Planning a party? Why not put your smart home to work and impress your guests with some fun tech tricks? Here are five ideas for using your smart home to host a party your guests won’t soon forget.
Voice-Activated Drinks
Tired of being the bartender all night? With a smart speaker and compatible smart plugs, you can set up a voice-activated drinks station. Simply plug in your blender, margarita machine, or any other beverage-making appliance and name the plug something like “Drinks.” Then, when guests ask for a drink, they can use the voice assistant to turn on the plug and start the machine. You’ll be free to mingle while your guests get their own drinks.
Smart Lighting
Want to set the mood for your party? Use your smart lighting to create a colorful and fun atmosphere. With smart bulbs, you can change the color and brightness of your lights with a tap of your phone or a voice command. Try setting different colors for different rooms or syncing the lights to the beat of the music.
Smart Home Theater
Looking for a way to impress your guests with a movie or show? With a smart TV and compatible streaming device, you can easily set up a home theater experience. Use your smart assistant to play your favorite movie, dim the lights, and even adjust the temperature for maximum comfort.
Smart Games
Want to keep your guests entertained with some fun games? There are a variety of smart games you can play with your voice assistant, from trivia to interactive storytelling. You can also use your smart home to set up classic party games like charades or Pictionary, with a smart speaker serving as the timer and scorekeeper.
Smart Security
Finally, don’t forget about using your smart home for security. With smart cameras and motion sensors, you can keep an eye on your guests and make sure everyone is having a safe and fun time. And if someone forgets their phone or keys, you can use your smart locks to let them back in without having to get up from the party.
There you have it, five fun ways to use your smart home to host a party. With a little bit of tech and some creativity, you can impress your guests and have a great time. Just be careful not to let the smart home steal the show!
