Smart home appliances have become extremely common. This is largely thanks to IoT’s (Internet of Things) impact on boosting competition in the home automation market and the disruptive innovations that have been speedily adopted thanks to their light price tags. This and aspirational consumers are keeping the sector buoyant. Smart appliances are convenient, easy to use and, more importantly, there is the unequivocal luxury of controlling these devices with, quite literally, a word or from the tip of your finger. Perfect for every dream home design.

From fridges that open at a voice command to a washing machine capable of remembering your preferred settings, and lights that come on as soon as you enter your door, there is a wide selection out there. In fact, consumers are spoiled for choices. Here are five smart home appliances that would fit in with all modern home design interiors and even answer the question of how to save money on home bills. Smart fridge This is a fridge, virtual assistant, grocery shopper, recipe book, kitchen entertainment unit and more. It is designed to learn grocery consumption patterns and how often one would need, say, ice cubes . The fridge takes care of temperature preferences and assists with food inventory.

It also takes charge of its own health - using a smart diagnosis feature the appliance identifies operational issues and sends out alerts. It can also contact the manufacturer and report the problem, without bothering you. Adding things to a grocery list is as simple as telling the fridge to do just that ! Those that feature large touchscreen interfaces can be used to videos, get the latest news and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Wash tower The change in nomenclature implies this appliance is a cut above the more mundane automatic washing machine. It uses AI to detect fabric textures and load size and recommends the appropriate wash cycle and dryer settings. All settings are stored in the appliance’s memory for easy access. The wash tower discerns the level of dirt in the clothes and responds by increasing the wash time or quantity of detergent to ensure a spotless wash. What’s more, you can control the wash tower remotely while watching your favorite sitcom. Want to know how to save money on the water bill? A smart washing machine, aka Wash Tower, is the answer.

Dishwasher Load dirty dishes into the machine and go back to the party as your intelligent dishwasher handles the clean up. The unassuming device settles down to business and calibrates the temperature and washing speed based on your load. A gentle energy-saving wash might do the trick if your dishes are not too soiled. If not, the device will switch to more powerful washing modes. Like a 360-degree wash using powerful water jets to dislodge the most stubborn food stains. In addition, the dish might be rinsed at 60-70 degrees to prevent germs from spreading. Cleaning robots The Roomba range of products include self-driven vacuum cleaners and floor mops that require minimal inputs from a consumer. Since it is compact, these cleaners can get under your furniture to access those hard-to-reach spots. The layout of your home is fed into their memory, so they know how to work around obstacles. Multiple brushes can be used to scrub any kind of floor surface and leave it looking beautiful. Once the cleaning is over, the robot empties the dirt into a receptacle and returns to it’s charging station. These can be controlled via an app, via home AIs like Alexa or Google Nest and are also capable of functioning on set routines. Automated Security Systems A smart home is only half done without a home security system to put everyone at ease. From finger-print-based door locks that could also have number pads or HID car keys for entry to in-built alarms, all are designed to make a home highly secure. Video door phones that call a smartphone provides the comfort of knowing who’s at the door, if no one's home and even communicate with the individual to give instructions . These same systems can also be set up to record interactions and automatically start recording the moment someone is in range. With sophisticated night vision, proximity alerts that distinguish humans from animals, and wider field of view give homeowners peace of mind.
