See how to use technical resources to ensure comfort and practicality in everyday life
Technology is a great ally to make the routine simpler and make the decor more modern. Currently, it is possible to control and command – either by voice, timer or smartphone – electronic devices and other items present in the most varied environments of a house. This integration, in addition to comfort and safety, also facilitates day-to-day tasks.
Control your home with one touch
According to architects Fernanda Hardt and Juliana Rinaldi, from the Mirá Arquitetura office, with technology it is possible to control several items in a house with a cell phone, or with a single device. “Is it possible to controllightingsound, air conditioning, cameras, TV, curtains and everything that involves an electronic device compatible with the automation system”, they exemplify.
Materials to modernize the house
Among the main items used to control the home with technology are: fixed panel, remote control, mobile devices, notebooks, computers, Smart Home, Wi-Fi system, security cameras, remote sensor and light control.
Fernanda Hardt and Juliana Rinaldi warn that materials, from wiring to electronics, must be of good quality. “This care makes the customer guarantee durability and quality for the system”, explain the architects.
Benefits of using technology in decoration
For interior design technician Lorena Oliveira, the main benefits of using technology in a home are comfort, safety and economy. “Comfort, because you will be able to create and command the schedules of each environment. Security, because you can control the residence no matter where you are.Economyas automation manages to show where the highest energy costs occur, allowing you to contain them”, explains the professional.
Make your home more technological without spending a lot
Although it is not a very cheap process, it is still possible to save money when automating your home. For this, the recommendation is not to apply the technology in all environments. “If you only consider sound and lighting, the customer will already have a great automation experience. In addition, investment will already drop considerably”, show architects Fernanda Hardt and Juliana Rinaldi.
important precautions
Despite all the ease offered by the integration of the various systems of a house, some precautions are essential. “It is necessary to know which items will be automated to see the compatibility with the products. For example, not all air conditioning machines can receive the integrated automation system”, explain Fernanda Hardt and Juliana Rinaldi.
The architects add that, in the case of sound and lighting, “it is necessary to run special cabling right at the beginning of the work”. They recommend making a list of all the appliances and items in the house you want to automate; thus, it will facilitate the progress of the work and the correct purchase of equipment.
It is important to have the help of an expert
Currently, there are electronic devices such as the Smart Home that make it possible to manage some elements of the house. “However, they are much simpler than doing a project with a specialist who provides endless automation possibilities for the house”, point out the architects.
In addition, they remember the importance of a trained professional. “It is essential to hire a good professional both so that he has good guidance when choosing which items will be part of the automation and when it comes to executing and configuring the system”, they conclude.
