For those looking to build the perfect smart home, the last 12 months have been fascinating. Once again, the technologically gifted minds of this planet have wowed us with new and tremendous innovations for the rooms and halls or our humble abodes.
It seems that every time you blink, some company somewhere has invented a new and interesting way to turn on what was once a non-communicative household appliance.
Thankfully, the experts over at Look What’s Cool have brought together some of 2016’s most influential gadgets to help you make informative decisions while building your dream smart home.
Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator
The tech-savvy homeowner expects more from their refrigerator than just chilled foods. Enter Samsung. Samsung’s revolutionary refrigerator has a touchscreen on its door that will allow you to manage your groceries, connect with your family, and entertain guests like never before. With three built-in cameras, this smart fridge takes a photo every time the door closes, meaning you can use your Samsung phone from anywhere to check if you’re out of milk… and who’s stealing your favourite chocolate.
Nanoleaf Aurora
Smart lights are now serving as one of the most successful home gadgets money can buy. The Aurora, by Nanoleaf, features a modular panel system that allows you to create beautifully bespoke light mosaics on the walls of your home. A well-rounded app and the choice of over 16.7 million colour variations means the Aurora will teach you to understand the true beauty of colour.
Joule by Chef Steps
Over or under cooked food becomes a thing of the past with a smart kitchen gadget from Chef Steps. The Joule is a cylindrical gadget that simply needs to be placed into a pot of water to work its magic. After placing the Joule into water, choose your desired water temperature from the accompanying app and the Joule will regulate your water to that exact temperature. The only requirement is that you seal your meals into zip-lock bags before submergence.

Building a fantastic smart home is pointless if you have no means of protecting it. Security expert Nestcam has now created an outdoor security camera that aims to deter would-be criminals from bringing you – and your possessions – harm.
