Smart Refrigeration
A smart fridge can tell you when you are running out of milk! You may have to spend some time setting it up properly, but it can improve your daily life in many ways. You'll be able to find recipes using the touchscreen, create grocery lists, set expiry dates for foods, coordinate schedules for family members and much more.
How many times have you stood in front of the fridge with the door wide open as you search for something to eat? Some smart refrigerators allow you to view the contents of your fridge without even having to open the door. Simply knock twice and the door will turn transparent, meaning you won't lose cold air and your food will stay fresher for longer.
WiFi connectivity means you’ll also be able to get new software updates for your fridge as they’re developed and released. There are several brands and models of smart fridges on the market now such as those by LG and Samsung, so be sure to do some research to see which is best for your lifestyle. And don’t forget about the wonderful time of year that is Black Friday/Cyber Monday, as these are the best times to make technology purchases.
Control Your Sprinklers
A smart watering system acts as your personal watering assistant. Many IoT sprinkler controllers even adjust schedules to account for changes in weather. You can control watering with voice commands or other smart home platforms.
For instance, you can ask Alexa to tell your Rachio Sprinkler Controller to start watering the lawn. You can start, stop, pause, skip zones and create a custom-run schedule for your sprinklers, all from your remote. Plus depending on where you live you may even be eligible for rebates for using a smart sprinkler system!
