10 Reasons Why It's Smarter to Have a Smart Home While many think that the Smart Home system is just about keeping up with modern trends that will last until the next season, it seems that the "trend" of Smart Homes is growing every day.
Smart home or not? Here are ten reasons that will help you understand the benefits of a Smart Home system!
Moreover, when it comes to more luxurious properties, a Smart Home has long ceased to be a "trend" and has become an expected feature.
There are more and more alternatives to an integrated Smart Home system on the market – various gadgets, apps, and outlets controlled via Wi-Fi. However, the quality, safety, durability of the system, and warranty make the Smart Home stand out in a completely different category.
We believe it's unfair that the Smart Home system is presented as a "current fad," so we wanted to compare homes that have invested in advanced technologies with regular/conventional homes.
Here are 10 reasons why it's smarter to have a Smart Home:
1. Provides more security and is affordable for insurance
Obviously, a Smart Home is unmatched when it comes to security. With numerous sensors and live-streaming cameras, you can monitor everything happening in your home, even when you're away.
For example, smoke detector sensors can warn you of a fire starting in your home, giving you enough time to take necessary actions. Also, the recordings of your home don't have to be monitored by an agency – we can create a security center just for you.
2. Utility bills become minimal
In regular homes, utility bills like electricity, water, and heating often become a burden. However, with a smart home, you can control the usage of these resources. Besides reducing the waste of electricity and other resources like gas and water, a Smart Home is more eco-friendly and helps you save money every month.
For example, when no one is home, sensors will deactivate or turn off lights, heating, and appliances.
3. Automatic locking of all doors and entrances
If you've rushed out of your home and realize you haven't closed your garage door or aren't sure if you locked the front door, in a regular home, someone would need to go back to check. In a smart home, sensors automatically close the garage and front doors. Moreover, you can do this with a single click via the Magiesta smartphone app.
4. Convenience as a foundation
In regular homes, you have to physically move from one place to another to perform tasks like turning off the lights. This might not be a problem in a studio apartment, but if you live in a 200-square-meter two-story house, it's not always convenient. In smart homes, you can control the lights via your phone, multifunctional panel, or sensors that will turn off the lights when they don't detect movement. Smart systems built into your home's infrastructure are especially beneficial for the elderly or people with disabilities, reducing such activities to a minimum.
5. What are the pets doing?
Is the neighbor using our pool again? With sensors and cameras, you can monitor your home from anywhere in the world and know what's happening inside. If this isn’t enough, the Magiesta app or pre-set scenarios allow you to control most of the systems in your home—exactly as you prefer.
6. Preventing natural disasters
Among the most common home accidents are those caused by water, fire, and ice. Repairs after a storm, flood, or fire can be very costly. The Smart Home system alerts you about potential disasters in advance, such as water leaks, weather warnings, or temperature increases inside or around your home. This gives you time to take necessary measures and avoid costly consequences.
7. Controlling devices is not science fiction!
Another possibility that may seem bizarre to some is the fact that connected devices in your Smart Home can "learn" to work together and follow your preferences and daily routines. For example, you can create a scenario where, as you leave for work, the vacuum cleaner starts, lights and music are turned off, and the washing and dishwashing machines are turned on. When you return home, everything is clean and ready for you.
8. Forgetting keys, phones, wallets... ends!
What do we often forget? Wallets, keys, phones... With a Smart Home, this can be prevented in various ways—Alexa can remind you about the things you need when leaving the house, you can lock and unlock the door with your phone, PIN code, fingerprint, or face recognition. It sounds futuristic, but it’s easier knowing you won’t be locked out of your home for any reason.
9. Family safety
If you're often away from home, one concern may be the safety of your children who are alone. Additionally, if you want peace of mind, you'll ensure your Smart Home provides maximum support to security systems. Burglar alarms, alarm systems, surveillance cameras, motion sensors—all are part of a security system designed to give your family maximum protection.
Moreover, the system can be set to send you alerts via SMS and the Magiesta app.
10.Impact on property value
Whenever you plan to sell or rent your Smart Home, you'll undoubtedly have much leeway to find the best possible price. Due to many automated systems, Smart Homes have a higher sale or rental price compared to conventional homes. Therefore, aside from the aforementioned benefits, owning a Smart Home can significantly enhance your quality of life and increase the value of your property.
