Homes just keep on getting smarter. In 2020, we are already seeing some significant improvements in the automation of various elements within homes. IoT devices, such as Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Homepod, have made it easy to control smart appliances and devices. With Zion Market Research predicting the smart home automation market ballooning to over $53 billion by 2022, with a growth rate of nearly 15% per year until then, this technology is just starting to ramp up.
Smart automated home technology is all about integration. Anything that features smart technology can connect to anything else that is also smart. Making these connections as efficient as possible is also a primary objective of smart home automation. Artificial intelligence has proven to be highly capable of turning a home into a place that is more helpful to our everyday needs, while being more energy-efficient when doing so.
The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Smart Homes
AI, with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT), is on track to augment the current capabilities of smart home devices and appliances. Thanks to the predictive capabilities of AI, you will be able to maintain healthier habits, while also monitoring your heath in real-time. AI in the home can identify the early warning signs that you may have an illness and assist you in taking the appropriate actions. Digital Journal expects the "smart wellness" industry to surpass $500 billion by 2023, growing at nearly 25% per year.
The Smart Bedroom
A key feature of an automated home is a smart bedroom. There is now special software that will help you improve your quality of sleep, by creating an environment more conducive to a good night's rest. The way this works is that AI-powered smart home devices monitor you while you sleep, adjusting the temperature to ensure you sleep as well as possible. There are also apps that are connected into your IoT devices within your bedroom, such as a smart mattress. These apps can keep track of how long you are asleep and verbally assist you in maintaining helpful sleeping habits.
Smart Furniture
There are an increasing number of furniture brands that are releasing smart sofas. These can automatically adjust to your preferred comfort level, taking out much of the fiddling you would normally be doing to get comfortable. Wardrobes and dressing tables are also getting smarter. The "smart" versions of these classic pieces of furniture are now able to automatically organize your clothes and accessories, based on how often you use them.
Home Security
Artificial intelligence is becoming deeply embedded within home security systems, as part of a smart home automation suite. AI can apply facial recognition algorithms in the blink of an eye, identifying friendlies, as well as intruders. These systems can differentiate, with near-perfect accuracy, whether someone is a family member, guest, visitor, or trespasser. This helps significantly cut down on the number of false alarms a home security system would have. Using all sorts of sensors and cameras, AI-powered home security systems cut out the need for humans to monitor the security of a home.
