12 ERA DISTINCTIVE PROPERTIES LUXE CORNER 13 SPRING/SUMMER 2024 THE FUTURE OF LUXURY LIVING: INTEGRATING AI IN HIGH-END HOMES Personalized Service Through Voice Control One of the most convenient applications of AI in luxury homes is the integration of smart voice assistants. Natural language processing allows homeowners to control various systems and appliances throughout the house simply by speaking. Imagine being able to adjust the thermostat, play music, turn lights on or off, or even brew a cup of coffee without lifting a finger. Voice control provides an intuitive, personalized experience that’s almost conversational. AI assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home can learn users' preferences and habits over time. As the system becomes familiar with your routines, it can eventually perform tasks automatically based on your usual schedule. The ability to customize settings through vocal commands delivers next-level convenience that elevates upscale living. Intuitive Smart Home Automation for Upscale Homes AI-powered smart home automation takes voice commands even further by centralizing control of lighting, temperature, window treatments and security features. AI-powered home automation hubs allow homeowners to set scenes, schedules and rules throughout the house. For example, you could program window shades to rise at sunrise or have the hot tub heated up just in time for when you arrive home from a long workday. Luxury residences are also beginning to implement adaptive lighting systems connected to circadian rhythm apps. Based on your sleep cycles and daily activities, lighting in various rooms automatically adjusts not only brightness, but also color temperature to promote health, productivity and relaxation. Automated climate control similarly creates the perfect environment tailored to homeowners' needs; however distinct they may be. Immersive Home Entertainment Entertainment systems are growing increasingly advanced in high-tech luxury homes. AI is powering innovations like contextual multi-room audio, which allows music playback to follow you from room to room based on occupancy detection. Likewise, smart TVs can resume playback of a show right where you left off in a different room. Voice-controlled media libraries simplify searching for content, and natural language processing lets you make requests like “play jazz from the 1960s.” AI even enables virtual reality integration in luxury home theaters, allowing users to be fully immersed in VR games and simulations. Smart home technology delivers entertainment experiences that are uniquely personalized yet conveniently accessible throughout the residence. Next-Level Security Features Safety and security are top priorities for luxury homeowners, and AI is improving protection through features like facial recognition and intelligent video monitoring. Smart doorbell cameras can identify familiar faces, so family and friends can come and go with ease while unknown visitors prompt an alert. Inside, motion sensors determine normal patterns of occupancy and activity to detect any suspicious deviations. Video feeds are analyzed in real-time rather than simply recorded, enabling AI security systems to distinguish between a pet and an intruder – or even recognize if someone falls or is in distress. With machine learning, the sensitivity and accuracy of these features will only improve as the AI system empowers itself with more and more information.
