New Year, New Tech: Upgrading Your Home Automation Devices for 2025
Each new year brings more tech advancements, especially in home automation devices, and 2025 will be no exception. Home Telecom has compiled a list of the top four must-have home automation devices and trends going into the new year.
1. Home Automation Devices: Smart Thermostats with AI Integration
Smart thermostats have provided homeowners custom scheduling and remote access for several years. However, we anticipate that in 2025, AI will take a significant leap into temperature regulation. AI will learn your preferences, including sleep temperatures when you arrive home and leave each morning, and it will use this data to forecast and remember your personal needs. Going beyond simply adjusting and maintaining your home’s temperature, AI can help identify if people are home or away, which will also help save you money on your electric bill.
2. Home Automation Devices: Self-Cleaning and Advanced Robots
Robot vacuums have been in homes for over a decade, but we anticipate that 2025 will bring forth a new generation featuring advanced cleaning algorithms. By incorporating AI in robot vacuums, algorithms help the robot learn cleaning patterns and improve their navigation.
3. Home Automation Devices: Facial Recognition Smart Security Systems
Home security has come a long way. HD cameras that incorporate AI and facial recognition and can spot invaders will likely be the new line in home defense security. Having photographic evidence is essential for evidence collection should crimes occur. Learn more about how Home Telecom is ahead of the curve on home automation devices that use facial recognition.
4. Home Automation Devices: Smart Mirrors
While it may seem futuristic, we anticipate that voice-activated smart mirrors will begin appearing in smart homes. Smart mirrors connected to Google Assistant or Alexa can easily control bathroom lighting, play music, give you the latest weather or traffic reports and even enhance health monitoring.
Keep Your Home Automation Devices Connected and Running Smoothly
It would be best to have enough bandwidth to prevent interruptions and ensure your smart home and home automation devices run smoothly. Home Telecom recommends internet speeds based on the number of devices in your home.
