While smart TVs have made the biggest impact, there are so many appliances today that utilize a wireless connection. They can communicate with your phone, or each other, to take the tedium out of your everyday life. Having a high-tech home is more affordable than ever, so it might be time to consider giving a digital upgrade to your favourite household gadgets.

The Modern Smart Home

First, you may not know exactly what a modern smart home looks like. Put simply, it’s when the gadgets in your living space can be controlled by your phone, or a similar device. They may also communicate with one another, for the sake of convenience. Amazon’s smart speakers, famous for their Alexa AI assistant, were one of the earliest examples of smart home tech. Now smart homes are looking to become much more advanced in the near future.

Blockchain integration is just one way home appliances will improve with time. Not many services use the blockchain today except for those that rely on cryptocurrency, like trading platforms. Other examples include crypto casinos, where digital currency is used instead of classic casino chips. Besides cryptocurrency use, blockchain can benefit smart homes by making them more secure, private, and giving homeowners more control over their user data than ever before.

As smart homes become more commonplace, the price of quality smart appliances will also become affordable for the average household. Many homes have already welcomed smart TVs or speakers into the home, which is the first step for most homeowners. Canadians are also well aware of the fact that smart home tech can bring down electricity costs in the home. People may think that home insurance will cover them, however, that isn’t necessarily true, which is why opting for home warranties is a step in the right direction. If you want to know “what does a home warranty cover?” – American Home Shield can answer all those questions. Whether you’re just starting or you’re looking to expand your smart home, here are three appliances you’ll use every day.

Smart Refrigerators

If the smart TV is the centrepiece of your living room, then the fridge is central to your kitchen. Fridges started down the smart home path by offering basic convenience features, like an ice cube machine built into the door. Pretty soon those machines became touchscreen, and then manufacturers ran with the idea of fitting a functional tablet into the door of your cold cache.

That led to smart refrigerators – fridges that do everything a normal one does, but with internet connectivity. They use sensors to keep tabs on the inner climate of the fridge, things like temperature and even humidity. Advanced models even scan fridge contents, provide a camera feed inside, and predict expiration dates for items inside, making future shopping trips much easier.

Smart Coffee Machines

Many people start their day with a cup of coffee. If that’s you, then you may want to consider a smart coffee machine that can save you time and brainpower early in the morning, when you can run short on both. These are sleek, versatile coffee machines that allow you to personalize your brew, but with the added bonus of an internet connection.

Like most other smart appliances, they keep time and can work around your busy schedule. For example, you can use the control app to schedule a brewing time, a few minutes before you roll out of bed or get back from work. That way, you never have to wait for coffee to finish brewing again. Some also take voice commands, making impromptu brews much easier.

Smart Cooking

Our last essential is also found in the kitchen – smart cooking appliances. These are a broad camp of gadgets spanning ovens to microwaves, toasters, and air fryers. Even Wi-Fi pressure cookers exist that manage slow-cooked recipes to perfection. Most of these appliances share features but the oven does the heaviest lifting in most people’s kitchens, so let’s focus on that.

Smart ovens can remember your recipes. Not for how they taste, but for how long they took and which temperatures were ideal. With this feature, you can save these settings and more effectively cook the next dish. They’ll also shut off automatically when the food is done cooking and, if they include geofencing tech, they’ll also turn off once you leave your home area.
