Smart Homes 10 Years From Now

Summary:

In the next decade, smart homes are expected to evolve significantly, integrating advanced technologies to make our lives more convenient and efficient. Here’s a glimpse into the future of home technologies:

1. Automated Robots: While humanoid robots are still developing, computerised robots are already used in homes for tasks like cleaning floors and serving drinks. More sophisticated robots are expected to be invented in the coming years, further easing our daily chores.
2. Smart Appliances: As technology evolves, intelligent appliances become increasingly integrated into our lives. These devices, ranging from jewellery to phones, are getting smarter and will soon be able to learn our preferences and habits, making life more comfortable. For instance, refrigerators could serve chilled water automatically upon sensing your return home.
3. Lighting Controls: Manual switches are becoming obsolete with the advent of voice commands, mobile phones, and touchscreen panels. Smart thermostats like NEST can adjust home lighting and temperature automatically. Advanced lighting control panels will manage indoor and landscape lighting, becoming a standard feature in homes.
4. Smart Toilets: Initially met with scepticism, intelligent toilets are gaining popularity. In Japan, toilets can perform urinalysis to check for diabetes. Future smart toilets might be able to detect pregnancy or certain cancers through urine analysis. They also come equipped with features like automatic deodorizers and heated seats.
5. Energy Tracking Units: Smart systems that monitor household energy consumption and calculate carbon footprints are already used. These systems help manage energy usage efficiently and are expected to become standard in homes, aiding in conserving the planet’s energy resources.

Smart Homes 10 Years From Now

We can present a picture of how smart homes shall look in about ten more years; let us glance through some home technologies that we shall begin to use in a few years.

Automated Robots at Our Service

We still have a long way to go before a humanoid-like robot takes over our day’s activities. However, we already have automated robots at our disposal. These robots are used in several homes; therefore, it is not too much of a stretch to imagine when automated robots will take over our homes.
