Future Home Technologies

    * Automated Robots -

     The one-armed and three-fingered device can pick-up items, tidy up,         operate various machines and even serve drinks to guests. An integrated  sensor system prevents the robot from clamping down around a human’s  arm. Additionally, it can be controlled via an embedded touchscreen,     though it also answers to voice commands. It will even respond to     preprogrammed gestures.

     Devices like the iRobot and Neato are designed to autonomously travel     around your home and clean the floors. That’s about as far as we’ve come     for consumer-based robots anyway.

    * Lighting Controls - 

    a smart thermostat, can even be programmed to turn on lights in your     home and cool the air inside as soon as you return from vacation. Imagine  being able to program your system so that it turns on lights at various     times of the day or night.

    Provided you have the right setup in your home, lights can now be     controlled from mobile devices, touchscreen panels or an automated     system.

    

    

   * Smart Appliances - 

    we’ll all begin to realize the benefits of owning smart appliances. Imagine  a refrigerator that can have a nice glass of water waiting for you when you     get to the kitchen — ordered directly from your mobile phone. Think of     how awesome an internet-ready microwave would be — automatically     tweeting out your quick meal to the world. Okay, so that last example was     more of a joke but you get the point.

    most exciting about the idea of smart appliances is that they will become increasingly more convenient, learning your preferences and making lives easier. Although, it does bring up a few questions about what big data  companies might track, such as what time you eat every day and    information like that.

    

    * Centralized Entertainment - 

    outdated and pretty inconvenient these days. Sluggish and buggy set-top boxes are only a small portion of the problem. It’s no surprise then that a streaming revolution is happening right now. The future of entertainment lies in a centralized streaming system which provides homeowners — and guests — instant access to their digital entertainment.  

    Future homes will include a more centralized entertainment and streaming system designed to offer convenience and pleasure. For example, it’s about time we did away with cable outlets and moved to installing a closed ethernet network in new homes .

    

    * Smart Toilets - 

    There are toilets in Japan that will perform a urinalysis after people do their business, and then inform them whether or not they have diabetes — or are at risk for it. It seems that’s one of the main uses for smarter toilets, keeping us healthy, which makes a lot of sense when you think about it. You can learn a lot by analyzing stools and urine.

other smart features like automated deodorizers and flushing systems, or heated seats are also pretty useful. Especially that last one, because no one likes to sit down on a freezing cold toilet seat.

    most advanced and “smart” toilets on the market. It includes an integrated foot warmer, heated seat, deodorizer, air dryer, bidet, motion-activated cover and seat, and of course an illuminated touchscreen panel with support for MP3 music playback.

    

    * Power Tracking -

    It tracks a home’s energy consumption, associated costs and carbon footprint by the minute, in order to allow Homeowners to better manage their usage. It can even analyze appliances and equipment being used in the home and tell owners when they need to upgrade to more energy-efficient products. Furthermore, it’s constantly being modified to add new functionality and become a more useful system.

    so why doesn’t your home tell you information like that? Think of an air conditioning unit that can send you alerts when the air filter needs to be changed.
