Smart Home Timers

Many would be happy to have "smart House" - so that everything is turned on and off "at the command of the pike." But not everyone can afford the complete set of this miracle of technology. And not everyone needs it in full. To increase the IQ of their apartment, two or three timers will be enough for someone.

You do not need any specialists to install them - just plug the timer into a power outlet, and any connected electrical appliance with a capacity of up to 3500 kW will begin to work according to a given schedule.

The timer will turn on the kettle on time in the morning so that you can drink coffee immediately after waking up. He will also turn off the TV if the audience falls asleep in front of the screen before the film ends. And having programmed the time of your favorite programs, you will never miss them, carried away by business. The compressor in the aquarium will also turn on and off like a clock - without your participation. And as many times as needed. The same goes for dishwashers and washing machines.

And when you want to leave for a few weeks, for example, relax away from home, you will only have to set the timer for a chaotic start. Then those around you will get the impression that life is in full swing in the apartment: the lights, the radio, and the TV turn on and off periodically.

Massive "smarting" of equipment in the house is quite affordable. The cheapest devices are mechanical, they cost from 200 to 500 rubles. Basically, such timers set the on time only for a day (lasting from 15 minutes to two hours).

Electronic timers are a little more expensive - from 500 to 1000 rubles, but they allow you to set a unique program for every day of the week, with accuracy up to a minute.

There are street models that will be very helpful in the area around the house.
