Technology is advancing at breakneck speed, and thanks to the creation of ever smaller and more capable chips, devices with completely unexpected functions are appearing. And among all this maelstrom of gadgets, there is a niche that is growing more and more, and it is none other than the connected home or smart home.
Can I make my device smart?
Wireless connections are the order of the day in all homes, so today more than ever it is extremely easy to have countless options that make everyday life even easier for everyone. With this intention, countless devices and accessories appear whose sole function is to grant wireless capabilities to everyday things that we did not think we could automate.

Thus, you could simulate the presence of people inside the home, being able to open and close the windows when the sun rises and falls.
