When we moved into 2022, the smart home automation market evolved at a rapid pace. From voice-controlled assistants to advanced security features, there were a plethora of new technologies and trends that shaped the way we interacted with our homes. In this blog post, we will be taking a look at the top 10 smart home automation trends that you should keep an eye on in the coming year.
Voice Control: Voice-controlled assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are still growing, and are expected to become even more prevalent in 2023. These devices allow you to control your home’s lighting, temperature, and other features with simple voice commands.
Remote Control: With the rise of mobile technology, it’s now possible to control your home’s systems from anywhere in the world, using a smartphone or tablet. This means you can adjust the temperature, turn off the lights, or check on your security cameras even when you’re away from home.
Energy Management: Smart home automation systems are also becoming increasingly adept at managing energy usage. This means you can set your thermostat to turn off when you’re away, or automatically adjust the lighting in your home based on the time of day.
Advanced Security: In 2023, smart home security systems will become even more sophisticated. This includes facial recognition technology, motion detection, and other features that can help keep your home safe and secure.
Smart Lighting: Smart lighting is becoming increasingly popular, with many homeowners using it to create ambiance and set the mood in their homes. With smart lights, you can set the brightness, color, and temperature of your lights to suit your preferences.
Home Entertainment: With the rise of streaming services, home entertainment systems are becoming increasingly popular. This includes everything from smart TVs to home theaters, and even gaming consoles.
Smart Kitchens: Smart home automation is also making its way into the kitchen. This includes things like smart ovens and refrigerators, as well as other appliances that can be controlled using a smartphone or tablet.
Smart Home Monitoring: Remote monitoring systems are becoming increasingly popular, allowing you to keep an eye on your home, even when you’re away. This includes cameras, motion sensors, and other devices that can alert you to potential problems.
Home Health Monitoring: In 2023, we can expect to see more smart home automation systems that focus on health and wellness. This includes things like sleep tracking devices, air quality sensors, and other devices that can help you maintain your health and well-being.
What’s the ‘Matter’: Well the time has come to talk about Matter 1.0. This has been a long time coming and will see smart home technology move towards a more collaborative IoT environment. What we mean by this is your consumer (DIY) grade smart home tech will finally start talking to other products where not previously possible. Matter is a protocol that is focused on interoperability of ALL smart home devices and we believe 2023 will be the year DIY smart home technology becomes less restricted to one ecosystem or the other. Over 280 companies including Apple, Amazon, Google and Samsung have cooperated with the Connectivity Standards Alliance to create Matter 1.0, a protocol that enables consumers to really go to town on creating their own smart home without the restriction of sticking to one ecosystem.

In conclusion, 2023 will bring many new and exciting trends in smart home automation. From voice control and energy management to advanced security and home health monitoring, there are many new technologies and features that will make our homes more efficient, more convenient, and more comfortable. But the biggest improvement to come is the resolution of interoperability, once Matter really get’s a hold, the industry is going to bang.
