For Homemakers: These Are the Smart Devices You Need to Simplify Household Chores
Routine household tasks can often be some of the most challenging responsibilities in daily life. Hats off to all the homemakers who work tirelessly every day to make their homes livable. However, there’s no shame in offering some assistance, especially since we live in the age of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart devices. Acquiring some of these can relieve homemakers of many exhausting chores. So, what are the best devices that can help reduce the burdens of overwhelming daily tasks?
Smart Cleaning Device (Robot Vacuum)
Smart cleaning devices or robot vacuums are among the most affordable smart gadgets you can add to your home to automate cleaning tasks. You can program the robot to work at specific times, clean designated areas of your home, and follow a particular route. The robot will then automatically follow these instructions, thoroughly cleaning the house of dust and dirt.
These robots come with various features depending on their quality. Some can clean carpets and different types of furniture, while others operate silently and autonomously, detecting dirt on the floor and cleaning it immediately. Prices for robot vacuums start at around $100, and the convenience they provide is well worth the investment.
Smart Refrigerator (e.g., Samsung Hub Smart Fridge)
A refrigerator is no longer just a machine for food preservation; it has evolved dramatically. The latest smart refrigerators can serve multiple purposes beyond storing food. They can alert you when you’re running low on items, such as notifying you that the tomato basket is almost empty. Smart refrigerators can also suggest recipes based on the ingredients you have inside. They come equipped with a touchscreen that allows you to add products and receive meal suggestions. You’ll interact with a smart refrigerator like you would with a tablet connected to the internet, but its functionality is focused solely on food.
Smart Indoor Gardens
Smart indoor gardens are making their way into the Arab world, benefiting homemakers not only by providing fresh natural ingredients but also by reducing the costs of certain groceries. These smart gardens are not large; they are medium-sized devices that can be hung by a window or placed in any kitchen area that receives sunlight. You can plant seeds for herbs like parsley or rosemary, which are commonly used in cooking. So, what makes this device smart?
The smart feature lies in its ability to monitor the garden’s condition using your smartphone. You can receive alerts when the container is dry, notifications about changes in soil moisture (which can hinder plant growth), and constant monitoring from your smartphone.
Instant Smart Cooking Pot
In an age of speed and the emergence of modern smart appliances like the Instant Pot, users no longer need to spend long hours preparing different meals. Smart cooking pots help you prepare various dishes in minutes by cooking at high temperatures with precision, ensuring that food is ready quickly. The intelligence of these devices comes from their ability to recognize the food, required temperature, and cooking time, preventing burnt or undercooked meals. They also send alerts to your smartphone when the food is ready.
Smart Cooking Systems (e.g., Paragon: The Ultimate Smart Cooking System)
Having numerous cooking devices can sometimes complicate matters. What if you could use just one device to cook everything? This system operates on thermal cooking (using electricity, not gas) and connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone. You can control the cooking temperature or even turn it off remotely. This means you can stop the cooking process even if you’re not home or adjust it to a very low heat for reheating. You’ll receive a complete guide to the necessary temperatures for cooking with any device.
Smart Management System … Your Personal Assistant
Finally, what every homemaker, or anyone responsible for a home, needs is a smart management system. A personal assistant can manage your shopping list, enabling you to say, “Add eggs to the shopping list and remind me to go shopping tomorrow.” The assistant records this information and schedules your shopping trip. You can also manage other devices through it, such as the robot vacuum mentioned earlier. Furthermore, it can provide quick suggestions and searches for things the user may have difficulty choosing, like a light dinner or a hearty lunch. You have complete freedom to utilize the personal assistant in whatever way you find most helpful.
