Whether you are on one end or the other in terms of your stance towards robotics, smart appliances makes it easier for you to have your home chores automated. Thanks to their pre preset settings and smart phones accessibility, having your home chores run remotely is now possible and easier thanks to the features present in smart appliances.
These appliances also save energy. They do so by learning your particular use profile – when it might make better economic sense to wash the dishes or the oven.
Smart Refrigerator

Nearly all of today’s smart refrigerators offer a touchscreen interface that you can control from any location, using a smartphone app, to access recipes, shopping lists and change temperature settings. LG’s InstaView ThinQ fridge is equipped with cameras inside that enable you to check what’s inside it without opening the doors; this fridge can reorder groceries once its sensors sense you’re low on supplies; it can play music from its Spotify app, and it boasts a 29-inch viewing screen for video streaming. It does enough stuff for it to be because it’s more than just a gimmick; it’d be so much easier to use if it had Alexa integration. Bixby has voice assistance.
Smart Washer
The use of smart home appliances in doing the laundry work will add ease to the task due to intelligent features that make them easier and inexpensive over some period of time.
For example, a smart washer will help to use water and detergent in accordance to its load nature and volume. Look for a machine with odour-block technology that diffuses fragrance during the wash cycle to neutralise deodorisers and other odours. Certain washers can be synced up with larger smart home ecosystems to enable voice control (via a device such as Alexa or Google Home) or control through an app. Smart washers with built-in scales that weigh your clothing at the start of each cycle allow you to put in exactly the right amount of laundry detergent, based on the weight of what’s in the machine. Some, such as LG’s steam washer and dryer stack, can even download the cycles directly to the machine through the app.
Smart Dryer
Smart appliances make domestic life easier for time-poor families by automating the chores of life; running the laundry and cooking, not only will save energy and make our homes greener but will also create more time to do the things that matter. Smart dryers incorporate sensors to reduce the amount of water and energy used – and improve cleaning performance, while simultaneously monitoring operational conditions to send an alert for maintenance and thus reduce costs while minimising risks of blocked filters or lint traps. These dryers can also tie into home assistants, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to schedule and activate them from your smartphone or even your voice, so you can avoid over-drying. Some models boast smart, moisture-detecting sensors that will pause the cycle when your clothes are done drying, so that your clothes don’t simply keep getting baked dry.
Smart TV
Smart TVs give users a better home entertainment. With Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity, these television sets can access a wide range of online content and apps, including menus and icons controlled by remote controls or even voice command control. Secondary consumers, on the other hand, can use smart home devices to refine window or other stimuli temperature settings or scheduling or remotely monitor energy consumption and to operate smart home hubs to control compatible smart home devices, such as thermostats, for refined window or other stimuli temperature settings or setting schedules or control of the area for remote monitoring of energy consumption, and to display feeds of cameras or other smart home devices, or to provide interactive organic navigation controls such as second screen companion devices, spatial gesture input and voice recognition capabilities. Most importantly, streaming deivces eliminate the need for additional set top boxes, save time and space, but in order to stream on-demand episodic shows and movies without grinding, one has to be connected to a faster WiFi modem.
Smart Audio System
If ever there was a category of home furnishing that cries out for smartening up, it is music. You love music but never quite find convenient ways to listen everywhere. A new category of wireless speaker systems that hook directly into a home Wi-Fi network and can be controlled via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri has expanded dramatically in the past 12 months. Most also have a line-in port, so an old record player or even CD player can still be hooked up, like my Bose Wave radio I’ve had for 15 years. Smart kitchen appliances range from automatic coffee-makers that automatically program selected times to make fresh pots of your favourite brew to fridges that monitor your inventory and expiry dates, making shopping lists and suggesting recipes not using ingredients close to their ‘use by’ dates. A wide variety of domestic machinery includes monitors of household systems – monitors for power surges or floods that will shut off the flow of water before disaster occurs; this also includes smart toaster technology that makes toast that is perfectly browned every time.
