If you’re not convinced that smart home automation is the way to go, or simply don’t know where to
begin, here are 3 smart home devices that you’re sure to love – they increase convenience, security
and energy efficiency. The best part? You don’t have to invest in one go in a complete home automation system – these devices can be installed as standalone components or as part of a holistic smart home solution (for more information, speak to our team here at Shinrai).
Smart Door Locks
Smart door locks area great way to improve home security and retain more control over access to
your home, even when you’re away, not to mention the convenience they afford by introducing
alternatives to the traditional key access mechanism.
Consider our best-selling smart lock, the Orvibo C1 Smart Door Lock – it offers four different access
methods:
1. Biometric access via fingerprint recognition
2. Password or keycode access that can be entered into the door lock physically
3. Access via authorisation from your smartphone
4. Traditional key access
If you’re someone that often loses your keys, a smart door lock such as this one is going to feel like a
lifesaving piece of technology in your home. Additionally, if you’re away from home often and need to
let staff or visitors in, the smart door lock allows you to do this remotely – all you need is your
smartphone or tablet and a Wi-Fi connection.
The Orvibo C1 Smart Lock also comes with a wealth of other features including:
– A door gap sensor, that can alert you when the door has unwittingly been left open
– An anti-dismantle sensor that will alert you if someone is trying to tamper with the door lock.
Smart Curtains
Another piece of smart home technology that can really come in handy daily is smart curtain
technology.
Using a smart control panel or even just your smart device such as a smartphone or tablet, you can
open or close the curtains from wherever you are, whether that’s in bed, in the next room, at work or
even on holiday abroad.
You can also set the curtains to open and close according to a schedule, which works wonders
especially when you’re away.
If your smart curtains are linked to an integrated smart home system, you can also ensure the curtains close at the right times of day to prevent strong sunlight from coming in – this will help reduce the power that your air conditioning systems have to expend, thus helping you save energy.
Smart Switches
Smart switches such as the Orvibo Mix Switch series and the Orvibo Geekrav series can really help
you make life a breeze, and they look stylish to boot!
The former, the Orvibo Mix Switch requires no wiring and is a movable switch panel that can be
placed anywhere in the room. The latter, the Orvibo Geekrav series, while wall-mounted, can easily
replace traditional switches, eliminating the need for rewiring.
These smart switches are durable, stylish and enable scene control, which means that you can easily
set your entire living space up the way you want it in a matter of seconds.
