Make Your Life Easier with an Air Smart Home Automation Kit

Turning your home into a smart home doesn’t have to be a difficult process. A smart home automation device should make your life easier, not harder. That’s where the new smart home automation kit, Air, from Leaf Technologies, comes in. The kit was designed to be easy to set up and use, so that you can reclaim your day in order to have more free time and spend less time worrying about the status of your home. Currently, Air is only available in India. But Air’s nationwide success and global praise guarantees that it’ll soon be available in the states.

What the Air Kit Includes

An Air Kit includes a sleek wall unit and switchboard modules. It’s worth noting that you may need several Air kits in order to make your entire home a smart home. The switchboard modules are placed behind existing switchboards in your home to allow appliances to communicate with Air. This will then allow you to control your appliances from the Air app on your Android phone.

There are three different color options for Air, so that your automation device will blend with the aesthetic of whatever room it’s in. It’s meant to work with your home, not against it. The color options include black, maple, or rosewood.

How to Use Air

Control your home from wherever you are with the Air smartphone app. Through the app you can adjust the lighting of a particular room, change the temperature or humidity level of your home, receive updates on your home’s security, and use your phone as a remote control for your TV. You can also schedule your appliances to turn off or on at specific times. Like other smart home hubs on the market, Air strives to learn your habits and preferences to make your life even easier. It’ll even send you notifications on its tasks through the app.

Further, Air works with all of your current appliances — whether they are smart or not — and allows you to control them from your phone. This is a relatively unique feature that many smart home hubs don’t yet have. Air will even tell you how much energy each appliance uses, which is a great feature if you’re looking to cut back on energy usage. Another energy-saving Air feature is the “Away” mode: Air senses when someone has left a room for a period of time, and turns off all electronic items in that room until you’ve returned.
