In Nairobi’s Spring Valley, a developer has built smart homes that are ideal in the post-Covid future. In these homes, there is no need to keep touching nobs of appliances, cutting out the possibility of transferring the coronavirus and germs from one location to another or hiring a security officer to man the gate.
Bonke Omwayi, the managing director of Step-Villas Real Estate Consultants, a developer of smart homes in Kenya says the houses are similar to conventional homes only that they have some added digital features which make them more convenient to live in as one can shut windows, doors, and gates remotely using a smart device.
