Smart home technology started as a way to upgrade the running of your household, with the Internet of Things telling one device how to operate another — no human contact required. Today, there are an estimated 175 million smart homes in the world. The US is expected to have 63 million connected homes by 2022.
With the COVID19 pandemic, we enter an age when technology can reduce the need to touch surfaces, and therefore the risk of infection, contactless living has become a must-do rather than merely nice to have. Now, a smart house is also a healthier one, evolving to keep you safe and well within your own four walls.
In this episode, we discuss how the technology for smart home started and how it has evolved; the components that make up a smart and healthy home. Bonus: we uncover aspects that are oftentimes ignored in our homes that could impact our health - from EMFs, water and the air we breathe.
