The future of smart homes in Chicago: What to anticipate in the coming years

If you want a home that is more more adaptable to your lifestyle, energy-conserving and secure, you’ll be pleased about the future of smart homes in Chicago. See what the future holds, what modern smart homes can already do, and how artificial intelligence will continue to play a critical part in home security.

Future smart homes will acclimate to your lifestyle automatically

Imagine having every aspect of your surroundings customized to your daily routine. When you get up to begin your day, your coffee machine kicks on, lights activate, and temperature settings change. These actions will occur instantly without you lifting a finger, vocalizing a command, or setting automation rules. Future smart homes in Chicago will be better equipped to predict your needs and adjust to your lifestyle.

This shift to predictive behavior is already happening. To illustrate, the Vivint smart thermostat can independently adjust depending on occupancy and learn your schedule over time. Your smart home can work autonomously to elevate your convenience and comfort while improving energy efficiency.

How will home security in Chicago change?

Tools like AI-driven cameras, drone monitoring, and biometric access controls will allow your smart home to be more secure than ever. The following is what you can anticipate:

• Biometric access: Even though smart locking systems are already phasing out the standard house key, more advancements are on the horizon. Future smart homes in Chicago will rely more on fingerprint identification, voice recognition, face recognition, and perhaps retinal scanning.
• AI-powered video cameras and predictive analytics: Today’s leading home surveillance cameras already use AI to discern between individuals, cars, and animals, but technology is progressively improving. Through predictive analytics, your video cameras will be exceedingly proactive and better at foreseeing threats. Your smart home will automatically take steps like triggering alarms or fastening doors when needed.
  
• Drone monitoring: This new form of surveillance is already being used in select applications and is being fine-tuned for residential home security. It gives you a more detailed view of your surroundings, leading to more rapid detection of dangers and improved safety.

Robotic helpers will make life more convenient and safe

We are probably a number of years away from having fully developed robot attendants, but robotics will soon be common in smart homes. Picture utilizing a robotic arm to help you cook dinner, tidy up, and take care of other household duties. From a security standpoint, you’ll enjoy having a round-the-clock in-home monitor that can warn you to concerning movement and take action as required.
