7 Smart Devices That Fast-Track Household Chores

Have you ever thought that your life would be so much easier if you could hire a cook, cleaner, and personal assistant? While this lifestyle is often reserved for the rich and famous, you can replicate it by incorporating smart technology into your home.

If you’re tired of spending your free time cooking up a storm in the kitchen and maintaining a clean house, you can now automate your chores. As well as providing ultimate convenience, smart devices with embedded smart device security can keep your home secure and even lower your utility bills.

There are many smart home gadgets to choose from, but if you aren’t sure where to start or which devices would best suit your home, here are seven devices that will upgrade your home.

Robot Floor Cleaners

Whether you have hardwood flooring or carpet, cleaning the floor is often extremely time-consuming, especially if you have pets and children to clean up after. Instead of manually conducting this job, you can get a robot vacuum and smart mop to do it automatically.

Smart Toilet

Cleaning the toilet is one of the most unpleasant household chores, which thankfully is no longer necessary with a smart toilet, due to the self-cleaning function. If you don’t want to replace the entire fixture, Washloo, the UK’s sole domestic luxury smart toilet and bidet toilet seat brand, offers an attachable smart toilet seat, including a self-cleaning nozzle.

Smart Plugs

According to the Energy Saving Trust, turning appliances off standby can lower your energy bills by £35. With smart plugs, you can double check everything is turned off and control them through your phone to ensure you aren’t wasting energy. Another benefit of this gadget is that you can automatically set them to turn on and off for added ease.

Smart Security

Keeping your home safe can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you can control every aspect of your security system from one hub with smart technology.

Smart cameras allow you to check every room and the exterior of your house remotely. You can also fit video doorbells that send phone notifications, detect motion, and show who’s at the door before you answer it. Wireless alarms can also sense movement and notify you through an app if the alarm has been triggered.

With smart locks, you can double-check whether you’ve locked the front door on your phone, instead of worrying all day.

Digital Cooking

If you struggle to function until having your first cup of coffee, with a smart coffee maker, you don’t even have to make it yourself. Before you’ve even got up from bed, just ask your Alexa to make you a cup of Joe instead.

While the coffee is brewing, a smart toaster can prepare breakfast for you. This device automatically adjusts its settings to suit the type of bread and has a 15-second re-heat function if it goes cold.

For dinner, you can rely on a smart pressure cooker to prepare it for you. You can control this gadget by voice command or through an app when connected to a smart hub.

Digital Heating Controls

Central heating is the highest cost of your energy bill, and you might be spending more than is necessary. By fitting smart heating controls, you can save another £75 off your yearly energy costs. Smart thermostats and meters highlight your central heating usage and how much you’re spending on each appliance, so you can identify how to make savings.

Intelligent Lighting

If you frequently forget to turn the lights off after leaving the room, with smart lighting, you can control them from your phone remotely. Smart LED bulbs are also cheaper to run and can reduce your annual energy bill by £40.

With smart devices completing your chores for you, you can spend more time on your hobbies, with your family, or just relaxing.
