Outdoor spaces like yards, patios and porches are extensions of your home. If you use smart technology inside, it makes sense to update the outside, too. The right installations will let you adjust the lighting on your deck with your voice or press a button to extend a patio screen for shade on a hot day. Here are some adjustments you can make to create a smarter outdoor living space.
Install Smart Patio Screens
Installing motorized screens on your patio is one of the easiest ways to bring your smart home outdoors. They’re perfect for extending your living space to the outside while protecting you and your outdoor furniture from the elements. They offer shade and privacy during the day and protection from bugs at night.
Shading Texas offers high-quality motorized shades that are compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. The screens can be controlled by voice, with a remote or using an app on your smartphone, allowing you to enjoy your time outdoors without getting up to make manual adjustments.
Consider Smart Outdoor Lighting
Having good lighting on your patio or porch is key to enjoying your time outside at night. By installing smart lighting, you can set schedules to brighten or dim lights at your convenience.
Automatic outdoor lights are also a great way to add security to your home. You can set them to light up automatically as soon as the sun sets to deter intruders, even when you’re not home.
Automate Your Lawn Care
Lawn care involves a lot of manual work, including regular mowing and watering. Smart devices help many homeowners save time and money. For instance, smart mowers use sensors to navigate lawns while cutting grass. Remote phone access and automatic charging make mowing practically effortless.
Smart sprinklers are also great for lawn care because they use weather data and moisture sensors in the soil to know when it’s time to water the lawn — and when to stop.
