Advantage Air General Manager, Darren Bee offers his insights into Smart Home technology and why you should consider integrating it into your new Keibuild Home.
WHY THE SMART HOME?

A smart home is a home that makes life easier for you, in really useful ways. I’m talking about touching one button to control multiple items in the home like MyPlace. When you leave in the morning or go to bed at night, one button sets the house the way you want it – no going around the house turning individual items off.

So for me personally, one of the smartest things my smart home allows me to do is to control things when I’m not there. It isn’t necessarily about the convenience of not getting off the couch to turn the light off or showing off to my mates that I can open my garage door from my phone. It’s about receiving an alert that my garage door is still open (thank goodness that didn’t get left up all day!) and then being able to close it as soon as I receive the alert. Peace of mind!

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR AUSTRALIAN HOMES IN THE FUTURE?

In Australia, I think there is a lot of confusion in the market as to what a smart home is, what products are useful vs gimmicky, etc. The biggest problem is that no one seems to have nailed an all-in-one solution. So the result is a bunch of disconnected apps on your phone – that’s not smart.

I think the trend towards smart home is a natural evolution of technology. In the 1980s no one had a remote control garage door – so I guess everyone got wet in the winter time. Fast forward to the 90s and someone thought it would be a good idea to not have to get wet to open the garage. While we take a remote control garage door for granted these days, I’m sure there was a time when the concept was first presented that it felt inconceivable/unnecessary, etc. As technology evolves and consumer electronics companies push more and more products into the market, it forces the consumer to change.

Where I see the future going is towards one platform that serves all. At some point, the world will normalise around 1 language / 1 platform etc. Like it did with VHS and Beta or DVD and whatever its competitors were.
