How to Build A Budget Smart Home?

Making your home a smart home does not have to be costly. With some planning and the use of low-cost devices, you can automate your home for convenience, security, and energy efficiency. Here’s how you can make your home smart without breaking the bank.

Start with a Smart Speaker or Hub

Your entry point to home automation may be a smart speaker like Amazon Echo Dot or Google Nest Mini. These speakers are hubs for other smart devices. Using voice commands, you can turn lights on/off, check the weather, or even play audio of your own choice.

Upgrade to Smart Lighting

Smart LED bulbs, such as Philips Wiz or Wipro Smart LED, are an affordable way to give your home an upgrade. These bulbs can be controlled using an app or voice assistants, allowing you to adjust brightness and colors. Motion-sensor bulbs can be utilised in the hallway or bathroom to save electricity.

Affordable Smart Plugs

Any ordinary device can be transformed into a smart device by using smart plugs. With TP-Link Kasa and Wipro Smart Plug brands, you can control your fans and lamps remotely. The plugs also help keep energy usage in balance, which over time saves money.

Budget-Friendly Smart Security

Home security does not have to be expensive. Explore the following options:

• Smart Doorbells like Qubo or Wipro Smart Wi-Fi Doorbell to see and talk to visitors on your phone.

• Motion Sensors to get alerts for unusual activity.

• Smart Locks like Qubo Smart Door Lock Essential for keyless entry. Locks use fingerprint, PIN or mobile app control entry.

These features provide additional convenience and safety without being overly costly.

Use a Smart Thermostat or Fans

If you already possess an AC or a ceiling fan, try searching for a smart IR remote (e.g., BroadLink RM Mini 3) that can control them from your phone. Some smart fans are also compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant to adjust speed automatically.

Automate Curtains and Blinds

Motorized curtains are generally expensive, though inexpensive curtain automation kits allow you to open and close them using a phone app. This adds a bit of luxury without the hefty price tag.

Set up Routines for Automation

Most smart devices support apps like Google Assistant or Alexa. You can set up routines such as:

• Turning off all lights at bedtime.

• Changing the fan speed in relation to temperature.

• Switch off the AC after maintaining a specified temperature inside the room.

Using and building these smart devices does not turn you into a tech geek, instead the wiser one would find time for better things in life forward, particularly working towards completing the prime goal of our existence, salvation.

The Smart Choice

Your human life is precious to you, way more than any other resource and even more than your loved ones. Therefore, acquiring knowledge about the things to do and things to avoid throughout your lives is of utmost importance. Amongst these, the primary motive of your life is often overlooked. While attaining career growth and moving towards a more technological future era, it becomes very important to hold your spiritual roots at the same time.
