Remember all the fancy conceptions you’ve seen in sci-fi films? Lights that come and off simply upon clapping, and how everything can be controlled with the push of a button. Well, that time is here and now; smart homes are making their way into the market. Yes, we have gradually, unknowingly stepped into the future. Many products and appliances nowadays are equipped with advanced technology to make our lives easier and better. You’ve probably heard about The Visionaire EC, which is the first smart home EC in Singapore. Even though you might not be living there, plenty of goods in the market these days are already embedded with a whole host of interesting functions for you to enjoy a similar lifestyle. So without further ado, let’s welcome the future with tips on how you can “Smartify” your home!
