How can a smart home enhance your lifestyle ?
If you think a smart home is a nice to have , you may be surprised to find out that smart technology can not only increase the value of your property , but can also transform the way you live . Charlie Hibbins , Director of Symbiotic Smart Homes , details five ways smart technology can improve the quality of your life .
1 - BUY BACK YOUR TIME
We ’ re all busy . Smart technology can take away some of the stress of too much to do and too little time to do it by automating your home to run as you want it . “ From robo-hoovers that work their magic while everyone is out so you come home to clean floors , to smart connectivity that ensures you have great WiFi in every spot of your house , smart tech can help you buy back your time ,” explains Charlie .
2 - GREATER ENERGY EFFICIENCY
With fuel costs continuing to rise and the need for us all to conserve energy to safeguard the planet , there ’ s a myriad of smart tech solutions to help you save money and reduce your carbon emissions through more efficient energy use .
“ Some of our favourites include smart shading , which opens when the sun sets to conserve heat in the winter or blocks out sun to keep your house cool naturally in the summer , and intelligent heating , which only heats the rooms when you use them ,” says Charlie .

3 - SUPPORT YOUR HEALTH
Smart tech can help improve your health and wellness by automating your home to keep in time with your circadian clock , for example , installing curtains that open at sunrise to wake you up with natural sunlight , paired with internal lighting that dims in the evenings as your body needs to wind down .
“ Potential benefits of using smart tech to support what your body needs when it needs it include better sleep and digestion , a decrease in mental health diseases , and even helping to alleviate physical health problems ,”
4 - ENHANCED SECURITY
The latest crime figures for England showed a 31 % fall in domestic burglary . In part , this is because of greater deterrents due to better security . A smart home security system can not only deter thieves and protect your home but can also take away the stress of implementing security every time you leave your house or go to bed .
“ A bespoke security system can sync with security lights , external lights and locks with the touch of a single button – to help you sleep better at night ,” explains Charlie .
5 - IMPROVED WELLBEING
Buying back your time and enhancing your home security should help
tech can go even further in helping
“ Lighting optimised for the different activities of the different zones of your home – such as clear lighting in home offices and your kitchen and ambient lighting in living areas – can help you both focus when you need to and switch off when you want to ,” says Charlie .
SMART TECH UPTAKE
“ We are seeing more and more interest in smart home technology ,” continues Charlie . “ As people get acquainted with products such as Amazon Alexa in their home , naturally there is a curiosity about how other smart appliances could enhance their home lives .
“ We love working with our clients to identify how we can harness technology to change
the solutions to their lifestyles ,
