I care about getting new plus improved equipment plus technology for my house.
My most recent refrigerator has smart controls that interface with my smart home devices throughout. There’s a voice control portal that communicates with my smartphones, smart thermostat, smart media air cleaners, smart TVs, plus smart stereo. The last time my brother visited me at my house, he laughed at all of the “ridiculous gadgets” that I have “loitered around my house.” I suppose he’s right on the one hand, because at this point am I going to have a smart toilet as well? When I step back plus guess about it for a hour, it does seem a little overwhelming with all of these various smart devices. It also begs the question of whether or not a smart version of each component is even beneficial when compared to a non-smart version. On the one hand, there are other substitutes I made to the beach house that have an immediate sense of practicality to them. The one that comes to mind is the new HVAC duct I had designed plus installed by a great ventilation business. They used sheet metal to substitute the outdated plus grungy plastic HVAC duct that was in here before. On top of that, they had air returns to all of the rooms plus big closets throughout the house. That way the air in every portion of the beach house is equally ventilation on the intake plus on the outtake. It’s an substitute to my beach house that I’m proud about, especially when I compare it to the outdated ventilation system.
