Average Household Appliances getting Smart

If you walk around your house, you might think you already have a lot of mobile appliances. However, we have only scratched the surface of internet capabilities at home. As discovered at CES 2014, the likelihood of ordinary products being transformed into smart appliances is becoming more of a reality. Some of the most common and longstanding appliances such as refrigerators, locks, and even toothbrushes can be upgraded with new capabilities.

 Fondly referred to as “the internet of things”, many previously untouched household items are getting a facelift. Often times, people may misplace their keys. The door lock by Goji provides remote access to your door. The holder has the convenience of gaining wireless access to their home through the lock device or through their phone courtesy of Bluetooth or WiFi. It also allows for unlocking a door for guests from a distant location such as when the user is on vacation. In addition, if a person attempts to open the locked door, a photo will be taken and sent to provide the user with final approval for providing entry. This isn’t your average door lock anymore.

 Another household location getting a change is the kitchen. The next time you wake up for a midnight snack, eating ice cream or dinner leftovers won’t be the only decision you’ll have to make. Samsung and LG have developed smarthome with the capabilities to interface your phone with the refrigerator or oven. Samsung home appliances will have built in cameras built that allow users to get a view of what's happening in their home when away. LG has technology that allows homeowners to text their appliances basic commands like setting the temperature of the fridge and oven. In addition, you can ask home based questions like how long until the cheese starts to mold. With all of this information a click away on your phone, you may never have to leave your living room.

 Even the toothbrush by Kolibree has gained a new wireless spin. By syncing with your smartphone, you have the ability to track how long and how often you brush to identify brushing habits. The brush can go as far as sharing this information on social media, whether to brag about your active brushing or shame you about your inconsistent teeth cleaning.

 A lot of advances in technology are able to take place because of the development of Wi-Fi and 4G LTE. The wireless capabilities now allow you to use common household appliances in a way that people never dreamed of.
