To give you an idea and visualize the concept, a smart home is a dwelling equipped with internet-connected devices that allow for the automation and control of various basic daily functions through a smart mobile device or tablet, such as lighting, climate control in a specific area, security, and appliances.

Smart bulbs like Philips Hue or Xiaomi Yeelight will allow you to fine-tune the lighting control in your home. In this regard, you just need to install an application on your mobile phone to intervene in the lighting of your home from a single device, adjusting the color and intensity of the light according to the ambiance you want to create.

The most well-known ones are Amazon Echo or Google Home. By using these instruments, you can control all the devices in your home using voice commands, from playing music to turning on the lights or adjusting the temperature.

An investment to enhance the security of your home that won’t let you down. Motion sensors, like those from the brand Aqara, are capable of activating devices such as lights or security cameras when they detect movement in your home, increasing security and enhancing energy efficiency.

Can you imagine opening the door of your house with your mobile phone? Now it’s possible thanks to smart technology. With locks like those from Yale or August, you can open and close the doors of your home from your mobile device, as well as control who enters and exits with real-time notifications.

Security cameras will allow you to monitor and have a rigorous and exhaustive control of your home from anywhere with your mobile phone, thanks to their night vision or motion detection functions.
