An intelligent revolution – smart homes in the property industry
Text from 2016. Laws, rates and prices may have changed since then. Ask an agent
The digitalisation of life is slowly exceeding the boldest expectations, more and more digital-style solutions are appearing in the property industry, and for several years an intelligent revolution has been under way on the market. Ladies and gentlemen, today on the blog: the smart home in all its glory.
To quote a classic – "impossible is nothing", that is, the impossible does not exist. It is hard to disagree, considering what we are dealing with in our own backyard. So what characterises intelligent homes and what sets them apart from traditional buildings?
The smart home concept is above all a range of innovative technological solutions thanks to which a private space is adapted to the way its users live. Sounds unbelievable? Rightly so. A system of sensors and receivers and the property's modern ICT interfaces make it possible to integrate all the home's systems and control them with digital devices, e.g. a tablet, smartphone or laptop.
Have you ever imagined that with one button in an app you could brew a latte from a double espresso, put on the washing or heat up dinner before you return from work? And also set the optimal temperature, prepare an aromatic bath and water the flowers, all while packing your shopping at the supermarket till? Then come home and switch on the soothing sounds of your favourite band or the latest cinema hit, close the windows and draw the blinds?
Just a few years ago this seemed unattainable and resembled the plot of the well-known cartoon about the Jetsons. Today, with internet access, a phone and an intelligent system in your home, you have the chance to optimise how you live in it, save your precious time and enjoy shared moments with your family.
Tradition or modernity? What do you think of modern conveniences for the home?
Kind regards, Marta Kulawik
