How nice would it be if all our connected electronics could be controlled remotely, knew our rhythms and listened to our voice controls? From the room lamp to the coffee machine and from the radio to the PlayStation, all devices listening to us directing them. With Hihome's smart plugs and lights this is now possible.
The smart plug is an extension of the power outlet, which can perform all kinds of functions via your app, smart device or other device to make your home or work experience finely organized and wonderfully comfortable. The smart lighting from Hihome is also controllable via app or for example Google Home with multiple options. You can control your coffee machine remotely, let your lights go out automatically at certain times or pre-heat the electric stove. Read all about it in this blog!
Tune your home to your rhythm
Firstly, the smart plugs and lighting from Hihome provide a higher degree of comfort and convenience indoors. For example, it is possible to control various devices via the smart plugs and have them follow time schedules. Can't wait for that nice cup of coffee when you get up? Program the smart plug so that the coffee maker is switched on just before your alarm clock rings. Then you have a good reason to get up in the morning. Speaking of getting up, do you have trouble getting out of bed early in the morning when the alarm rings? Then set your smart lighting to quietly light up your rooms when it's time to wake up. That will make the start of the day a lot more pleasant.
But there are more surprising conveniences that Hihome provides that you might not have thought of. How about this, for example:
- Almost done with work and really in the mood for an oven meal? Preheat your oven with the app from your office!
- Are you away from home? Set the smart lighting so that the lights go on and off at random. This gives the smart lighting an extra function: namely to protect your house from possible burglars!
Hihome plugs and lights listen to you
The implications of smart plugs and lighting go beyond following a schedule. For example, thanks to Hihome, your appliances and smart lighting can also listen to voice controls and perform spontaneous commands! You do this by linking your smart lighting or plug to, for example, Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. Read below some beautiful practical examples of what this new technology makes possible:
- Connect the desk lamp to the smart plug and name the smart plug 'desk lamp' in the Google Home app. Now you can say "Hey Google, turn on desk lamp!
- Plug the coffee maker into the smart plug and name the smart plug 'coffee maker'. When you wake up you can say 'Hey Google, turn on the coffee maker!'
- Plug the Playstation 4 into the smart plug and tell Google Home when to turn it off: handy if you have kids and want to set a limit until when they can game.
Smart & economical
"All this extra equipment will probably make my electricity bill go up," we can already hear you saying. On the contrary! With Hihome smart plugs and lighting you can actually live more economically. For example, you can have the smart lighting switch off automatically when you leave the house and some smart plugs even show you exactly how much your appliances are using. This increases your insight into the electricity costs of your home and gives you the option to respond to this and reduce your costs if you wish. What more could you want?
