Your Digital Transformation With Urban Living
Before we dive into ways smart homes can revolutionize urban living, there is one elephant in the room we must address — The Internet of Things (loT).
In other words, the Internet of Things (IoT) means all our electronics can talk to each other through the internet, like how your phone can chat with your TV to play your favorite Urban LA Living YouTube videos.
As you can see this smart technology enhances daily life, providing ease, convenience, and privacy for urban living. For example, it’s now more common to have smart lights and alarms in your apartment. But we’ll dive deeper into this in the next section.
Making Your Apartment Smart With Urban Planning
Let’s explore the whirlwind of possibilities of how to upgrade your home with intelligence. Here are some smart solutions tailored to rental apartments:
Smart lighting
This is not only a cozy aesthetic to change the color and brightness of your lights. But great for your bill too to be more energy efficient, all through a simple voice command or a tap on your phone. Better yet, they adapt according to the time of day, ensuring a seamless transition from morning to night.
Connected electronics
Voice Assistants:
Google Nest and Amazon’s Echo & Alexa Devices are like personal helpers. You can command them to do *almost* anything, like order takeout, or control other devices connected to them.
