Van Anh believes that if you want to be neat, you have to hide everything in the drawer. In the kitchen, she made glass sliding doors to separate. When folding the door, it will fit behind the wooden wall. The kitchen is divided into two parts, a washing area on one side and a separate cooking area on the other. Under the drawers, she arranges various types of baking machines, dough mixers, pressure cookers, slow juicers, blenders, air fryers… Especially, when planning the design, Ms. Van Anh does the work. including 220v and 110v power lines.

“My house was just built and lived in for more than a year, but the stair light switch failed twice, the bathroom light switch was also paralyzed. I complained to my husband and the unexpected happened. That day, I went home. It was a bit late, stopped in front of the porch, was struggling to find the key to open the door, when the porch light came on. Looking through the window, I saw my husband sitting on the sofa, holding the phone. Suddenly, the tree lights also filled up. Before, my house didn’t have a lamp hanging on a Taiwanese oak tree. Then the door slowly opened. The garage lights came on, the lights on the stairs were also on. My husband sat there smiling and holding his phone up: “One-touch smart electricity, wife, from now on, no longer worry about breaking the light switch”. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Huyen I walked into the house and looked at the electrical switches. The old switch has been replaced with a new white switch panel with round touch keys that glow when touched. The most interesting thing is that the control is in the application installed on the phone. With just one touch, you can open the door, turn on all kinds of lights in the house, from stair lights, living room to garage, porch, balcony… In the past, I have heard of smart homes with smart lighting systems, hot and cold on and off, air conditioners, televisions, curtains, watering plants… automatically, controlling the house through the Google Assistant virtual assistant and Alexa, remote home monitoring through connecting the camera to the phone… Thought these wonderful things were only available in movies or used for luxury villas, but unexpectedly, I also experienced some of the home’s features. clever. Many people choose to install a smart home from the beginning, but with homes that were originally just a normal house like mine, we can still upgrade to a smart home. The utility from a smart home is something no one can refuse,” said Thanh Huyen. “In the world, the use of smart devices in daily life has become common. However, in Vietnam, most people do not have full access to this trend. Some families If you have used smarthome, sometimes you have not taken advantage of its features and convenience. I am sure that within the last 5 years, the development will be very fast”, said Mr. The Mai, Director of Nha Kinh Equipment Company. North, comment. Smart lighting installer With a solution value of 30 million VND/two-bedroom apartment, middle-income customers, especially young families who love technology, can experience modern life. Smarthome devices help users save time and energy. Besides, using a smart home also brings a sense of security and savings. However, the risk will occur when you do not learn about the smart home brand on the market, use poor quality products to make minor errors in the system. According to architect Nguyen Tuan Dat, ACD design consultancy, 65 Le Hong Phong, Tu Son town, Bac Ninh province, in specific cases, we have a smart way to deploy each type of house. well suited. For example: – For garden villas, smart systems outside the house are very important. You should choose automatic systems of doors, gates, garden lighting, surveillance cameras to increase safety as well as minimize effort for homeowners. – With tube houses, it is recommended to install reversing lighting systems of areas such as stairs, outdoor balconies, smart systems for curtains… – For an apartment building, as a small space model, you can turn the smart system into a housekeeper for yourself. In addition to lighting utilities, watering plants …, you can set a timer for the bath with timed hot water, and cook, turn on and off household appliances… Most smart electrical devices on the market have compact designs, are easy to install and do not affect the common space as well as the aesthetic factor of the house.

Securing the wifi router is the first step homeowners need to take to protect their smart home. During use, it is recommended to update the router’s firmware and always use a complex password for the wifi router. If the router manufacturer does not provide new firmware, users should consider replacing it. Just like not checking your bank account from public wifi, homeowners should avoid accessing smarthome from an open wifi network, but if you need to remotely access your home, use a private network. Using a separate wifi for smart home systems is necessary because sharing a wifi system has many potential safety risks. Smarthome prioritizes the system to be able to self-alert to abnormal intrusion to ensure safety, so users should use devices with automatic alarm setting feature. When there is an unusual intrusion, a notification will be sent to the homeowner’s phone immediately. In smarthome, not only home lock, smart home control applications need abnormal login warning feature, this helps homeowners recognize the risk of network attack to implement instant protection options. then.

This is similar to the fact that many people have a habit of covering the webcam on their laptop to avoid unfortunate images being recorded. Smart devices of unknown origin are at risk of being installed with spyware, which is easy to lose control and have data stolen. To be safe, it is recommended to use equipment from reputable companies, need to check the company history, product support period. From this information, a decision can be made whether to buy the product or not. And more specifically, it is very important to check the owner of the servers that will contain his home’s information because most smarthome devices used in the home communicate with servers in the cloud. In the process of studying the operation of the smart home control system, security experts have discovered serious security holes. Security flaws in the cloud infrastructure and remote code execution, causing a third party to acquire the “super user” right to access and control the smart home system. Immediately, the above findings were shared with smart home providers to immediately address these dangerous security holes. With a smart home, each device inserted into the smarthome can also be a point for network attackers to take advantage of, intrude on the home system …, so smart home security is very necessary for those who want Design your own smart home.

Users can now use old Samsung Galaxy phones as smarthome devices. Current functions include: Using an improved artificial intelligence (AI) solution, Galaxy devices can more accurately distinguish sounds in everyday surroundings, and users can choose to save certain recordings. . For example, if the device detects sounds like a baby crying, barking dogs, cats hum or knocking on the door, it will send an alert directly to the user’s smartphone and the user can hear the recorded sound again. Devices can also be used as a light sensor to measure the level of the room’s brightness. Users can easily set the device to automatically turn on the lights or the TV through SmartThings if the room becomes darker than the preset lighting standard. To use an old Samsung device as a smarthome sensor, make sure that the user is running the most up-to-date version of the SmartThings app from Samsung. The user will also need one of the smartphones as shown in the list of images below. List of Samsung devices that support Galaxy Upcycling. After making sure this, launch SmartThings, then tap the three-line icon in the middle left, tap SmartApps, then tap the three-dot icon in the middle right. Tap SmartThings Labs, then tap Galaxy Upcycle to start the installation process. After installing the Galaxy Upcycle app, users launch it and choose a sensor type. At this point, the user will be asked to choose a location and room where the device will be. These should match up with anything the user previously set up in the Samsung SmartThings app. Done, the user should now see their sensor online and up and running. Finally, plug in the phone, turn off the screen and let the sensor work. Users may need to visit the SmartThings app again and set up automation that uses new sensor data to perform an action, such as automatically turning on the lights in a room when the general environment is too dim.
