“The smart home is a future you can create now. How to build it

A smart home is a place where all devices and systems are controlled by a smartphone or voice commands. You can turn off the lights, close the blinds, turn on the TV and even start the coffee machine by simply saying “Salute, make coffee”.

This helps not only to make life easier, but also to improve its quality. In the project of “Championship” and SberMegaMarket we select smart gadgets for those who try to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

How did the concept of “smart home” appear?

It is thanks to the human desire for comfort that the very concept of “smart home” and household appliances in general appeared. The first home appliances began to be used at the beginning of the last century: the vacuum cleaner was invented in 1901, and the first serial washing machine – in 1907. Logically, over time, people wanted to integrate all these appliances into a single network.

One of the first working samples of the “smart home” system is considered to be Electronic Computing Home Operator IV (ECHO IV), which was assembled by engineer James Sutherland in 1966. This computer, the size of several cabinets, could control the ventilation system, print a shopping list, and turn on appliances. But in those years, it was still an isolated case.

The very concept of “smart home” appeared later – in 1975 the Scottish company Pico Electronics presented the first standard for controlling home devices – X10. Since then, the criteria of “smart home” have been changing along with the development of technology. Today this concept includes automation of devices and systems, controlling them by voice commands or smartphone, the ability to monitor the home from anywhere in the world via the Internet, as well as efficient use of energy and increased security.

However, convenience isn’t everything. Smart home systems take care of the health of its occupants. In this article, we select gadgets that will suit both athletes and those who simply care about their well-being.

Create fresh and clean air

Air purification devices monitor air pollution levels and automatically turn on when needed. This is especially helpful for allergy sufferers or those with breathing problems.

For example, the affordable Xiaomi AC-M7-SC air purifier synchronizes with your smartphone via Wi-Fi and shows the level of pollution in real time. More expensive models like Stadler Form Roger can even destroy COVID-19 viruses. The effectiveness of the device has been confirmed by the European Center for Allergy Research ECARF. Premium appliances like the Dyson Purifier Humidify + Cool Formaldehyde not only cleans the air, but also cools, moisturizes and evenly distributes it throughout the room.

Keep it clean

The phrase “Cleanliness is the key to health”, popularized half a century ago, is still true today. But you don’t need to pick up a broom or mop anymore – just give the command to a robotic vacuum cleaner. This useful and affordable gadget is equipped with sensors that help it avoid obstacles and avoid dangerous places.

For a small studio apartment where you don’t need complicated navigation and high power, the most inexpensive models like Youtech Vacuum+ will suffice. More advanced options, such as Dreame Bot L10 Pro have more suction power, high-capacity batteries for long cleaning, can build a virtual map of the room (this allows them to clean even in the dark).

On top of that, you can also get a smart wastebasket that will do the dirty work for you. For example, the Townew T1S prepares waste for disposal by automatically sealing the filled bag and replacing it with a new one.

Don’t forget about climate control

A comfortable indoor temperature is important for wellness, too. You may not even realize you have a headache in the morning because you’re sleeping in the stuffiness. To create an ideal microclimate, smart home systems are equipped with temperature and humidity sensors – these are simple and inexpensive elements that will help monitor the “weather” in the house.

But sensors alone are not enough, you also need an air conditioner that can be integrated into the system, or at least a universal remote control for smart home, or an outlet to control conventional appliances that are not equipped with Wi-Fi and other compatible protocols. It is also worth buying a humidifier, for example, Polaris PUH 9105 in addition ionizes and aromatizes the air, and the “warm steam” function is ideal for a child’s room. To maintain a comfortable temperature, you can use a smart fan, such as the Xiaomi Mijia Smart Standing Fan 2. It has eight speeds and a special blade design that creates a more even and gentle airflow.

Keep an eye on your nutrition

A smart home will also help with proper nutrition. It is not without reason that one of the first mass devices on the market was a kitchen computer N316, which allowed, in fact, only to work with recipes and served as a cutting board.

Today, the concept of “smart kitchen” implies much more in terms of healthy eating. For example, water filters like Viomi Al Mineral PurificationEROx 1200G not only purify water from pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics and bacteria, but also keep the mineral content of water optimal for health.

For cooking without fat and oil, you can use air grills, such as the COSORI Smart Air Fryer, which can be controlled from your smartphone and is inexpensive, and the REDMOND SkyCooker M224S multicooker, which makes healthy porridge for breakfast while you’re still asleep.

Control your sleep

Getting a full night’s sleep is essential to maintaining physical and mental health. Lack of sleep can lead to poor memory, concentration and mood, as well as the development of various diseases. That is why it is important to comfortably equip the bedroom.

Thanks to modern devices, you can create the perfect atmosphere in order to fall asleep faster. With the help of special bulbs, you can set up light scenarios that mimic sunset or sunrise, creating a pleasant illumination in the bedroom. “Smart Home” can also control the sound system to play soothing music or nature sounds to help you relax. You can also install a starry sky projector to act as a night light. And also a motor for the curtain rod, so that the curtains open and close automatically or on command.

Thus, smart home systems provide a comfortable and healthy life. And thanks to our promo code CHAMP on SberMegaMarket you can buy everything you need at a bargain price, saving money and time.
