Smart Home Technology Today's Digital Innovation

In the modern era like now, technological developments are very rapid and become important things for everyday life, one of which is smart home technology. Smart home itself is a technology that promises convenience in daily use for its users. One example of the use of smart home technology, namely the activity of turning on and off lights easily by operating them remotely using only a smartphone that is already connected by the same connection as the lamp.

So what exactly is a smart home? Smart home is an automation technology for the home that involves the control and automation of lighting, air conditioning and security, as well as household appliances such as washing machines, ovens or refrigerators. "The development has been quite good, especially because it is accompanied by smartphone technology and increasingly quality internet networks. So we can control all systems at home, from CCTV, lights, air conditioning, electricity usage to opening and closing the curtains, everything can be done through our gadgets," . In essence, smart home is a technology that can control the house automatically remotely.

• TYPES OF SMART HOME

There are various kinds of smart home technology that can be used in our homes. The following is an example of smart home technology that you can use at home.

1. Smart LED

The lamp is one of the important components that must be in the house, because the lamp is a source of lighting that is needed by everyone. There are many types of lamps, one of which is the LED lamp which is a type of energy-saving lamp. Currently, you can easily control LED lights just by using a smartphone that is already connected to the same Wifi as the LED lights. This technology is called smart LED. With smart LEDs you can not only turn on and turn off lights remotely, but with smart LEDs you can change the color of the LEDs, set a schedule for the lights to turn on only by using the applications on your Smartphone.

2. Smart Plug

Smart Plug is the latest technology from smart home innovation. Smart Plug itself is not much different from Smart LED in its use. Smart Plug also relies on remote control by utilizing a Wifi connection that is connected to the application on the smartphone. This smart plug innovation is useful for automating devices that previously could not be controlled automatically just by accessing applications, such as for example a fan that previously could not be controlled remotely, only with this innovation, the fan plugged into the smart plug can be controlled automatically via smartphone screen.

3. Smart Door Lock

A smart door locking system or so-called smart door lock is a more sophisticated home security device compared to an ordinary door lock system that still uses a manual method with a physical key to open it. By using a smart door lock, you can open the door using a fingerprint or finger print system, enter a pin, and RFID. Smart door lock is slightly different from other smart home devices because it uses a battery to operate it. Smart door locks give you convenience, where every occupant can have direct access automatically via the internet network to open and or lock the door.

The examples above are just a few of the many existing Smart home technologies. There are many more smart home technologies that make it easier for you in everyday life. That doesn't mean smart home technology doesn't have its drawbacks. Examples of the shortcomings of smart home technology, namely the relatively expensive installation costs and systems that can experience sudden system errors. Once upon a time I was going to use an application that was used to operate a smart home product when suddenly the application crashed until I couldn't use it. However, with smart home technology, you don't have to worry when you leave the house. Because everything can be integrated with a remote control system on a smartphone, which helps you to monitor your home using only a smartphone provided you have an internet connection.

According to my OPINION, this technology is already very good for the present, it's just that it can be further improved for applications to support the technology so that unwanted things do not happen such as system errors.

I also started to apply this Smart Home concept at home to adjust the lights. For large and luxurious houses, vendors or consultants usually use this concept to apply.
