It is a known fact that technology has simplified our lives and it has offered us a lot more comfort and convenience. So, why can’t we just use the technological advances to make our manufactured homes a lot smarter?
You can easily transform pre manufactured homes to a technologically advanced structure, without any extensive and expensive home renovations. Many homeowners aren’t aware of the fact that turning a manufactured home into a smart home is a lot easier and affordable.
What is a Smart Home?
The term ‘smart home’ can be simply referred as a home that is remote-controlled or automated in some way. This usually involves a Wi-Fi and a smartphone connection.
Almost all the products that are in installed in a smart home have the ability control themselves to save the money of the homeowner. If you have a Wi-Fi connection in your manufactured home, then we can safely assume that you are well on your way to having a smart home.
Many homeowners complain that their Wi-Fi is weak in certain parts or segments of their house. If you are having this issue, then you can effectively solve this problem by using a power line networking plug.
It looks exactly like a regular power outlet, but it directly plugs into the electric socket. This inclusion can be considered as your first step towards a smart home.
USB Power Outlet
Most of the manufactured homes usually have a limited number of power outlets. This means that the homeowners will run out of places to charge their camera, tablet, or phones.
If you are not happy with the limited number of power outlets in your home, then installing USB power outlets will help you to eliminate the issue. These devices do have traditional electrical outlets, but there are also plenty of USB ports too.
If you are having trouble in remembering where you left your keys or if you want to increase the security of your house, then we highly recommend you to upgrade the locking mechanism of the front door of your manufactured home with a keyless entry system.
There are plenty of keyless entry systems available in the market for pre manufactured homes. The affordable ones just have a keypad, while the advanced systems have special key tags and they also work with your smartphone.
