If you enjoy all of the convenience home automation offers, it’s time to bring that same convenience to your backyard. Let’s examine the best ways to launch this trend in your outdoor living space.

1. A Smart Hot Tub

What could be better than relaxing in your Smart Jacuzzi? Powered by the SmartTub™ System and the matching Smartphone app, your spa and its maintenance is much more easily managed.

The SmartTub™ System, which can be downloaded for free from Apple’s App Store or from Google Play, offers tips and videos to help you look after your spa. It also provides energy usage estimates and power outage notifications and permits you to update settings, such as energy efficiency and temperature. If a problem occurs, the system will send you and your dealer an alert. You can then 'Click for Service' if you want the dealer to send a technician to take care of the problem.

The SmartTub™ System is available on all Jacuzzi® Hot Tub models from 2018 onward.

2. A Smart Ceiling Fan

Although you may think it odd to install a ceiling fan outside, a smart model can be a great benefit to your time outdoors. These Wi-Fi enabled fans help cool you when it’s hot with the added benefit of keeping mosquitoes and other insects at bay. Controlled through your smartphone or a home assistant like Alexa, these fans can be installed above your patio, in your pergola, gazebo or hung from your verandah.

3. Smart Lawn Maintenance

If you struggle to remember to water your lawn, a smart sprinkler system will definitely come in handy. These Wi-Fi enabled sprinkler systems to allow for remote yard irrigation, operated through your laptop, tablet or Smartphone.

When setting up the smart water irrigation system, you enter information such as the amount of sun exposure your yard receives as well as plant or grass type, if you know it. The smart system then adjusts to fit your lawn’s needs, eliminating over or under-watering. It even takes the local weather forecast into consideration. So, if it’s calling for a lot of rain, the system will automatically skip that day’s irrigation schedule.

4. High-Tech Mood Lighting

Technology can help you set the mood. Whether you want a party scene or something more intimate and romantic, customized lighting is the answer. Smart lights can also be a great security measure.

Whether you have them for ambience or to beef up your home security, you can customize color and bulb temperature. You’ll also be able to control the lights with voice activation and movement sensors. Most smart fixtures can also be integrated with your home assistant of choice.
