The future of smart homes in Bend: What to expect in the years to come

If you would like a home that is more responsive to your life, secure, and energy efficient, you’ll be excited about the future of smart homes in Bend. See what the future promises, what current smart homes can already do, and how the role of AI will continue to increase in home security.

Future smart homes will automatically adjust to your lifestyle

Imagine having every aspect of your home personalized to your lifestyle. When you arise to begin your day, your thermostat adjusts, lights illuminate, and your coffee starts brewing. These actions will take place on their own without you having to lift a finger, say a command, or program automation rules. Future smart homes in Bend will be better able to predict your needs and accommodate your lifestyle.

This shift to predictive behavior is already unfolding. To illustrate, the Vivint smart thermostat can independently adjust based on occupancy and learn your preferences in time. Your smart home will function independently to enhance your convenience and comfort while improving energy efficiency.

How will home security in Bend change?

Tools like biometric access, AI-equipped video cameras, and drone monitoring will make your smart home more secure than ever before. This is what you can expect:

• Biometric access: While it’s true that smart locking systems are already phasing out the standard house key, more changes are coming. Future smart homes in Bend will rely more on fingerprint scanning, speech identification, facial recognition, and possibly retinal scanning.
• AI-guided video cameras and predictive analytics: Today’s advanced home surveillance cameras already use artificial intelligence to discern between individuals, animals, and cars, but technology is continually improving. By using predictive analytics, your video cameras will be exceedingly proactive and better at predicting threats. Your smart home will automatically take actions like activating alarms or locking doors when required.
  
• Drone monitoring: This new type of surveillance is already being used in certain applications and is being developed more for residential home security. It offers a more comprehensive view of your property, resulting in quicker recognition of dangers and better safety.

Robotic assistants will make life more convenient and safe

We may be many years away from having fully functional live-in robots, but robotics will be standard in smart homes. Picture using a robotic arm to help you make dinner, wipe counters, and take care of other domestic tasks. From a security perspective, you’ll enjoy having a 24-hour personal monitoring device that can warn you to questionable behavior and take action as necessary.
