As we find ourselves walking into the year 2022 in the midst of a raging pandemic, there is a lot to unpack from the years before when it comes to smart home automation systems and the trends that were witnessed. We have to acknowledge that in the post-Covid world, everything has turned upside down, and people are gradually learning to live with the new changes. However, in doing so people are striving to do away with old methods of living and that’s what we need to dissect to understand the future of smart home automation systems and the trends that would follow.
Let’s skim through the five most anticipated smart home automation systems trends to keep an eye on 2022.
a) Support In Education:
Looking for solutions to empower online distance learning in a non-covid world would have been an incomprehensible task. However, the pandemic has changed things in the realm of education. One of the major aspects of life that changed during the pandemic is the way we educate our children. With Covid taking a toll on the physical form of education more and more people moved towards online learning. The access to IoT-based devices students as well as teachers find it easier to communicate with each other. It’s surely easier for teachers to share study material with students and interact with each other.
b) Security Control:
Pandemic has not just brought us closer to our homes but also has distanced us from the outside world. In this strange time, people are realizing the utmost need to elevate the security of their homes. In 2022, we are expecting more and more people to turn toward smart security systems that would help them monitor their homes from distance. Security control has been in trend for a while now but the time has come to bring out innumerable solutions to make the security even more robust and protected.
c) Smart Home Appliances:
We have already been impacted by the presence of smart home appliances through virtual assistant technology like Siri, Alexa, and more. However, we have recently started to witness the integration of smart home technology into home appliances. In 2022, we may get to see advanced home appliances with smart home automation systems to make life easier for the customers.
d) Energy Efficient Devices
One of the most significant aspects of home automation is using energy efficiently. There are already products that essentially sense space occupancy with advanced sensors before they turn on or off. To further efficiency, home automation systems ensure the efficacious use of electricity and other resources at homes. Although, the year 2022 should be about the products that are inclusive of green energy.
e) Health Monitoring Products
Health monitors could easily be the most logical way to go about when we talk about home automation systems in 2022. With smartwatches, we are already witnessing an aspect of it. It’s high time to improve this existing technology further. Imagine how easy it would be to take the further brunt of the ongoing and any future pandemics. Not just that, portable health devices can be phenomenally helpful in saving a lot of lives with innumerable medical conditions.
f) Smart Lighting:
Home automation systems harbor a range of possibilities when it comes to smart lighting. Smart lighting is already thriving astoundingly in the home automation space. There are already many variants with numerous exciting features installed in them. Although, in 2022, we expect more innovations and additional features such as extra energy efficiency, effective occupancy sensors, and so much more. Another great add-on would be the ability of smart lights to adjust automatically as per the availability of daylight.
g) Robot Assistants:
The world is already well acquainted with virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, etc, however, the inception of robotic assistants is relatively new and demands more attention. Over the years we have witnessed the growth in self-driving cars, robotic vacuum cleaners, and more. In 2022, robotic assistants need more polishing and simplification so that they can be made more viable for people.
Conclusion
The ever-expanding space of smart home automation comes with many possibilities for change and improvement. Every day we are witnessing either an added feature or an entirely new product. However, we must understand home automation helps us attain a sustainable future where we would be able to minimize the use of energy by strengthening our comforts.
