The Manazuru House, a detached house in Manazuru -cho, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a project that proposes a new way of living in three companies, YKK AP, World Housing Club, Living Tech Association, and three companies.It is the latest smart home in which the latest home appliances such as smart speakers, smart lighting, and robot vacuum cleaners, including indoor design that match the new lifestyle, can operate various home appliances.

I actually asked them to try these four smart appliances at home.What kind of changes did the smart home appliances have to live in their lives?
"The house time is even richer with a smart home appliance that blends into the interior full of greenery."
Uchiyama's home.Houseplants are accented by interior!
Green interior is impressive in the living room of a bright Uchiyama family, where there is plenty of sunlight through a large window.Modern rooms with rattan furniture are casually displayed, and the green is naturally blended throughout the room.
"Because the sunshine is good, plants are growing well and the number of plants is increasing rapidly. Mimosa flowers are blooming at the entrance, so they are picked and decorated."
Junko Uchiyama, who lives with her husband Tadayuki and her daughter in a detached house in the suburbs.She is where her four smart home appliances are hiding.
Two smart home appliances are naturally blended into houseplants!
Along with the foliage plants on the rattan furniture, I found the smart speaker "Amazon Echo Dot 4th generation" (black) and the smart remote control "EREMOTE5" (white)!Among the unique plants with white veins, inorganic smart home appliances are mysteriously familiar.
"It may be nice to be able to hide cables in the basket. I tried a lot about where to put it, but as soon as I returned from the entrance and opened the door, it is easy to talk to.I calmed down. "
The Uchiyama family uses a smart speaker to be used like a handyman in everyday life, such as being taught the day of garbage and the time on the bus timetable.
"It's convenient to tell you a little bit of such a little thing, whether today is a burning garbage day or a resource garbage day.
When my husband came back, I said to a smart speaker, "Alexa, I'm now," and when I set it to say a little joke, my husband liked it (laughs).After returning home, she began to talk to Alexa immediately. "
When you open the door of the entrance of the living room, you will find a smart speaker on your left.
Mr. Uchiyama has loved interiors since he was young, and finished it with his own hands, referring to the Instagram of overseas rooms.
"The display on the wall is hung a rattan round tray with a magnet hook.
Mr. Uchiyama's house has many ideas to comfortably spend the house time increased due to corona.When playing a game, one of the hobbies, the kotatsu is a fixed position.Therefore, we are using smart speakers, smart lighting, and additional smart home appliance remote controls.
The lantern is "Philips Hue".Electricity is turned on with voice.
"Philips Hue" is attached to the living room lighting so that it can be operated by voice using a smart speaker.
"I'm looking forward to playing games in a kotatsu. When the dog is sitting in a chair and playing a game, when the dog is on the knee and cannot move," Alexa, TV! "It's really nice to be done with it.
It's nice to be able to change the brightness and color of the lighting.At night, the light leaked through the gaps in the rattan, but when it hits the wall or ceiling, the atmosphere comes out again due to the shadow of light and shadow. "
The Uchiyama family's smart home is a very natural form that combines a wonderful interior.
"I couldn't use it unless the version of the speaker and lighting app was updated, so I tried and errored at first. I tried to set up various things and learned a lot.
I thought that I couldn't use it, but actually touching the hurdles, and it was concrete to what would be like if I incorporated it into my life.
In fact, there are many things you can't understand unless you try it in your life.I felt that smart home appliances were in trouble once they enjoyed their convenience. "
Uchiyama says that living has become more convenient through smart home, but he says he feels another thing.
"Thanks to smart speakers, conversations with husbands and daughters have increased. Like on the daily life, it may be convenient to ask Alexa."There was a conversation that wasn't there. The conversation has increased, and the more family members have increased. I want to find various uses. "
In the future, he wants to put "Amazon Echo" with a screen in the kitchen to see the recipe when cooking with his daughter.
"I was born in the morning when I was just scolding the children."
"Look, don't change clothes soon. Eat breakfast early! I brushed my teeth!?"
The morning of the Fukudome family in the middle of raising children, Aoi -chan, a nursery school child, who works together and goes to elementary school.
The Fukudome family introduced smart home appliances in the living room
"I left Alexa what I was saying to the children every morning. If I set time, changed my clothes, brushed my teeth, and informed the morning routine, the children would act quickly.It became so easy in the morning. "
The smart speaker has become a "busy morning help man" for Keiko.
"When the time is approaching, it gets frustrated and angry, but Alexa says in a flat tone (laughs), so it may be heard in the children's ears.hey"
In the Fukudome family, the smart speaker is located at the counter that separates the kitchen and the living room.It is a place that is easy to talk to during cooking.

Naoki, her husband, has recently announced a "call to return" from his work with a smart speaker.
"When I returned from work, I had been LINE, but I came to know my smart speaker with a voice," I'm going to go home now. "I can't do it, so I think this is good. "
When the children come back from school,
"Welcome back, how were your school today? Let's do our homework well."
A call to my son returning from school, "Let's do homework" through smart speakers.
"It's interesting to be able to do 99 and quiz. When I'm playing the game, I'm saying" Alexa, turn on electricity. "The eldest son Yorito -kun smiles.
Lights with "Alexa, turn on electricity!"
Bright lighting and smart speakers have also brighter family meals!
"Philips Hue" gently illuminates the family when playing games in the living room and doing homework."I bought the same lighting as the monitor and attached it to the living room," said Naoki.
By linking with a smart speaker, you can also change the voice, smartphone app lighting, lighting and brightness without going on/off to the switch on the wall.
Dad, moms, and children are the Fukudome family who realizes the convenience of smart home appliances, but there are new discoveries that the number of conversations has increased during the meals to eat.
"Alexa is like a member of a family, and when I have something I don't know during a meal, I asked," What is Alexa, what is it? "], The conversation is excited. They are not eating rice, but the meals have become more fun. I think it's a tool that creates a fun air. "(Naoki).
The body of the smart remote control is on the TV stand and casually placed beside the character "Suemo -kun" that children love.
The "Smart Home Appliance Remote Concon", which can aggregate various home appliances, has also been able to set air conditioners.
"I could not set the timer with a genuine remote control, but I can now set the air conditioner on and off using a smart home appliance remote control. Set the air conditioner timer in the drying position and dehumidify.It is convenient because it can be dried, "says Keiko.
"Each function may be a little bit, but when stacked, its convenience is something you can't let go.
I would also recommend it to friends raising children.It would be nice if there were more places where you can experience smart home and smart home appliances. "
