4 Safety Precaution Features Every Smart Home Needs

4 Safety Precaution Features Every Smart Home Needs

As we move into higher realms in technology our world is becoming a smarter place to live in. Our home is one of the place where we always spend the most of our time.
Safety Precaution Features Every Smart Home Needs
It’s where we relax, spend time with our loved ones, live, celebrate and have fun. Home automation is quite a thing of today’s age! Most individuals are now decking their home with smart home devices and gadgets to make our everyday simpler.
Smart home gears not just make our life convenient but these everyday solutions also bring technology to life! But as they say, you can’t prevent problems but surely deal with them in the best possible way, right? So, while using these smart home gadgets we have to think ahead and do a few things to keep our home’s environment totally out of danger.

You want to know how to keep your home safe?. Below are a few safety measures that a smart home needs in order to stay safe.


1. Automatic Shut down for Smart Plugs :

A majority of smart home gadgets are connected to Smart plugs. So, it’s really important that we set a schedule which automatically terminates the connection (if they’re not already turned OFF or not in use).
Automatic Shut down for Smart Plugs
 Suppose, you’re rushing late to work and forgot to switch off your space heater then by setting an automatic schedule for smart plug can help protect your home’s environment from any sort of fire danger. Doing so will not just help you in saving down on your electricity bill but it’s a great safety measure as well.


2. Update Emergency Contact info :


Update Emergency Contact info
For devices like smoke detectors and fire alarms it’s always recommended that you update your emergency contact information. As soon as your smoking system detects any intrusion we often fumble to find the right number to call and either way end up calling on 911 emergency! So, to avoid this it’s always better to have a 10-digit emergency contact number on which you can instantly call upon as soon as anything turns up.


3. Keep track of Voltage Levels :


Keep track of Voltage Levels
While using smart plugs there’s a feature when you can be notified as soon as high voltage is detected on a specific appliance. Getting such notifications on your Smartphone can easily protect your devices as you can instantly turn them off via app to prevent any sort of danger or mishap. Say, if any smart appliance exceeds the set threshold voltage level it can immediately turn off.


4. Temperature and Humidity Warnings :


Temperature and humidity warning
A smart thermostat is one of the most commonly used smart home gadget. While you’re at home it’s pretty easy to control temperature levels and see how your device is acting up. But what if you’re out somewhere for a longer period say vacation, you cannot predict anything being that far, right? Most smart thermostats that are available out there now come with an inbuilt feature which notifies you when your home’s temperature or humidity level reaches a certain value. So, once you enable such notifications or warning, you can have a peace of mind even if you’re out for a longer duration. And suppose you get any sort of warning, you can call a friend or ask neighbor to go check on your place for any problem.



With these four precautions you're entitled to a more safe abode. Remember, God First!!!.

Unbreakable Panel For Samsung Display Gets Approval

Unbreakable Panel For Samsung Display Gets Approval

Just of recent, samsung display developed a new ‘Unbreakable Panel’ for smartphones. This flexible OLED panel has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories
For those who aren’t aware, Underwriters Laboratories is the official testing company for OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration of US Department of Labor).
Samsung Display’s Unbreakable Panel gets certified

This flexible OLED panel was developed with an unbreakable substrate and an overlay window securely adhered to it. This is opposed to currently used flexible display products with attached glass-cover which is easily breakable on severe impact.

The newly developed unbreakable display from Samsung has passed several rigorous durability tests which are real-time and based on US military standards.
It includes drops from 1.2 meters (about 4 feed) above ground 26 times in succession, Extreme temperatures (71-degrees to -32 degrees) etc.

The Samsung Display’s new panel even managed to survive at 1.8 meter (about 6 feet) drop tests. It operated normally with no sign of damage.
The fortified plastic window is especially suitable for portable electronic devices not only because of its unbreakable characteristics, but also because of its lightweight, transmissivity and hardness, which are all very similar to glass,” said Hojung Kim, general manager of the Communication Team, Samsung Display Company.
