Dantotsu is a "smart speaker" (46.9 %).It is owned by nearly half of the people.Anyway, even the writer of the mechanical deafness has put a smart speaker at home, listen to tomorrow's weather and current temperature, and measure it for 3 minutes.And he sometimes says, "I didn't understand well."

The second is "Cleaning Robot" (35.2 %).If you press the switch, it will clean it on your own, so many families will use it.Since then, the third is "Smart Light" (24.6 %), the fourth is the "Smart Home Appliance Controller" (20.4 %), and the fifth is the "air conditioner connected to the net" (19.2 %).

In fact, the ranking changes slightly depending on the family structure.The top3 of each is as follows.

■ Single person (1) Smart speaker: 52.8 % (2) Cleaning robot: 32.1 % (3) Smart home appliance controller: 26.4 %3) Smartlight: 29.5 % ■ Living with parents (1) Smart speaker: 50.3 % (2) Smart light: 39.5 % (3) Cleaning robot: 26.8 %

"Smartlight" is a lighting fixture that supports the Internet.Through a smart speaker, you can turn on lighting by voice, or remote the lighting by remotely control from your smartphone on the go.In addition, the "smart home appliance controller" usually has a remote control for each home appliance, but it controls them together.

By combining smart home appliances, home appliances can be operated through a smart speaker or remote control from smartphones.I haven't used it so much, but now there are air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens, etc. that connect to the Internet, so it seems that you can turn on the air conditioner before returning home or check the ingredients in the refrigerator during shopping.

Smart home appliances are effective in operating voice operations, remote control, and reducing housework burden

So what effect do you feel by introducing smart home appliances?

Here, "voice operation" (32.3 %), "housework reduction" (31.5 %), and "remote control" (30.9 %) were listed as three major benefits.

However, there was a difference in how the effect was felt depending on the family structure.■ Single person (1) Voice operation: 42.5 % (2) Remote control: 29.9 % (3) Non -contact and hands -free: 28.8 %3) Reduction of housework burden: 34.1 % ■ Living with parents (1) Reduction of housework burden: 34.4 % (2) Voice operation: 33.1 % (3) Remote control: 29.3 %

Single people have a great effect on voice operation, but when they become a child -rearing family, they are effective in being able to turn on and off such as air conditioners and lighting by remotely.Although this reason is not clear, it may be that a single person may do voice operation instead of asking someone to operate something, or a smart speaker will be a conversation partner.In addition, it seems that the child -rearing family often operates from the go to improve their family's lives.

Also, the reduction in housework may be largely due to cleaning robots.It will be cleaned while going out or while doing other housework or work at home, so you can feel the housework efficiency.

Discover the users of smart home appliances!How to use it?

In fact, the editor in charge of the SUUMO Journal Editorial Department (corresponding to a child -rearing family) also uses smart home appliances.

First, it is said that smart speakers are installed in each room so that audio announcements are flowing on time, respectively.For example, in the morning, we set it to announce what garbage day today, enumerate what we bring to a child's nursery, or call for a fire check during the time to go out.

In addition, the smart speaker calls for children's brushing and sleeping time, and using a picture book reading service to reduce the burden on child care.

Of course, the company is working together with home appliances, operating air conditioners and TVs by voice, and turning off the bedroom lighting on time.He is busy with work, child -rearing, and housework, so he feels a great benefit to prevent human errors in the "reminded function", and to be able to operate in speeches and remotely to save time.

In this way, using smart home appliances according to the family situation will not only make your daily life convenient but also reduce stress.At present, there are many types of smart home appliances, so it is better to combine them well depending on which parts of living you want to improve.

On the other hand, in the survey results, the proportion of "multiple home appliances" is 17 %, which is not yet large.There is still a hurdle to spread, such as difficult to choose a smart home appliance, is more expensive than general ones, needs to set up each other, and pointed out security issues.。

However, it will be indispensable for future life, so I would like to try more.
