The fact that in the near future houses and apartments will become "smart", you probably already guessed. But you may not have imagined the scale of the invasion of devices into living spaces. Product Hunt has presented a rating of the best gadgets for a smart home, and we figured out how to organize your apartment using newfangled devices.

Don't leave the room: smart locks

For a start, it is worth taking care that your technological apartment does not become a tidbit for unscrupulous visitors. Agree, it would be foolish to close a house stuffed with devices with a simple and, worse, understandable to robbers lock.

Lockitron bolt

This lock uses Bluetooth to lock in when you and your smartphone leave the premises. You can grant access rights to friends and family members. Every time someone enters or leaves the apartment, you receive a notification on your phone.

August smart lock

A better known version of the "smart" lock, which has already gained trust and popularity. It runs on batteries and syncs with your smartphone via Bluetooth. The application converts the list of contacts into a list of those who are allowed access to the apartment. August can also automatically close the door behind you, send notifications when someone enters the premises, and much more.

All-seeing eye: surveillance cameras

To know about everything that happens in the house, you just need modern surveillance cameras. Moreover, the new home solutions are small, comfortable and very cool.

Butterfleye

The square camera is equipped with everything you might need. She knows how to recognize movement, shoots videos in Full HD format. Inside - 16 GB of internal memory, a powerful battery, an accelerometer and a magnet for wall mounting. It synchronizes with the smartphone and sends all notifications to it, broadcasts video and informs about the most important things.

Nest cam

Unlike the previous version, the Nest Cam has a wider viewing angle and is able to record sound, ignoring extraneous noise. The camera can not only save the video, but also tell you exactly at what minute this or that event happened. The camera can be placed on a shelf or mounted on a wall.

Arlo

The waterproof wireless camera syncs with your smartphone. If you place several such devices in the house at once, then you can manage them using a cloud service. On the phone screen, you can view the image from four cameras - there is a special application for this. There is a motion sensor and night vision mode.

Cocoon

One device is able to control everything that happens in the house. It uses proprietary technology that detects activity in any room through sound. He does not need additional sensors. Of course, it has both a camera and smartphone sync. You will receive a notification if Cocoon detects something strange. There is also a very cool function: as soon as the device is discharged or someone disconnects it from the Network, you will also find out about it. The cloud service will record the absence of the gadget on the Web and send a notification to your phone.

Canary

This small camera does more than all of the above. In addition to basic functions, it also has a built-in sensor that determines the state of the air. Its humidity, temperature and composition will be recorded and transmitted to your smartphone. In addition, there is a camera, sound sensor and siren.

Breathe deeply: thermostats and filters

A smart home is also an ideal climate inside. It is much easier to keep track of this with a technological thermostat. In addition, it is possible and necessary to control the air condition in the apartment with special filters.

Nest

The third generation of Nest thermostats just got even cooler. This device controls the temperature, remembers your daily routine and sets the climate accordingly. In addition, the gadget can be controlled from a smartphone, and it itself can go into energy saving mode when no one is at home. Sudden jumps in temperature and humidity are perceived by Nest as a cause for alarm - and the thermostat will definitely send a notification about this.

AWAIR

A small device monitors several indicators at once. AWAIR constantly monitors temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide content in the air, the presence of toxic components and dust. The data is formed into a short summary, after which AWAIR offers its own solutions to the problems.

Keen home

The smart ventilation system is built right into the house. It has temperature and pressure sensors, and each of the devices is synchronized with a smartphone and thermostats. In fact, this is the final part of the entire air quality monitoring system. It seems that smart ventilation is impossible to do without.

Point

A small device monitors the sounds that are heard in your apartment, records the temperature and composition of the air. Based on this, the device concludes about the climate in the house and whether everything is in order with it. Understands when the seasons change, when you leave the apartment and what daily routine is typical for your family.

Tado

This thermostat will first ask about everything in the world, because it is important for him to consider every detail. Enter the details of your home and Tado will figure out how to work with it properly. In addition, the device can predict the weather and create an appropriate microclimate in the apartment.

Cozy

The small thermostat can be left on the docking station or taken with you, as it is shaped like a small barrel. He will control the temperature around you, concentrating his attention on your well-being. The idea is to heat and cool a specific room, not an entire apartment. Then it will be possible to save energy and create comfort at the same time.

Let there be light: smart lamps

Probably the most unobvious, but also the most popular devices for a high-tech home are “smart” lamps. People like them very much - and we understand why!

Ivee

A small gadget is a voice assistant that can control the whole house. It is enough to ask him to turn off the light in the kitchen, and the command will be executed. Ivee also streams music using Spotify and calls Uber cabs. If you set an alarm, the virtual assistant will wake you up on time, and in the morning it can tell you the weather forecast for the whole day. You can talk to Ivee: the device will tell you about everything using Wikipedia.

Cleanliness is the key to health: bathroom gadgets

Everyone should take care of themselves. And with new devices it is much easier and more economical to do it.

Eat is served: devices for the kitchen

Fine dining has never been so affordable. With new devices, you can not only cook culinary masterpieces, but also create a semblance of a restaurant right at home.
