Just like traditional site-built homes, manufactured homes have evolved with the times, incorporating a wealth of smart technology innovations. While this advancement can initially appear overwhelming, automating your mobile home with cutting-edge tech need not be daunting. In fact, introducing smart home technology can be an exciting process with numerous benefits for mobile homeowners. Here are a few ways to get started:

1. Voice Assistants

This is a simple and effective starting point. Virtual assistant technology, offered by companies like Meta, Amazon, Apple, and Google, provides an extra helping hand in your daily life. For instance, if you’re preparing for your day and need to check traffic conditions for your commute, a simple question to your virtual assistant is all you need. Some of the smart technology solutions mentioned below incorporate virtual assistant functionalities.

2. Smart Thermostats

Here’s a small yet impactful way to bring automation to your manufactured home. Smart thermostats can be programmed to switch off at specific times of the day or when you leave your home. They also enable remote control, optimizing energy efficiency. This technology is an excellent means of identifying areas where you may be using unnecessary power, ultimately leading to energy cost savings.

If your mobile home is your vacation home, this is even better! You can keep power low before you’re planning on visiting and remotely power your home so the temperatures are comfortable when you get there.

3. Smart Appliances

Modern mobile homes often feature smart appliances, ranging from dishwashers and refrigerators to washers and dryers. These devices are typically Wi-Fi compatible, allowing remote control from anywhere. Smart refrigerators, in particular, offer advanced features like integration with music streaming apps, interior visibility without opening the door, and synchronization of shopping lists across various smart devices. Other smart appliances can be scheduled to start at specific times or automatically power down after use.

4. Smart Lighting

Lighting technology has made significant strides in recent years. Smart lighting systems facilitate effortless control of lights – switching them on or off, changing colors, or responding to occupancy. Many lighting manufacturers, such as GE, offer apps that pair with their lights, enabling you to set lighting timers and control your lights remotely via your smartphone. Furthermore, your virtual assistant can often connect with smart lights, allowing voice commands like “Alexa, living room on.”

Another option worth exploring is smart plugs, which can convert your existing lamp or light fixture into a smart light, controllable through a mobile app or voice commands.

5. Interior and Exterior Cameras

In today’s world, smart cameras have become a near-essential feature of homes. They offer unparalleled convenience and security by allowing real-time monitoring of your property. Trusted smart camera brands like Ring and Wyze offer options for front door surveillance, exterior home monitoring, and even indoor viewing – ideal for keeping an eye on pets or children from a distance. These cameras seamlessly integrate with your smartphone, enabling you to check in on your home’s security and well-being, no matter where you are.

Embrace the convenience and efficiency of smart technology to enhance your mobile home, gradually integrating automation and personalizing your living space to suit your needs.
