In the bedroom

This is the ultimate take. A very last one before reaching the summit. I reach out to grab it when suddenly… It’s time to wake up. Ambient music fills my alarm clock while my eyes open gradually and gently thanks to light therapy adapted. Weather reportroad traffic, appointments of the day, a word is enough for me to have all the useful information, while the rolling shutters rise automatically to open themselves to the dawning day. The night was particularly restful on this large mattress with resistance separated which allows its temperature to be regulated according to the body of each person it receives. After checking the quality of my sleep on my connected watch, I decide to set foot on earth.

In the bathroom

Head to the shower to start the day off right. Because with this automatic water flow system at the appropriate temperature depending on the weather and whose flow rate is adjustable by voice, there is no longer any need to juggle between hot and cold! Once clean, I take the opportunity to go through my connected scale which gives me all the necessary information on my state of health, weight, blood pressure, temperature… The connected medicine cabinet then alerts me to the taking of my medication and tells me that I will have to renew the prescription while integrating the data into my to do list in line. Remains the test of mirror, fortunately in 3D which allows me to examine myself from all angles without giving me a stiff neck! For each face in the family, it delivers beauty tips and advice based on the weather, skin texture, level of fatigue, upcoming activity…

In the kitchen

The coffee programmed remotely from my bed is waiting for me, all warm in the kitchen. The connected fridge then advises me on the breakfast adapted to my program for the day, informs me of the weather, the data that the scale has “balanced”, and of course what it has left in its stomach. Besides, the shopping list was sent to me on my smart phonewhile I throw a eye on the baking of bread in the oven that I can consult without moving thanks to the integrated camera. For the wasteno need to worry anymore, the trash can shows me the right bins depending garbage that I offer him to swallow. It remains to prepare the washing machine which adapts its cycle according to the weight of the laundry, the color, or tissues. I will activate it remotely with the smart connect to fall on off-peak hours, such as the dishwasher Besides.

In the living room

Arrived in the living room, I necessarily pass in front of the television, which becomes a mirror once turned off. Practice ! Especially since it can also be used as a discreet surveillance camera, a videophone to see who is at carries but also to display the schedule of the family and thus not to forget the appointments. I also take this opportunity to record a message of encouragement to the youngest for her quiz of the day… In TV mode, moreover, the device detects signs of fatigue, stops the film or records the end as a big ! Well, that’s not all of that, but it’s time to leave in peace thanks to the different sensors of the room that regulate the ventilation of the house according to the humidity rate, the pollution of theair, etc And then, in the event of a problem, I will be alerted by smartphone of any leak or heating plate left on. My bulbs remotely controllable also allow to simulate a presence during my absences in my home. I also recently installed this small box which interrupts the current on the unused sockets. Guaranteed savings for the wallet and for the planet!

Outside

Before leaving, you must pass through the mailbox, with a reader of QR Code which controls the opening in case of parcels, USB port for leaflets in digital version and optical reader to list the letters of the day when I am not at home. Sensors, there are also some on my network of pipelines to detect the slightest leak and act before water damage! Even the bird feeder is connected to distribute seeds to them as soon as they land there, but also to activate a camera so that I can observe them without frightening them. In the meantime, I come to my car that I defrosted remotely to be on time for my carpoolers. Let’s go, the day starts well!
