Samsung's vision for the fully automated home
Home automation is a developing trend which is sure to make an appearance at our 2014 and 2015 home shows. One manufacturer who is leading the way is Samsung, who made a splash at the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES). They were there in full force and unveiled a grand vision for the smart home, consisting of three components:
- Device Control: Devices including air conditioners and lights can be turned on and off via a smart device app. This can be done whether the user is at home or elsewhere, and includes support for voice commands that can also be spoken into its new TV remote controls.
- Home View: Cameras built into TVs and other appliances can be used to provide real-time video feeds to a user's smartphone, allowing them to keep an eye on their property when out.
- Customer Service: Appliances will notify the app if a part needs to be cleaned or replaced, for example sending an alert if a fridge light burns out or if a washing machine filter is clogged.
Of course, Samsung isn't the only player in this field. Many competing vendors will be represented at our shows with comparable products.
