As technology evolves and energy-conscious solutions rise in their vitality within modern-day construction, smart homes are as popular as ever. In this day and age, it is almost impossible to make it through your search for a modern home without running into some mention of smart home technology and what it can offer. With all these resources, it might be hard to decipher: what do I really need to turn my home into a smart home?
Through his experience gained working his way up in the Canadian real estate market, Simon Kronenfeld has learned just what it is about smart homes that makes them assets to your home, and shares his wisdom through his never-ending search for potential and opportunity.
How Can I Set Up My Very Own Smart Home?
At its core, the “smart home” is an umbrella term for a variety of definitions referring to residences, or “homes”, which feature devices able to automate otherwise manual tasks, often remotely. Some smart homes are built with their ability to do so in mind, while others can be customized over time. Your ability to interact with your smart home, be it through text commands, voice commands, or whichever other method you find resonates with you the most, along with its adaptability to suit your individual needs, is one of the driving reasons for the rising of the smart home among the public.
Turning your home into a smart home might be easier than you think: all you really need are a few key elements. The most important things you need to have are a stable wifi connection, a few smart devices (such as alarm systems or stereos), and your smart home system – a software or unit collecting and maintaining the data from your smart devices.
Whether it be a smart security system, temperature control, or even a virtual assistant in your home, Simon Kronenfeld recognizes the importance of discipline and persistence when it comes to striving for the best possible quality result, a work ethic which he applies through areas ranging from his experience in the construction and electronics industry, to his understanding of smart home technology as well.

Among the many, some of the most enticing of these are the potential of integrating smart home systems to save you both valuable energy and money through the optimization of your energy bills and appliance use.
Ease of access, safety and security, and delegation of more menial tasks to your smart home system are some other major benefits of implementing smart home technology in your day-to-day life. Smart home technology also allows you to keep track of and stay in control of your regular energy use, allowing you to optimize your perfect balance of energy use.
Having worked his way up through the housing sector, starting as a dishwasher at the age of 15 and successfully starting his own construction company only 2 years later, Simon Kronenfeld has learned through his dedication to his career what the true value of optimizing your focus and energy can lead to, and which opportunities it can open up.
