Make your Home Smarter on Budget with Himel Smart Devices
In the year 1999, Disney released a movie, Smart House. It was fun watching how a computerized house is smart enough to work on voice commands-be it monitoring health parameters of the residents, changing lighting based on what we intend to, managing home security by keeping a close vigil on who comes in and who isn’t. Then, we thought the concept was far-fetched, a science fiction. Fast forward to today, we have IoT-enabled home automation which has made these a reality.
Now, we have smart devices that work with a touch on smartphone or tablet, making lives easier and homes a better place to be. The best part is that you don’t need to change all your wired electrics to make them smart. With little tweaks, switching your fans, toasters, geysers, coffee makers, etc. is possible with a click of smartphone.
With the advancement in microcontrollers and high-end communication protocols such as ZigBee, implementing the wireless home automation system is faster and cost-efficient. Zigbee and the wi-fi network are integrated through a common home gateway, which has a lucid graphical user interface for the remote access of the system. With simpler GUI, personalized home automation is now a child’s play.
Several automation playlists are available at applications like IFTTT. These apps have provisions of applets which aid in grouping up all the smart devices of a space, enabling each to communicate to the other.
How does a smart device work in a connected home?
Simply, there are combinations of different kinds of semiconductor in smart bulbs, smart plugs, dimmers, etc. which communicate through Wi-Fi router and connect to smartphone through a third-party app, like Alexa or Google Home, thus working on your voice command or a touch-anywhere, anytime. For example, the intensity of light can be easily controlled. Not just the on and off, but also the millions of color combinations are easily achievable.
What are the different Smart Devices from Himel?
Himel offers cost-efficient smart devices, that are easy to install and provide superior performance over the years. Designed to offer simpler automation for greater power saving and electrical safety, Himel Smart Devices are best-buy for homes.
With Smart Bulb, the intensity of light too is under your complete control apart from the millions of color combinations that you can choose from. Not just fun in ambient light setting, the colors have health benefits as well.
Studies have proved that blue wavelength of light keeps our brain activated allowing us to be productive during daytime. With the same reason, blue lights delay falling asleep. Contrarily, red lights or warmer lights have a soothing effect on our brain and help in relaxing or feeling asleep faster. This doesn’t mean that different bulbs are required for your bedroom or living area. Let the Himel Smart Bulb take over.
You only need to replace your old led bulb with Himel smart bulb and connect it with HH Smart app for Himel. This app allows you to use voice commands through Alexa or Google Home. Switch it on, switch it off, dim it, schedule it, or choose from the millions of color combinations.
Keeping lights on at the same intensity not only wears off the bulb light but also increases power expense. With Himel Dimmer Module, you can turn the switch on or off, set it to fade off or a preferred preset dimming level. While Amazon Alexa and Google Home allow you to control lights with voice commands. With Home Automation applets, you can control lighting as per ambient temperature and time of the day.
We have numerous equipment and devices to aid us in our daily chores such as an electric shaver, geyser, coffee/tea maker, toasters, fans, chargers, etc. With Himel smart plugs, you can control all your electric devices with your voice command using Alexa or Google Home or by a touch on your smartphone. Connect the device you want to control to a smart plug and add them to your connected home.
With the use of smart plugs, phantom load (electricity used by devices that are plugged in the socket, even in off condition) is kept under complete control. It increases cost-saving and reduces the inherently wasted electrical energy.
