This smart home product is a gate of water. The project goes by the name of “Water Shade” and keeps a shield of H2O around the fruit it is sworn to protect.

It’s both a dish and a cover, working with water to keep freshness in and everything larger than O2 out!

Designer Yitu Wang doesn’t want to keep you from your delicious apples. This is why in this cool gadget there’s a built in detector that sees your hand in approach, and thus is does desist.

The Smart Touch Refrigerator

Another one of these cool smart home devices is this one. The Smart Touch refrigerator may seem like it’s a long shot, but it captures what a smart fridge is required to be like.

The fridge is definitely a class apart with its half-swirl handle.

The handle hosts an inbuilt biometric sensor that knows who’s opening the fridge door.

Food kept inside the fridge is thus tagged to the people who put them there in the first place. Projectors on each food tray project ‘time stamps’ n the food when you open the door.

The Dividing Printer

While most printers allow you to ‘collate’ prints, there’s always a slight chance that one rogue paper finds itself in the wrong pile.

The Dividing Printer, as its name suggests does something simple yet smart. It mounts the printer on a rail and allows the printer to move left or right while printing documents.

What this does is that it allows the printer to create actual, physical piles of paper that have been segregated from the get go.

The elegance of this solution lies in the fact that it doesn’t change what the printer does. It just adds a small bit of innovation elsewhere to solve the problem.

The Pavati Tap

We never get a chance to see how the hot and cold water blend together within the faucet, before it cascades out like a stream.

Looking almost alien like, the AURA lamp lights up a room with a certain texture and that is because it’s a woven lamp hand made in France.

Change It! Wall

This wall has been passed around on the internet for some time and has become a neat attraction. It’s not LED or anything digital.

It’s actually made of turning triangles with different colors on them, white, black and a rainbow color. It is limited at these three options for now, but I’m sure we’ll see in the future various patterns and images.

Orbital Washing Machine

Washing clothes has never been so easy. With the incorporated basket you can load and unload the clothes in the washing machine as easy as 1, 2, 3.

This isn’t the only innovative feature. The spherical drum is moving on two axes washing your clothes better than the old washing machines that use only one axe.

From what I’ve seen on the market, the ovens are not user friendly at all, having changed over the years only at an aesthetic level without modifying the process in which you actually cook the meal.

FAQ on cool house gadgets

What makes a gadget ‘cool’ for the house?

A cool gadget ticks boxes like innovation, design, and, most crucially, it solves everyday problems with a slick futuristic touch. It’s those smart thermostats that adjust to your habits or the robotic vacuum cleaners that give you more me-time—adding that unexpected “woo!” to home life.

Do smart home gadgets save money?

Absolutely. Take energy-saving gadgets. Switching off lights when you’re not around or optimizing your heating with a smart thermostat can shave a noticeable chunk off utility bills. Over time, they’re not just gadgets—they’re investment pieces squaring off with your monthly outgoings.

How secure are these home automation things?

Security’s a hot talker, right? Brands like Nest and Ring have upped the game for home security. Strong encryption, regular updates, and two-factor authentication are norms nowadays. Yes, like all tech, nothing’s impregnable, but stick with big names and don’t slack on those passwords.

Can I install cool house gadgets myself?

DIY? Why not! Many of these gadgets boast plug-and-play ease. Your Wi-Fi’s the invisible thread linking a lot of these devices, from smart plugs to Bluetooth speakers. Unless you’re rewiring or remodeling, you’re likely good to go solo. Just follow those guides to the letter.

Are there gadgets that work for small apartments?

Space-smart gadgets? They’re all the rage! Modular designs, multi-functional devices, and compact tech make any nook feel high-tech. Gadget-friendly furniture integrates charging docks seamlessly. And IoT isn’t just for sprawling mansions—a snug studio can be as smart as it feels.

What’s the deal with voice-activated systems?

Speak and you shall receive. Voice-activated systems, like Google Home or Amazon Echo, are your personal genies. Music to news, or dimming lights without a lift of a finger, they’re your voice’s BFFs. Plus, they learn over time. Efficiency with a personal twist—that’s the lowdown.

How do cool house gadgets impact the environment?

It’s a greener shade of tech. Many gadgets, like smart meters and automated gardening systems, tune into the eco-side of things. Track energy use or water your plants, but just enough. It’s about being more in sync with our planet’s heartbeat, one gadget at a time.

Can smart house gadgets make my home more accessible?

For those with mobility issues or disabilities, heck yes. Picture controlling lights, temps, or TVs with just your voice or a smartphone tap. Or smart door locks that snap open as you approach. Tech’s morphing our living spaces into pals that get our individual needs.

What are the trendiest gadgets for homes now?

Trend radar’s beeping strong for gadgets like wireless lighting control and the freshest sous vide machines. Fancy a smart mirror that critiques your outfit? It’s out there. Also, buzz around air quality sensors—high time for homes that breathe as healthily as you do.

How do I keep up with updates to these gadgets?

Keeping up’s like a mini hobby—but a cool one, promise. Register your gadgets, get on those mailing lists from brands like Samsung SmartThings or Ecobee, and prep for the odd firmware update or two. Often, it’s a simple button tap. Stay updated, stay ahead.

Conclusion

So, we’ve scrolled through the universe of cool house gadgets and peered into the high-tech looking glass, right? We’ve uncovered gadgets that pick up after us, spin tunes on command, or keep our homes snug or chilled just the way our toes like it.

Wrapping up, it’s wild to think how our walls, our very nooks, and crannies, can get a little brainy with a tiny bit of tech magic. From the cozy corners with innovative household items to kitchens humming with high-tech appliances, it’s like our living spaces now have a heartbeat of their own.

But remember, while decking out your digs with all these marvels:

• Stay eco-smart.
• Security first – those updates aren’t just pop-up pests.
