Christmas is here, and with it our smart home (or not) dressed in a Christmas and family atmosphere. The hustle and bustle of presents, invisible friends, meals with family and friends, Christmas carols, and so on.
There are those who still choose to put out the crib and the Christmas tree with the same decorations as 15 years ago, others who have dared to go for a more modern decoration, and then there are those who want their home to welcome them with a carol by Mariah Carey at the same time as they turn on all the lights on the tree and the nativity scene as they enter the door. Each in their own way.
Today we bring you some clever ideas that will help you to fill your home with that Christmas spirit that we are all looking for, no matter what kind of profile we are. 😉
Light bulbs in your smart home this Christmas
It regulates the lighting in your home in such a way that you can remotely switch it on or off, or tell it at what times you want it to be switched on so that the lighting comes to life or is switched off to save electricity.
Lighting plays a very important role at this time of the year, as you can completely transform each of the scenes and adapt them to different moments: dim lights, coloured lights for gift giving, warm lights for dinners…
The ideal temperature for your smart home this Christmas
Thermal comfort is one of the most important things you need to think about to create the perfect scene in your home, because nobody likes to be cold in winter. To do this, you can set your smart home to automatically raise blinds, retract awnings, switch on the heating and, if it detects that there is insufficient light outside, also switch on the necessary lights inside. According to experts, the perfect temperature is between 21º and 23º.
Presents are opened on Christmas morning, not before
The parade arrives, the Christmas Eve jitters and the 4 a.m. wake-up calls to open the presents. But… what time is that! Through our motion sensors or alarms, we can control that our children don’t even get close to the tree, as they will send us a notification to our mobile phone so that we can keep them under control and prevent them from falling into possible temptations in the early hours of the morning.
Musical thread, another alternative to complete your smart home this Christmas
Programme your smart home so that every time you walk through the front door, the lights come on and a playlist of your favourite Christmas carols is played. You can also create Christmas dinner scenes to automatically turn on the music and start cheering people up, so you don’t have to worry about it and can enjoy the party just as much.
What if you don’t spend Christmas at home, but at your in-laws’ house? Don’t worry, we have another option for you.
Now you can go on holiday on the other side of the world and never again worry about leaving your home as a Christmas present for potential burglars. Activate a daily protocol so that, in your absence, the presence simulation system is activated. In this way, in your home and despite there being no one there, the lights will be switched on, the blinds will be raised and the television will be switched on at the time you want. If the system detects strangers, it will alert you and contact the security services directly.
May your only concern this Christmas be to enjoy yourself with your loved ones and…
May they stop giving you so many socks!
