My dream smart home ….
The bedroom: When I go to bed, the smart bed automatically gets warm. When I am asleep, it controls the temperature. In the morning, when I wake up, my robots makes me a cup of tea. I drink the tea in bed and then get up.
The bathroom has a smart shower. When my sister is in the shower, it stops after five minutes and says to her, “Your brother wants to use the bathroom now.” The smart mirror says nice things to me like, “Your hair is great today!”
The kitchen has a smart fridge. It orders food from the Internet. My smart fridge orders food for all my family and it knows our favourite food. It talks to my family. It says, “Don’t eat that, it’s John’s!”
The living room: The smart TV knows what I like and it finds things that I want to watch. It doesn’t listen to other people.
My smart robot: My smart robot looks after the dog. It gives him food and it takes him out for exercise.
