5 Cool Smart Tech Upgrades To Add In Your Home Remodel

Smart homes are the hottest trend in the country's real estate market. A recent report projects the U.S smart home market to hit $70,126.7 million by 2026. More homeowners have embraced this innovative technology for improved safety, wellness, interconnectivity, comfort, energy-efficiency, customization, and convenience. If you have a home remodel in the pipeline, smart home features should be at the top of your list of additions.

Read on and explore some cool, smart home ideas you should consider for your home remodel.

1. Smart Air Conditioning

For hotter climates, an air conditioner is essential for a comfy and healthy home. An efficient AC unit allows you to enjoy your living space throughout the year. Smart ACs feature smart thermostats and allow remote air conditioning from a smartphone app.

Smart AC not only offers enhanced convenience, it also helps you save money on your home's cooling bill. Some smart air cons come with an error diagnosis and preventive mechanism technology, usage details, smart weekly scheduling, automatic programming, and other cool features.

2. Smart Security Systems

A smart home security system helps you monitor your home's security remotely through wireless technology. The cutting-edge technology gives you more control over every aspect of your home's security from a single device. With the remote security control, you become proactive instead of reactive in security monitoring.

Some of the best smart security features include integrated video cameras, automated entry system, smart doorbells, smart locks, heat/motion sensors, and radon/carbon monoxide detectors. Other convenient features to look out for include energy usage monitoring, alarm triggers/alerts, door chimes, and smart smoke/ fire/water leak alerts. The addition of a smart security system in your home remodel creates a safer living space and also improves the value of the property.

3. Smart Lighting

Smart lighting technology is one of the coolest additions to a modern home. The automated lighting system leverages advanced technology in lighting bulbs. The smart LED bulbs connect to a smartphone app to allow remote control of your home's lighting.

The cool, smart lighting technology gives you total control of your home's lighting system. Besides the improved convenience, the technology can save money on your electricity bills. You can monitor which parts of your home need lighting, and then you can switch off lights in empty rooms. With smart lighting, you enjoy peace of mind because you can check the status of all lights on the property.

For improved ambience, you can add mood lighting to the smart lighting setup. The smart lights can also connect to other smart features, including the home assistants, entertainment system, security cameras, and smart thermostats.

4. Smart Entertainment System

Integrating smart technology into your home remodel can improve your family's overall health and wellness. One technology that sees to this is a smart home entertainment system. A smart home entertainment system comprises a central hub with remote technology or a mesh Wi-Fi system.

Some devices and features you can add to the system include smart speakers, smart displays, sound bars and speakers, streaming technology/devices, and smart TVs/projectors. You can control your home's multi-room entertainment system from a central hub.

The system can also connect to a home assistant or smartphone app for improved convenience through voice commands. For the best effect, consider integrating the entertainment system to the rest of smart home systems such as lights and air conditioning.

5. Smart Tech-Friendly USB Outlets

With the addition of smart technology around your house during the remodel, make your outlets more tech-friendly. Your smartphones, home assistants, entertainment system, tablets, and other devices require USB ports for convenient charging. The built-in USB ports allow fast charging for your devices. The outlets free the other conventional outlets for other appliances.
