« Every object that becomes ‘smart’ does not necessarily become useful, » says François Lavie, director of new technologies at RentalReady, a seasonal rental software. With an average of 51,160 searches per month for all smart home appliances, French homeowners are turning to smart technology. They are fond of gadgets, especially cutting-edge objects, but are these accessories always useful? RentalReady lists the least necessary innovations according to French homeowners.
Intelligent toasters
These objects sometimes pose more problems than homeowners may have thought. They promise evenly toasted bread, but it is very common for the slices to be unevenly toasted.
– Wi-Fi compatible kettles
According to users, kettles connected to Wi-Fi often encounter connection problems, needlessly complicating the task.
– Bluetooth shower heads
These shower heads play musical notes or allow you to make phone calls from your bathtub. These devices seem to work well, but some users find them too intrusive.
– Smart egg trays
These trays inform you of the number of eggs you have left and their freshness, but they are sometimes defective and inefficient or require regular updates, which embarrasses users.
– Voice-controlled curtains
Closing your curtains simply, from your bed, by ordering them to slide, thanks to the sound of your voice, this possibility appeals to more than one user. However, some voice-controlled curtains lack reliability, and users must resort to a manual or remote-controlled alternative.
– Smart forks and spoons
These devices are designed to help the user manage their eating habits, but their real impact on their health is often considered minimal.
– Connected water bottles
These bottles send a signal to the consumer to remind them to hydrate regularly. Their regular reminder is not to everyone’s taste, as users prefer to hydrate according to their desires.
– Smart pet feeders
These feeders allow you to feed your pet automatically. There is no risk of forgetting thanks to them. However, some prove to be faulty, leading to hunger or overfeeding of animals, according to users, who find themselves having to monitor these tools constantly.
– Smart umbrellas
These umbrellas broadcast weather alerts, warning the user of the risk of rain based on their location. Since phones already provide weather information, users consider this accessory unnecessary.
– Wi-Fi connected mattresses
These mattresses offer sleep tracking for the owner and allow you to adjust the bed’s temperature, but they are seen as luxurious and not necessarily essential.
