Fall is the season when we transition from hot summer days to cooler, darker evenings. It’s the ideal time to implement smart automations in your home to increase your comfort, save energy and cope with temperature changes. With the help of VIKI, the smart home system that learns your habits and adapts according to them, you can benefit from a series of functions that will transform your home into a more efficient and pleasant space.
1. Automatic light adjustment for darker days
Fall brings with it shorter days and less natural light. With VIKI, you can automate the lighting in your home so that it adjusts according to the outside light level or the time of day. For example, VIKI can automatically activate the lighting at a higher intensity early in the morning, when it is still dark, and gradually reduce it during the day. It can also turn on the light in a subtle manner every evening to create a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.
2. Intelligent temperature control for cool days
As the temperature drops, heat management becomes essential to maintaining optimal comfort in the home. VIKI can constantly monitor the outside and inside temperature and automatically adjust the heating system. For example, VIKI can set the temperature differently depending on the time of day: warmer in the morning to help you wake up comfortably, and cooler during the day when the house is empty, thus saving energy. In the evening, the temperature can rise again to ensure a warm and welcoming environment when returning home.
3. Intelligent management of blinds and curtains
In addition to temperature and light control, VIKI can manage blinds and drapes to maximize energy efficiency. By connecting to a weather station and using the geodetic coordinates of your windows, VIKI can calculate when to draw the curtains to prevent heat loss at night, or when to raise the blinds to capture more sunlight during the day. This functionality contributes to maintaining a pleasant indoor climate and reducing energy costs.
4. Programming appliances for maximum efficiency
In the cold season, many of us spend more time at home, which leads to intensive use of household appliances. VIKI offers you the possibility to schedule their use so as to save energy and money. For example, you can set the washing machine to run at times when energy is cheaper or automatically turn on the coffee machine every morning. This not only optimizes energy consumption, but also simplifies your daily routine.
5. Automation of security and comfort scenarios
During the autumn months, when the evenings are getting longer, VIKI can help create a safe and comfortable environment. For example, it can automatically activate outdoor lights when it detects motion or when it gets dark, improving your home’s security. VIKI can also simulate presence in the home when you are away by intelligently controlling lights and other devices.
The smart automations offered by VIKI bring more comfort and efficiency to your home in autumn. Whether it’s automatically adjusting the light, managing the temperature, controlling the blinds or programming the appliances, each function is designed to adapt to your needs and optimize the use of resources, making your home a smart and sustainable space.
