Creating a New Routine

Our lives are made up of routines and habits. We perform deliberate actions in a specific order or automated behaviors that occur almost unconsciously. In 2025, we expect artificial intelligence to play a significant role in fulfilling, enhancing, and aligning these everyday tasks with healthier, more life-affirming choices. 

Have you decided that 2025 is the year to start your morning with movement? A smart home starts your day with the shades rising, letting in the first morning light. It’s already set the home gym to a toasty 90°F and pulled up the hot yoga session on the TV. The soft lighting mirrors the rising sun in shades of blue-violet and amber-red.

You lay in bed, thinking how cozy the comforter feels. In 10 minutes, the whole-home audio system streams your motivational playlist through your home, reminding you it’s either one day or day one—the decision is yours. 

Once you’ve finished your workout, you head to the heated spa, where outdoor landscape speakers deliver breathtaking music as an added inspiration to your day. 

Life with Your Own Personal Assistant

Josh.ai entered the smart home sphere several years ago as a voice assistant with artificial intelligence. Designed specifically for smart homes, Josh continues to evolve, effortlessly learning and performing the routine actions of the day. It’s learned that when you turn on a movie in the media room, you also lower the shades and turn the lights down. Now, it automatically performs this sequence of events. 

When having a dinner party, your personal assistant creates the ideal environment. Just tell Josh you’re entertaining, and it sets the lights in the dining room to golden candlelight, the bathrooms illuminate in shades of arctic blue, and the living room lights highlight your fine art, architectural elements, and furnishings in colors and varying hues of white that bring out their best features. 

The whole-home audio system streams crystal-clear, detailed music throughout your home and outdoor areas, creating a backdrop of sound that can leave you breathless. 

Josh is so brilliant it knows every color in Lutron’s Ketra advanced LED lighting system. When you tell it you’d like the lights in the living room to change to aubergine, it knows you mean a dark purple color resembling eggplant.

A Safer, Securer Home

Smart home automation lets you access your home remotely from a mobile device. Look at live video from security cameras, make sure the doors are locked, and turn on the interior and landscape lights when you’re getting home later than expected. 

In 2025, your security system is also getting smarter. Advanced AI features enable it to differentiate everyday activity from the unusual. It sends you a push notification when something out of the ordinary occurs, such as an unknown vehicle pulling into the driveway or someone peering into your garage. You won’t receive an alert when the housekeeper or gardener arrives, ensuring no false alarms and never-ending notifications when the wind blows or the neighborhood raccoon wanders onto your property. 

Some people frown on New Year’s resolutions, believing they’re setting themselves up for failure. Others see 2025 as a blank slate, a year filled with possibilities and an opportunity to do better than the last. If you fall within the latter, now may be the best time to consider embracing smart home automation and its benefits.
