How nice would it be if all our connected electronics could be controlled remotely, knew our rhythm and listened to our voice control? From the room lamp to the coffee maker and from the radio to the PlayStation, all equipment listening to our direction. With the smart plugs and lighting from Hihome this is now possible.
The smart plug is an extension of the socket, which can perform all kinds of functions via your app, smart device or other device to make your home or work experience nicely organized and wonderfully comfortable. The smart lighting from Hihome can also be controlled via app or for example Google Home with multiple options. For example, you can control your coffee maker remotely, have your lights switch off automatically at certain times or preheat the electric hob. Read all about it in this blog!
Tune your home to your rhythm
First of all, the smart plugs and lighting from Hihome provide a higher level of comfort and convenience indoors. For example, it is possible to operate various devices via the smart plugs and to follow schedules. Can't wait for that delicious cup of coffee when you get up? Then program the smart plug so that the coffee maker turns on just before your alarm goes off. Then you immediately 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 goes off? Then set your smart lighting so that it quietly illuminates the rooms when it is time to wake up. That makes the start of the day a lot more pleasant.
But there are more surprising conveniences that Hihome provides that you may not have thought about. What do you think of this for example:
- Almost done with work and really craving an oven meal? Preheat your oven via the app from your office!
- Are you away from home? Set the smart lighting to turn the lights on and off at random times. This gives the smart lighting an extra function: namely, protecting your home from potential burglars!
Hihome plugs and lighting listen to you
The implications of smart plugs and lighting go beyond following a schedule. Thanks to Hihome, your equipment and smart lighting can also listen to voice control and execute spontaneous commands! You can do this by linking your smart lighting or plug to, for example, Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. Read below for some beautiful practical examples of what this new technology makes possible:
- Plug the desk lamp into 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!'
- Connect the Playstation 4 to the smart plug and tell Google Home when to turn it off: useful if you have children and want to set a limit on how long they can play games.
Smart & Economical
“All this extra equipment will definitely increase my electricity bill”, we hear you say. On the contrary! You can live more economically with the smart plugs and lighting from Hihome. For example, you can have the smart lighting automatically switch off when you leave your house, and some smart plugs even show you exactly how much your equipment consumes. This increases your insight into the electricity costs of your home and immediately gives you the option to respond to this and reduce your costs if desired. What more could you want?
