We live in a tech-focused society. However, despite our love for tech gadgets, introducing technology into our homes comes at a high cost. Indeed, most homeowners struggle with space-demanding tech solutions that clutter their interiors. 

The exciting entertainment system doesn’t seem to fit into the living room. Instead, you find yourself fighting with an army of cables that look like snake nests running along the walls. Besides, the sofa is too close to the screen, so you frequently experience eye strain. 

Does it sound familiar? 

You might feel like tech isn’t suited for your life. But the reality is that household technology needs planning as much as any home improvement project. Don’t just buy and plug it because it’ll be messy and frustrating. Instead, you need to consider how to implement it into your day-to-day decor without creating a chaotic interior. 

Have a long-term plan

Technology is a long-term investment. So if you are considering adding new tech to your home, you have to think into the future. For instance, if you wish to add a smart door lock, you will have to ask yourself important questions:

  • Is it RFID tech or keypad, or both?
  • How do you manage setup and access control?
  • Does it need to connect to a smart home hub or WiFi? 

Rather than considering the answers for today, you should be focusing on how you want to use your tech in a few years’ time. For instance, if you do not have a smart home hub yet, but you want to invest in a similar system at some point, it would be best to buy a smart lock that can work both independently and in connection with a hub. The better you plan ahead, the less likely you are to struggle to set things up and need to buy duplicate solutions. 

Focus on storage-friendly solutions

Picture the scene: You’ve finally managed to receive the latest video console. Chip shortages have delayed your order for what feels forever, but finally, it has arrived! So how do you best set up your gaming corner without battling wires and a cluttered sea of gaming accessories? The answer is simple: You need a unit that can hold your tech and store all necessary elements. For enthusiastic teen gamers, it can be a good idea to check gaming beds at Cuckooland so you can turn their bedroom into an organised gaming paradise. The same principle can apply to your workstation, so you can keep your laptop, keyboard, and other accessories in one place. 

Don’t try to make it fit at all costs

As exciting as it can be to buy an XXL screen for home, you need enough space to maintain a safe viewing distance. Tech purchases should be considered with the same attention to detail as any other interior investment. Consider:

  • long-term health and safety risks
  • function in the room
  • its impact on the decor

Forcibly introducing tech items that don’t meet your household needs and arrangements can be a waste of money. 

We live in a plug and play society where accessible technology finds its way rapidly into our homes. Unfortunately, tech solutions are space-demanding and potentially clutter- and expense-creating. So, it’s essential to evaluate your options carefully before investing in high-tech gadgets that could destroy your peaceful home!

Artificial intelligence is gaining rapid attention because it eliminates the necessity for us humans to carry out routine and mundane tasks that cost us time, money, and effort. With artificial intelligence, resource such as time and money can be freed up and allocated to more pressing needs.

What if you could harness the power of artificial intelligence and use it right in your home where you can enjoy personalised comfort, savings on energy usage, and a smart home experience?

With Ambi Climate, you can now enjoy 24/7 seamless thermal comfort right in your cosy home because it upgrades your existing remote-controlled air conditioner with Artificial Intelligence and it does so by controlling your air-conditioner remotely.

How does Ambi Climate work?

Ambi Climate will learn from the feedback that you input via the Ambi Climate app and at the same time, the Ambi Climate Sensor will analyse how the changing ambient conditions affect your comfort. Thereafter, Ambi Climate will then auto-adjust your air conditioner accordingly. But of course, this is not to say that Ambi Climate is entirely accurate because it is only as accurate as the number of feedback that you provide to it.

Traditional air conditioning remotes are based on straightforward temperature settings—but this one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t consider the whole picture because factors such as humidity, weather, sunlight, and time of day can have a noticeable impact on how you experience hot or cold.

With Ambi Climate, there’s no need to reach for your existing remote when you feel hot or cold because it gets to know how different factors affect you and it will continuously auto-adjust your air conditioner to match your comfort level. The Ambi Climate app gathers your comfort feedback – hot, cold or comfortable and its smart sensors measure indoor conditions and even your air conditioner’s performance. Combining online data (time of day and local weather information), Ambi Climate can create your personal comfort profile and auto-adjust your air conditioner with changing conditions.

There are a couple of modes and functions available on the Ambi Climate. To activate the Comfort Mode, simply give feedback on your comfort level – hot, cold or comfortable and from the 3rd feedback onward, Ambi Climate starts learning your comfort level and does the auto-adjusting for you. You can always let Ambi Climate know if your comfort differs from what it estimates for you because the more feedback you give, the better it is able to adjust your air-conditioner/heat pump to match your personal preference.

In the Away Mode, you can set temperature and humidity thresholds so that your plants, pets and clothes are protected from unwanted moisture and extreme temperatures. This mode is perfect for users who work long hours or travel a lot and need a convenient but hassle-free control of the ambient conditions at home.

In the Temperature Mode, you can select a pre-determined temperature and Ambi Climate will maintain your set temperature by either lowering or raising your air conditioner’s temperature. In this mode, Ambi Climate also takes into consideration your room’s ambient conditions and the performance of your air conditioner. This mode is perfect for users who already know which temperature condition is the best for them.

In the Manual Mode, you can control your air-conditioner through the Ambi Climate app without having to use your old-fashioned remote or necessarily being next to the air-conditioner or even have to be at home. This mode is perfect for users who simply want to control their air-conditioner while on-the-go. What’s more, you can even enjoy easy hassle-free automation by setting your preferred radius and allowing Ambi Climate to control your air conditioner based on your location i.e. turn on the air-conditioner when you are arriving and off when you leave.

In Singapore, we have a tropical weather and unlike countries where they have four seasons, our comfort level here is typically influenced by factors such as humidity, warm weather and the monsoon season that brings with it strong winds and heavy showers. As air conditioner consumes large amount of electricity, Ambi Climate effectively minimises overcooling and overheating, saving you up to 30% on energy.

Just so you know, Ambi Climate is compatible with over 50 brands and 1,200 models of LCD-screen remotes. In short, it works with any types of air conditioner with a LCD-screen remote controller.

The Ambi Climate retails for 129 USD and if you would like more information, you can check it out here!
