One area where technology has exploded over the last decade is in the home with what is now called “smart homes,” and their popularity will only rise in 2023. These homes integrate state-of-the-art technology and use artificial intelligence in every room to make your housework for you.
If you are on the hunt to make your house a little bit smarter, this article will discuss four of the most exciting smart home trends you will see cropping up in 2023.
Four Smart Home Trends on Our 2023 Radar
1) Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats are already present in many new constructions, and it is easy to see why. This type of technology could allow you to save tons on heating and cooling by allowing remote control and increased flexibility.
These thermostats offer a wide variety of features that allow homeowners to create heating and cooling schedules, as well as utilize newly developed geolocation capabilities. These features allow homeowners to exercise more control over their thermostats without having to operate it in-person.
One of the best aspects of this product is that it is also compatible with other smart home staples like Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home Kit, and more. Besides helping you save money, these systems also help your home to become more eco-friendly, making smart thermostats a double win for 2023.
2) Touch Free Tech
Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, tech developers have been rushing to meet the demand and release new technology that helps to make the world a little less hands-on. We have already seen this tech in everyday spaces, like retailers with touchless hand sanitizer dispensers and the like, but this technology is now coming into residential homes.
This technology includes the very trendy touchless doorbell, which allows guests to announce their arrival without having to touch a shared surface. We also see this tech integrated into lighting fixtures and other household appliances allowing users to control them via smartphone apps.
The days of The Clapper lights may be past us as touchless tech is only set to become more widely available in 2023. Homeowners will surely be rushing to get their hands on this hands-off future.
3) Artificial Intelligence
Many of us have gotten used to Apple’s digital assistant Siri or Amazon’s famous Alexa. Still, new leaps in artificial intelligence could be changing the game when it comes to smart home automation. At-home assistance technology is going to take the market by storm in 2023.
New developments are making it easier than ever to integrate artificial intelligence into your home. With both voice-activated and app-initiated controls, smart home AI is highly flexible and able to sync various appliances within the home.
This includes capabilities like controlling speakers and surround sound systems, adjusting lighting fixtures, locking doors, and more. Much like the touchless tech previously discussed, these innovations are making it easier than ever to control your home from only your smartphone.
As these new developments start knocking on front doors, homeowners could start to see artificial intelligence in every room.
4) At-Home Health Technology
The closure of gym facilities during the pandemic revitalized the at-home health kick of the 1990s and catered to a new age of at-home tech aimed at improving health and lifestyle. The smart mirror acquired by Lululemon in June 2020 allows users to complete guided workouts right in front of their bedroom mirror.
The smart home health technology boom doesn’t end at fitness advancements either. Smart toilets analyze waste to ensure your digestive tract is working correctly, while smart air purifiers help to keep air quality higher than ever before. This tech highlights the trendy desire to integrate home and health that we know will be popular in 2023.
Boosting Your Home’s IQ
The features highlighted in this article only scratch the surface of what smart homes may become as technology is further integrated into our daily routines. With self-ringing doors, smart thermostats, and AI-controlled lights, there won’t be much left to do around the house beyond 2023.
Smart home technology doesn’t end here, though; home security is also being revitalized by smart home technology. From high-quality cameras to window and door sensors, this new tech is making homes safer than ever.
