Automating Your Phuket Home or Apartment

House automation may help manage a home easier and make it more pleasant to live in. Certain home automation systems can maintain appropriate temperatures, monitor security, and even notify severe concerns such as HVAC or water heater problems. A look at home automation technology and how it may help homeowners.

MONITORING

A flooded house may be a catastrophe if not discovered in time. Many houses have completed basements with carpeting, furniture, and gadgets that may be destroyed by water. Even worse, water left in a basement for any period of time may cause mold to develop and spread throughout the home, rendering it uninhabitable. Smart water leak monitoring systems can detect leaky pipes and basement flooding, alerting the Phuket homeowner before it's too late.

When sewage ejectors fail or leak from the ejection pipe, sewer lines back up, making the problem much worse (read smelly). The sooner sewage leaks/backups in the basement or crawlspace are discovered, the better. Some smart water leak sensors will connect with current smart home systems like Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and more.

THERMOSTATS

Keeping a house at the right temperature keeps the occupants healthy. Heat and humidity throughout the summer months may create mildew, warped wood, and other damage. Lack of heat in the winter may cause pipes to freeze and break, causing water damage. An internet-connected smartphone and a smart thermostat allow a Phuket homeowner to manage their home's temperature from anywhere. Many of these smart thermostats can conserve energy by changing when the heat/cooling cycle begins and stops. When connected with a smartphone with geolocation settings, smart thermostats may turn down or up when the homeowner leaves or returns.

Many of the newer smart thermostats can communicate with contemporary HVAC systems and exchange information such as when the system requires maintenance, when filters should be replaced, and more. Some smart thermostats may even notify a chosen service provider of a possible problem, and the service provider can subsequently contact the homeowner to arrange a repair visit. A well-maintained HVAC system may save the homeowner a lot of money on their energy bills.

LIGHTING

Smart lighting allows homeowners to control lights remotely through their smartphones. Homes that seem to be occupied are less likely to be targeted by thieves seeking an easy score. The use of geolocation services on a smartphone allows homeowners to configure lights to switch on and off as they enter and exit their homes.

Smart lighting may be achieved using WiFi-connected smart outlets or switches. Homeowners that are comfortable installing these devices themselves may do so, or they can engage a Phuket electrician to do it. There are also plug-and-play smart outlets, where the homeowner just plugs a smart outlet into an existing outlet and then plugs in a lamp or other light source. When linked to the home network, the outlet may be operated through a smartphone.

ROBOT CLEANER

Unless you love cleaning, a robotic vacuum cleaner is a perfect equipment for you. A robotic vacuum cleaner is ideal if you have pets or small children. When you put cables up out of the way and put little toys away, you end up with a neater house with no effort. On specific days of the week (or every day), the robot vacuum may be programmed to clean, and it can be scheduled to start during quieter times. Homeowners simply need to clean the vacuum brushes and empty the dust box on a regular basis. Other than that, it is a set-and-forget robot vacuum cleaner that maintains a house clean.

In addition, some robot vacuums include a built-in mopping function for non-carpeted floors and sophisticated mapping capabilities that enable homeowners to select the order in which rooms are cleaned. Starts at around the same price as a normal vacuum cleaner and goes higher. In terms of labor savings, the homeowner will save time by not having to vacuum as much.

BLUETOOTH

Smart house locks can be unlocked with a smartphone. Guests may get temporary lock access through a phone app. Smart locks are ideal for short-term rental property owners. Guest may come and leave as needed throughout their stay and the smart lock can be adjusted to enable access to the following group of guests.

Amazon Prime's Ring Alarm service allows Amazon deliveries to be delivered straight to the homeowner's house. Products may be placed in the garage, behind a closed door, or anywhere else that Amazon delivery drivers can reach. When packages are not safe from porch pirates, it is beneficial to have a delivery service that delivers behind the door.

SOFTWARE

Monitor your cooking or laundry with smart appliances including refrigerators, ovens, and washer/dryers. There are cameras inside some of the more advanced smart refrigerators so you can see what you have while shopping. When the bake time is up, the oven may send notifications to a smartphone to remind you to remove the food. My wife needs this so badly....
