In April this year, it was reported that the Public Utilities Board (PUB) is seeking proposals for the supply of smart shower devices for 10,000 new homes. With the increase in smart gadgets in the market, it is likely that this is only the beginning of a more technology-centric way of life and there is only more to come from here on out. Here are some useful smart home appliances that you should invest in.
Echo Dot
The Echo Dot is a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, make calls, send and receive messages, read the news, set alarms, read audiobooks from Audible, and more. With its seven far-field microphones, it can hear you from across the room and even in noisy environments and can play music from Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn. Basically the mother of all smart home gadgets, you’ll have a centralised device to keep all your other home appliances in check.
Available at $49.99 from Amazon.
