Almost every day, we translate and revise texts about domestic appliances and other technology to do with the home – and many of our end customers provide solutions for smart homes and appliances. Have you ever found yourself wondering why everything has to be “smart” these days? Here are some of the key points that our translations for smart homes have taught us consumers are interested in.
1. Centralised, remote control
Smart homes are homes equipped with lighting, heating and electronic devices that can be controlled remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer. Consumers love this centralised control, as it makes it easy to manage multiple devices from anywhere with an internet connection.
2. Convenience
Routine tasks can be automated, saving time and effort and increasing personal productivity.
3. Enhanced security
Security systems in smart homes include video doorbells, cameras, smart locks and motion sensors that provide real-time alerts and remote monitoring. Homeowners can receive notifications about suspicious activity or whether doors are locked, offering peace of mind and improved safety.
4. Energy efficiency and cost savings
Smart homes optimise energy use by automating lighting, heating and cooling based on occupancy and user habits. This can lead to significant cost savings over time and reduces environmental impact by allowing resources to be used more efficiently.
5. Increased quality of life
For some, smart homes solve practical problems, such as remotely checking that doors are locked or lights are off, which is especially helpful for people with mobility issues. Smart assistants also help manage daily tasks through voice commands, enhancing comfort and ease of living and offering increased independence for people with disabilities.
6. Flexibility
Systems in smart homes are designed to be flexible, allowing users to add new devices and technologies as they emerge without becoming obsolete.
