Technology in Luxury Living: How Innovation Makes Life Even More Comfortable

Developing technology is changing not only the devices we use in our daily lives but also our lives themselves. Luxury living used to be the exclusive privilege of a certain income group, but now, thanks to technology and smart homes, a wide range of income groups can live in extreme comfort. For example, you don’t have to be royalty to use a PA: a virtual assistant powered by artificial intelligence can do the same job.

We’ll take a closer look at what technology is providing for luxury living. Some examples may surprise you: for example, you can now visit a website like Roulette77 from the LCD screen on the door of your refrigerator and find out about red/black bets in roulette. Smart homes are turning what not so long ago was a science fiction dream into reality.

You must use home automation systems to take advantage of the examples below. Most functions will also require a voice-activated device such as Alexa Home or Google Nest that you can connect remotely (e.g. with a smartphone) – see the table below for the most common options. Finally, it’s worth noting that we have evaluated the features available to you based on different principles of ratings and selected the ones that deliver the best results in terms of luxury & comfort. 

Home Automation: Tasks Made Easy

Technology offers a more luxurious and comfortable life by automating simple but time-consuming daily tasks. Let’s give you an idea of ​​what you can achieve with technology by giving a few examples:

• Automatic lighting. This is not just turning the lights on and off at certain times. Your automation system can adjust the lights itself depending on the activity you are doing at that moment. For example, if you are watching a movie, the light will adjust to allow you to see the screen in the best way. Similarly, it can provide circadian lighting according to your sleeping habits, allowing you to sleep and wake up at the right time.
• Climate control. This means that it will be enough to select the target temperature simply. The automation system will use the climate control devices it is connected to to keep the temperature at the selected degree and will also provide you with significant savings.
• Automatic curtains. Automated systems can open and close your curtains and determine when to open and when to close them according to the activity you are doing. For example, it can close your bedroom curtains right after you fall asleep.
• A greener garden. Imagine an automation system that waters your lawn and maintains it with a robotic lawnmower: you no longer have to spend hours in the garden. Moreover, the watering will be done exactly when needed and as much as needed.
• Air purification. The automation system can analyze the air in your home in real-time and automatically activate air purifiers when it exceeds a certain pollution level.

You can activate these functions with voice commands at home or with your smartphone when you are outside. But you don’t have to do this: your AI-powered automation systems can learn what you do and when, and can do everything themselves, according to your habits. For example, if it detects that you mow your lawn every three days, you no longer have to give a separate command for this: the AI ​​will automatically activate the lawnmower.

Technology in Bedrooms: Smart Beds

A smart bed offers much more than just sleeping on it. They are designed as “devices” with USB ports, Bluetooth speakers, massage chairs, air filtration systems and smart lighting. They even offer heating and can collect data on your sleep quality and send it to their mobile apps. This way, you can see your body temperature during sleep, your breath rate, the duration of quality sleep and how deeply you sleep.

24/7 Smart Security 

Smart home security systems can let you see who is knocking on your door from your smartphone when you are not at home. Moreover, its facial recognition feature can open the door for people registered in its database, even if you have not given them a key. It is also possible to detect potential intruders and automatically call the police for help. In other words, it can instantly detect an intruder who enters the house while you are asleep and take the necessary precautions.

As automation systems develop and make more use of artificial intelligence, the number of autonomous features will increase, and a comfortable life will become more accessible to everyone. However, if you do not want to wait, you can start living with one of the above devices!
