In recent years, we have seen how IoT has developed rapidly while providing customers with devices that help them eliminate the daily mundane chores from their task list. Especially during the pandemic (in the year 2020), we saw how IoT devices provided contactless operations and automated the production process.
The pandemic helped everyone realise the benefits of IoT products & solutions and the importance of contactless operations. With a new beginning, let’s have a look at the smart devices that are a must for the year 2021!
Here is a list of products that you might want to install before you hit the summer season:
- Smart Lighting or Mood Lighting:
Lights are the most commonly consumed products as every household, or commercial property cannot run without proper lighting. And with the increase in smart home and office projects within the Realty industry, lights’ consumption will skyrocket. Even if you feel like you don’t need a smart light right now, you will think otherwise as the year 2021 goes by.
With an IoT enabled smart light system, you can operate the light with your smartphone, control the dimming and create workflows, schedules and scenes. There are various types of smart lights such as panel lights, profile lights and RGBW Lights available in the market, and some LED drivers are also embedded with smart chip to provide automation features. - Smart Switches:
Every household and office has various appliances and switches, and it would be easier to automate the appliance and control it with a smartphone rather than controlling it manually. With smart switches, you can handle any appliance or switch anytime, anywhere, without any hassle.
There are two types of smart switches present in the market. A smart retrofit switch is a box-like device installed within the switchboard to automate the switches. And a smart touch switch is a device with high sensitivity and touch capabilities that automates appliances while replacing the pre-existing manual switches. We are in an era where smart switches are necessary; whether you opt for retrofit or touch switches, you can explore endless possibilities of IoT with the smart device. - Smart Thermostat:
Whether it was any household or office, creating the perfect temperature was impossible until Smart thermostat was introduced in the market. A smart thermostat is a device that allows you to control the temperature settings from your smartphone while providing a detailed power consumption report for better management.
The combination of IoT, AI and ML enables the thermostat with learning capabilities. This thermostat understands the ideal temperature required and offers similar settings to the user. Scheduling, workflow and voice commands are other features that are available in various smart thermostats. - Smart Security:
Smart Security does not just refer to one product; it is a group of smart products that provide smart security to the user. It is a combination of a Smart Doorbell, Smart Lock and motion sensor that helps increating the ultimate security system for the user with 24/7 real-time monitoring. Whether you are travelling or are leaving kids home alone, you will be able to monitor your house or office with just one click on your smartphone. - Smart Plugs:
Since smart switches are installed within the switchboard, you can’t take such switches while travelling. In contrast, a smart plug is a portable device where you can plug it in any Indian standard socket to automate any appliance.
The smart plug button allows you to configure the device at one click, while the LED light on the button indicates whether the device was successfully configured or not. While working from remote areas or while travelling, carrying such devices are pretty useful as we can use them as per our convenience.
The above-listed devices would be the most trending smart home devices of the year 2021. Considering that light is the most consumed household appliance and tends to utilise a lot of energy; smart lighting solution is going to be a demanding technology. Similarly, other products will also become an essential requirement in any household or office premises this year.
IoT or Internet of Things is a technology that provides a positive perspective to the user by showcasing how the appliance’s control is in their hands. Whether it is a voice command or a toggle to the switch or set up a timer on your smartphone, Smart devices can be controlled in any form, any time and from anywhere in the world if you have strong internet connectivity.
