smart garlands
The first thing we can do is replace the old lights with which we decorate the tree with smart garlands. Like classic Christmas lights, these feature all kinds of color combinations and music. The novelty is in the intelligent options that they integrate, how to synchronize the flashing of the lights to the rhythm of the music that is playing, their control through voice assistants such as Alexa and Google Assistant, the possibility of programming their on and off or calibrate the brightness through the mobile application.

Other options
A good option to illuminate the decoration of our house at Christmas are the smart led candles. Its flame-shaped design will transport us to the warm and cozy atmosphere so typical of these dates. By having advanced technology we can program them to turn on and off from the remote. It also controls the lighting, making the flame more or less dim, thus maintaining the magic of the fire thanks to the flame effect of the LED light. Also, and perhaps one of the most important things about smart candles, you will prevent a fire from starting or spilling wax on the tablecloth. Without a doubt, one of the best alternatives to conventional candles!
Another option to automate the Christmas decoration in your home is to use smart plugs. These devices will save you the cost of investing in smart lights or different technological devices, since you will be able to continue using the lights you had from other years, but you will add the smart touch by programming their on and off remotely.
In addition to turning the Christmas lights on and off, if you have a voice assistant you can also use it to create a playlist that automatically adapts to the time of day: Christmas carols in the morning and a livelier list at night. And for the little ones in the house to stay entertained at those Christmas dinners… you can’t miss a 3D Santa Claus lamp that you can control from a mobile application.
As you have seen, the options for home decoration to dance to the rhythm of home automation this Christmas are quite extensive. The only thing you have to think about is the budget and put the artificial intelligence to work.
