We are talking about Smart
Homes and trying to give you an insight about this topic. But what do people
really think that a Smart Home is?
We have asked this
question to 14 people coming from all over the world, with different
backgrounds and different age, and the answers were almost the same.
“To my understanding a Smart Home is a home where all the electronic
devices are connected to the internet and they can execute some tasks totally automatically
and can be stirred by one central device such as a tablet or a smartphone and
these two devices should be the central element of a Smart Home”. Christophe, from Germany
“For me a Smart Home is home with a centralized system which can control
many devices interconnected” Lorenzo, From Italy
Except for one 24
years old Australian girl who answered:
“Ummm okay: Smart Home for me would be a home somewhere closer to the
city, so location is important. I would want there to be good public transport
nearby either tram or train. It would have to be fairly inexpensive.”
Maybe not everyone is
tech savvy and that is why we are here searching, comparing, gathering
information and sharing them.
But let’s move a step
forward.
Once we have
explained what a Smart Home is, we asked them to tell us what would be their
ideal concept of Smart Home.
Again, even if people
of our survey were different in many aspects (cultural, economic, social, and
geographical), we saw that all the answers led to a common direction: Life
assistant.
That’s what Henry
from France said:
“I would say
something that can assist you on everything in the house like just by saying
some key words and they will do it for you”
And Eric, from
Florida working for Amazon:
“So, for me, a Smart Home is a home and life assistant. It's technology
that helps improve your daily life; whether it is keeping you on time to your
next appointment, checking on the weather & traffic, or turning off your
lights and thermostat if you're on vacation.”
As you can see words
such “help”, “assistant”, “doing things automatically” are the main highlighted
concepted that emerged.
But can a Smart Home really
be considered as a life assistant? Does it really help you in your daily
routine? Is it able to turn things on and off for you from distance, if you
have forgotten them?
If the answer to all
these questions were yes, wouldn’t you want to turn your home into a Smart Home?
