When you think of smart homes, what comes to mind?

A house that is able to be controlled remotely with the tap of a finger on your phone or computer? A house where all the electricity is generated by solar panels and there are no heating bills ever again? A home where every room has a camera so you can see who's at your door before opening it?

For some people, these ideas are just fantasies. For others, they're reality. And for those lucky few living in this utopia-like future world, they have never been happier.

Here are a few smart devices you can try:

  1. Smart Speaker - Amazon Echo, Google Home, Apple Homepod. They are usually the best way to start your path of making your home smart. Although they can't do everything (read: cook you dinner), these devices will allow you to control many things within your home like lights, locks on doors and alarms that keep track of windows opening or when somebody.
  2. Smart Camera - Smart Doorbells come in all shapes and sizes, from being a simple camera attached to your door to an advanced piece of machinery that also includes a buzzer, camera controls and even the ability to talk through it. They can allow you to see who is at your door without having to open the door or even be home, which is great.
  3. Smart Lighting - With this, you can control your lights from your device to turn them on and off with minimum effort.
  4. And that's just a few! There are many other products that you can try in order to make your home smarter for a cheaper price than building a new house from scratch with all the latest technology. Start small with these products and go full smart.

There are many apartments in Bangalore that are smart home enabled. The latest technology used in these apartments makes life absolutely easy for the residents. There are no worries like who has taken out the garbage or where you left off after watching your favorite serial last night. Once such apartment is Godrej Ananda.

It is very beneficial to get into smart home living because it helps you save money and time that would otherwise get wasted by doing menial tasks like changing song, turning off lights etc.
