A lot has happened in smart homes in recent months. Manufacturers such as Google, Samsung and Philips Hue are announcing new generations of devices that will be even more responsive, economical and easy to use. One of the biggest innovations is that more and more devices are focusing on operating without the cloud - i.e. locally, which means faster responses and better privacy protection.
And smart homes are coming with artificial intelligence that learns your habits and adjusts automatically - without the need to set schedules.
The latest thermostats and sensors no longer require manual settings. For example, new devices detect when no one is home and automatically turn the heating down. And lights can analyse daylight and adjust the brightness of a room - without you having to control them.
Philips Hue has announced a system that "recognises" the way you move around the house and predicts which lights you are likely to turn on.
One of the biggest barriers to smart homes so far has been compatibility. Each brand had its own apps and protocols, which made it difficult to use. But with the advent of the standard Mattersupported by almost all major manufacturers, things are changing.
Smart devices will now work "across borders" - Google, Apple, Amazon and others will finally speak the same language.
You'll be able to buy any brand of device and seamlessly connect it to your existing system - even if you have an Android phone but an Apple smart speaker.
Competition between manufacturers is driving down the price of new smart devices. What was "exotic" just a few years ago is now standard in many homes. New packages that combine several devices in one kit allow you to build a smart system for just a few hundred euros.
IoTronX follows these trends closely and only includes proven devices that are already future-ready.
