The pandemic has profoundly transformed the way we work. The new transformation has brought new opportunities and problems. Today, we'll look at how home automation can help people work from home. Let's take a look.
Remote working trend overview
For many of the workers who can't work at home, the pandemic has brought unprecedented concerns. Most people are reluctant to interact with others in their workspace (21% of respondents expressed concern). About half are worried that they might spread or contract the virus.
As remote working might seem a good solution, it comes with its own set of problems. Remote workers are less motivated to do their work. According to our survey, 42% of workers under 50 have difficulty adapting to the new working style. Especially, 53% of those aged 18 to 29 feel less motivated to get their job done. All these factors culminate in longer working hours due to a lack of efficiency.
Then, how can we cope with this situation? As you are aware, digital infrastructures have been critical to support working and studying remotely. They act as a bridge, connecting workers and students with the external environment. In this regard, HDL is one of the leading technology developers of smart home systems.
An automated lighting system keeps your home safe from virus contamination
Even though our daily routine is mostly spent at home, we all need to go out. When outside, we can't avoid interactions with others. We refer to the noisy neighbors, the pushy sellers at the grocery store, and those colleagues we haven't seen in a while.
When we go back home, we have to turn on the lights, switch on the thermostat and open the windows. Here is when the virus can be spread all over our house. Touching anything in the room with your hands can lead to a contaminated environment.
With the HDL automation system in your home, this will no longer be your concern. The minute you walk into the house, the lights are on, and the air-conditioner starts running. It's not magic! You can set the system in advance, making your smart house take care of everything. You can go straight to wash your hands and get back to your routine. No need for screen touching, which is the best way to limit virus spread.
Choose the light setting that keeps you energetic
After working a long shift in your home, it's perfectly normal for you to suffer from fatigue. Light can mediate the secretion of adrenaline in your body. Thus, if you set the light right, you can relieve some of the accumulated stress. Less stress equals higher productivity and efficiency during your job.
If you prefer artificial light, you can try turning up the light tone into a cold shade to help you stay focused. However, if you look for natural light, you can also tone down the brightness. During the day, you can also pull the curtains with the voice command. HDL technology keeps you juiced up all day long.
Smart home automation takes care of every trivial details
While working, you feel the room is a little cold. You start looking for the thermostat remote. Later, you think there is too much light in the room, and you draw the curtains. Then, you want to listen to the radio or turn on the TV. Oops! Half an hour has gone, and no work has been done. It seems that you are never going to be immersed in your work.
HDL technology provides a smart solution to all the little things that bother you. Say something like, "Hey Google, turn up the temperature" or "Alexa, switch on the speaker." You can even draw the curtains with just a handclap. All these comforts can help you concentrate better on your work.
Conclusion
A smart home system can effectively make our life easier. Fewer things to worry about make us more productive on the job. During this time, HDL is in the front line to support remote working with smart home solutions. Want to know more? Contact us!
