One of the first things to do when you settle in your new Elta condo is to make your home as comfortable as possible. Aside from personalized touches and furniture, you can employ these five tech aspects to take things one step further and create a home you can truly call yours.
Mood Lighting
The right kind of lighting can make all the difference for a cozy home. Rather than changing the lights manually for every mood, you can invest in a smart bulb with dimming and color-changing functions. You can set bright light during the day, and dimmer or softer colors when you get home and control it using an app.
Ambient Music
Music can be a part of the relaxation process, and smart speakers can help in this regard. Ambient music or a playlist can soothe tired nerves and make the living room more inviting for family members.
Add a Digital Photo Frame or Two
Digital frames are great as they can show more than one picture at a time. In addition, you add a personal touch to any room and highlight vacation pictures or moments with loved ones. The best places to put them in are the kitchen, the living room, and the hallway leading from the front door.
Install a Smart Thermostat
Rather than having to change the indoor temperature multiple times during the day, you can just get a smart thermostat that’s connected to your air conditioner or heater for hands-free convenience.
Unlock Hands-Free Commands and Automation
Speaking of hands-free, you can use technology, particularly smart devices and appliances to automate mundane house tasks. Voice-activated assistants work in similar fashion, with a smart hub acting as the command center to see who’s at the door, turn off the lights, or activate your robot vacuum, among others.
