How to use the latest home equipment and kitchen appliance technology to simplify your life
In frustration, have you ever said to your phone, “I thought you were supposed to be smart.”? Some of us gravitate away from tech and others embrace it. If we want to enjoy the power of the machine in our hands, linking it to today’s smart home equipment can multiply our hands and declutter our mental schedules or checklists that continually revolve.
I understand your desire for a quiet mind. However, a quiet mind is a dead, diseased, injured, or otherwise malfunctioning mind. When juggling too many thoughts or expectations, I look for a way to put them down. I have an automated contact calendar that “spits out” reminders freeing mental storage and processing capacity.
What methods do you use to put your mind at ease from any mental revolving checklists of life? Before bed, I list my thoughts on my phone so I can think about them tomorrow. It has worked very well for me to fall asleep in minutes and have hours of restorative sleep.
The rising tide of advancing technology floats all sectors. New-gen home appliance and systems tech is impressive. My new front load washing machine knows more about what I am washing than I do, sips water, and double-checks that the cleaning cycle has been effective via internal water testing. When the water fails the test an additional wash cycle is determined and performed. Poof! Mind blown. Happy Days.
Programmable thermostats have been around for a while. Artificial intelligent learning thermostats can magnify the efficiency of your home heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Incorporating motion sensors and automated room isolation, prepare for your arrival and after your departure.
The motion sensors in your security system can be linked through an isolated central home processing computer, remotely accessible from your phone. Pre-heat your oven and tankless water heater, set walkway lighting, and control the mood of choice with your favourite music awaiting your arrival.
Multiply your hands, add some time to your day, and ease your mind as you add new tech to your home during appliance attrition. Let me say that I reluctantly adapted to new tech. I equated technology with complication or difficulty. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
The quality of life for our elder generation can be significantly improved by the implementation of automation and monitoring. Safety through observation and/or communication ease in their retirement or assisted living community will help them feel your support and love.
The same systems could support your children who arrive home from school before you can get through traffic. A remotely controlled electronic lock is more secure than a key under the doormat, and a code can be forgotten or compromised.
Brands with their finger on the pulse of the market like LG, Samsung, GE, or Bosch are incentivised by your business to make your life easier and more efficient. Being wise is not only the accumulation of knowledge and experience. Wisdom happens when we use knowledge to make a wise choice. Make a wise choice the next time a piece of home equipment needs replacement.
