nearly any electronic gadget may be controlled, scheduled, and automated using an intelligent plug if you have a smartphone and an available outlet. These compact, often rectangular gadgets resemble inkjet printer cartridges in size that can make your smart condo design. The ability to schedule a table lamp to turn on and off as you enter and exit the room, have a fan cool your apartment (or your pet) while you're away from home, or turn off the electric kettle, radio, TV, or any other appliance.

Smart Door Locks

A hands-free keyless entry is reasonably practical when your arms are full of groceries, packages, or kids. If you have that option enabled on your smartphone, a bright door lock can lock and unlock doors based on your location. It also allows you to grant planned or temporary entrance to persons who don't live with you, such as contractors or dog walkers. Additionally, if many individuals want daily access, a smart lock makes it simple for everyone to come and go, and you'll never have to generate duplicate keys again.

Smart Camera

Using an inside security camera can make you aware of unwelcome guests, pet shenanigans, or landlord drop-ins. If you want to avoid potential legal difficulties, be sure to inform roommates where and when you're placing cameras (and respect their decision if they don't want them).

Because it is compact, simple to use, and inexpensive compared to other options, the Eufy Solo IndoorCam C24 is ideal for apartment residents, especially given its superb video quality. There are only a few choices for how to manage video recordings. First, you can record video at 2K resolution to an internal microSD card (available separately), at 1080p resolution to a networked (NAS) disk, or with one of two premium cloud service alternatives (which also limit video to 1080p).

Smart Speaker

Consider a smart speaker if you want to cram a lot of intelligent capability into a tiny space. You can play music, podcasts, news, and trivia games on these gadgets, mostly voice-activated. They also let you order pizza, propose recipes, set timers, and alarms, and tell you what's on TV. The most widely used versions are compatible with the most commonly used intelligent devices, enabling you to control most of the items we've mentioned here, including hard-to-reach brilliant plugs and intelligent lights, as well as adjust the temperature while already curled up in bed.

Smart Tv

No bright apartment is complete without a smart TV. You might desire a TV that supports voice assistants even if most of the top TVs are smart TVs, meaning they provide dozens, if not hundreds, of streaming apps. The best 4K televisions currently support Alexa, Google Assistant, or both. Brands include LG, Sony, and Samsung.

It is accurate to say that the trend of home automation is multiplying and that the functions these gadgets do are quickly becoming commonplace in our houses. Home automation is constantly progressing. With its many "smart" features that keep you safe around the clock without worrying about potential threats, condo living can magically transform your smart home into extraordinarily safe and secure.
