IoT trends in condominiums have given rise to a robust network that automate tasks and offer a smooth experience for home owners.

The smart appliance market has reached about $37.2 billion in 2020 and is only expected to go up further. The days are not far where smart kitchens no longer mean smart appliances in the kitchen, but one which can cook food for you.
• Smart Technology – IoT in condominiums helps conserve ecosystem with the eco-friendly technology. Solar panels, green roofs, green buildings, rainwater harvesting and reusability of water – all these reduce the energy consumption, thereby reducing the additional costs and resources.
• Smart Security – Safety is foremost when considering renting or purchasing a condominium. With IoT devices and sensors, security measures are now more advanced. Live video surveillance helps monitor your home in real time. Smart doors with  a number combination keypad or fingerprint access eliminate the need for keys, thereby reducing hassles and increasing security.
• Smart Buildings – Condominiums are multi-storey buildings and involve a lot of communication and maintenance.

With facial recognition and fingerprint access at the security gate, to a centralized system to handle requests, smart buildings are automated, another cap to the smart condos.

With unprecedented benefits to the residents using smart technology to integrate IoT devices with the entire network, smart condos offer comfort, convenience and a luxurious lifestyle to the residents.
