Making your home “smarter” can be as simple or complex as you make it. Like any project, be smart and take the time to research and plan.
Rosie Romero Special to the Arizona Daily Star Question: I keep hearing about “smart homes.” What does that mean?
A: The device needed to execute a smart home’s control functions is a smartphone — Android or iPhone. Because our phones are with us nearly all the time, control is literally at our fingertips. A hub allows a single point of control, typically via a smartphone, for the user to interact with all the devices without having multiple control interfaces to contend with. A fully automated home will likely have a hub making it easier to direct the functions the owner wants to engage in from a single device. Turn on specific interior lights when arriving home at night or start the oven upon walking in the door with a touch on your smartphone. Again, the potential list is quite staggering.
Lighting: Go to the hardware store and purchase a smart lightbulb. Yes, even lightbulbs are smart these days. These bulbs have a chip that can be connected to your phone through Wi-Fi. Each manufacturer might have a slightly different procedure, but generally, there is an app that you download to your phone. The app will prompt you through the steps needed to activate that bulb. This system works well with light fixtures not connected to a switch, such as a table lamp.
The devices you want to automate should be thought through. If your goal is to automate many devices, you may want to eventually engage a hub.
