According to Malaysia's "Star" recently reported, at present, most of the smart technology can be smoothly integrated into the existing home life. Although you don't have to rewire the entire house in order to install a voice-activated light, if more and more smart devices are added, you need to think about it holistically so that you can enjoy the beauty and convenience of smart life in the future.
1. Plan hidden hubs
Even if smart homes use more wireless connectivity in the future, related devices still need wired sockets with USB interfaces when charging, and this situation will not change soon. You can use specially assembled drawers, wall-embedded niches, or even mini closets as a point for the Octopus hub. Hubs take up less space than traditional plug-in boards.
2. Don't skimp on WiFi
When WiFi is plugged in, the signal extends to every room in your home, and as more and more devices are connected, your WiFi router performance and bandwidth speed will be key factors affecting the smart home experience. If there are more people in the family, when everyone is online, the network speed will slow down. So, you need to consider buying a high-performance router and a larger data plan. If the house is large, please also consider using an additional router to enhance the WiFi signal, I believe it will be worth the money.
3. Fight off "vampires"
The "vampire" referred to here refers to the fact that many household appliances and smart devices will run out at night and "secretly suck" electricity at night, causing your electricity bills to increase significantly. While you can't deal with them with garlic and silver bullets, you can save hundreds of dollars a year by taking some appropriate precautions, such as turning off the power in time and unplugging inconspicuously.
4. Turn technology into art
In the era of iPads and flat-screen TVs, many tech tools are works of art in their own right, and of course that doesn't mean you want it to be in sight frequently. For example, you can hide a flat-screen TV, stereo behind a piece of art or furniture when you're not using these smart devices, or ask a carpenter to create a closet for storing, hiding printers and WiFi routers.
5. Stay safe
Security systems are also an important pillar of smart homes. Whether it's a mobile phone child lock or a surveillance camera that transmits live video after being activated when triggered, an experienced home security expert can help you choose and equip the most suitable security device. Of course, for these devices to really work and avoid being hacked, you also need to carefully check that the online security measures for the internet in your home are in place.
