The world is becoming more advanced than ever. Technology is always moving forward and high tech gadgets are becoming a large part of our everyday lives. Just as we’re heavily dependent on our phone (who goes anywhere without it?), we are also seeing a lot of new products that we could easily become dependent on.
Nowadays, there’s plenty of cool and unique gadgets for your apartment, with the purpose of having you do things better and faster. Wouldn’t you want a coffee maker that allows you to brew coffee remotely through an app? We certainly do. Here’s a couple of items that entered the market from the previous years that we feel you should debut in your apartment this year.
1. Google Home
This is a piece of technology that will simplify your life in a number of different ways. Google Home is a smart speaker that is voice-activated and is powered by the Google Assistant. While this things can be used as a speaker, it is so much more than that thanks to Google Assistant. This gadget can manage your daily tasks, get answers from Google, control Chromecast, and more using only your voice. Also, it works with both Apple and Android devices. If having a personal assistant tend to your every move is too expensive, this is a great and helpful substitute.
2. Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Kit
Technology is affecting everything, including how we control the lighting in our homes and apartments. While many people settle for one type of lighting in their home, this doesn’t have to be the case anymore. With the Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Kit you can control the brightness and color of each and every light in your apartment. In addition to that, you can also schedule the lights to go on and off at certain times and you can even use Google Home to remotely control these lights with your voice.
3. Pantelligent
Cooking is something that takes a ton of time to get proficient at. However, Pantelligent will help you be a better chef than ever thought possible. Pantelligent is a smart pan that has a temperature sensor inside of it, which connects to an app on your phone that can help make cooking anything easy. The app monitors the temperature and tells you when to change it, when to add ingredients, when to flip, and much more. This smart pan will save you money in the long run as it will help you cook and eat at home more, instead of going to restaurants.
4. Roku Ultra
In today’s day and age, many people simply aren’t signing up for the extremely expensive cable TV subscriptions. That is what makes the Roku series a great piece of technology for everyone to have in their apartment. The Roku is a series of WiFi connectable mini-streaming boxes that offer content from a variety of services such as YouTube, Google Play, Netflix, Hulu, and a variety of other channels. Their newest offering is none other than the Roku Ultra (released a few months ago) which allows remote finding, 4K video, voice search function, etc.
5. Beddi
This smart alarm clock might just be most intelligent way to wake up in the morning. While most alarm clocks simply wake you up with a beep or an annoying tone, this does so much more. In fact, there are more than 20 different features included such as device charging, a “wake up” light that eases you awake with light, white noise generating, morning weather report and more. The Beddi also has an app which helps to communicate with other smart devices in your home to adjust temperature, brew coffee and much more.
6. Mr. Coffee Smart Coffeemaker
Let’s face it, most of us spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars a year on coffee or expensive home brewers that really don’t do anything too special. However, one coffeemaker that is most definitely special is the Mr. Coffee Smart Coffeemaker. This coffeemaker is wifi-enabled and comes with an app that allows you to brew coffee remotely. Not only that, but this machine also brews coffee faster than almost all other coffeemakers out there. You can schedule it to brew coffee at a certain time so you will always have coffee ready when you want it, without even having to get out of bed.
7. Smarter Fridge Cam
There is nothing more annoying than going shopping for groceries and not remembering what you have in your fridge already and what you need. The Fridge Cam is a small camera that you place in your fridge and it lets you know what is in stock and what you need. This app also talks about the expiration date and all this information can be viewed while you’re at the store on the app that comes with the camera. This gadget also lets you know how you can better use the things you do have in stock before they go bad.
