Top 5 ideas to digitally transform your property

Long gone are the days where not-so-flat-screen TVs, wired telephones, and heavy PCs were the only tech seen around the home. We’re now in the epicentre of a covid-cued digital revolution that includes tech-savvy gadgets and gizmos of the home-kind. And there’s no denying they make our home lives more functional and sometimes even — dare we say it — safer. 

So is it time you made a digitally-inspired home transformation? Here are 5 tech-savvy gadgets that will make you contemplate digitally transforming your home, and life! 

Gain more peace of mind with smart smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

Had one of those “have I left the cooker on” moments recently? Smart smoke detectors can save you from ever worrying again. Not only do they sound an alert, but they’ll also send one to your chosen smart device, telling you exactly where and what the cause for immediate concern is. They can replace your traditional detectors or be used alongside them without the need for re-wiring. 

A whole new way to open doors – digital locks 

Whether it’s your parents with dinner, your pet sitter, or babysitter, smart locks allow you to grant exclusive access to your front door. Unlock or lock them remotely through WiFi or ask visitors to use the voice-activation feature found in many newer models. The key-area on the doors’ exterior side is the only equipment that will need replacing which usually doesn’t involve any wiring or connections. 

Goodbye old-school plugs, hello smart plugs

The new wave of energy-conscious smart plugs function like ordinary plugs but connect to your homes’ WiFi. Turn them on and off or set schedules with an Android or iOS mobile app, even when you’re not home. Simply plug them into your standard sockets and control them away! 

A guaranteed wake up call – alarm clocks on wheels 

Never miss your morning run or an important meeting when you invest in an alarm clock on wheels. A forward-thinking invention that leaps into the air, rolls, and even hides until you hit snooze or turn it off. Perfect for the avid deep sleeper! 

Step into the future with a portable projector 

Handheld, mini and super-compatible — 2020 has seen projectors jump innovative miles. Many are great at creating impressive in-home or garden cinemas. Others make for the ideal work buddy as an extension to your PC or laptop and are perfect for business presentations.
