Stay Organized and Connected Starting on Jan 1 with Smart Home Calendars

Screenshot-2024-01-23-at-12.25.01-PM

Each year comes and goes so quickly, yet the length of it never changes. "Can you believe it's already . . . " Maybe our lives are just busier. That busyness can be stressful but also fulfilling. Between the two, it will depend on how we manage the busyness.

Corralling that activity with smart home technology in the 21st century can be easier than in years past. Today, it's possible to say, "Hey Alexa, please add lime juice for fajitas to my shopping list," just like that, it's in the calendar/reminders display projecting onto the mudroom wall.

Straightforward Features and Benefits of Smart Home Calendars

  • Any place with a screen and an internet connection shows you everything in your family’s schedule
  • Lots of adaptability features
  • HDTV-sized projections of the family’s schedule on any wall 
  • Android, iOS, and even Microsoft 365 calendar sync is available

Smart Home Calendars Help Keep the Family Organized

Keeping a homeful of people organized is hard. Smart home calendars are becoming a must-have tool for busy families. A smart calendar is a shared webpage or shared app for families. Members can add individual events, how long the events last, location, etc. 

Let's not kid ourselves; you or your spouse will be the ones entering your kids' schedules into the family calendar. ("You sent 104 texts yesterday, but you couldn't add your make-up exam after school to the calendar!?") But at least it will be in one place. And you'll be able to access it anywhere you have an internet connection.

Share events and create a digital calendar display that helps keep track of what is next. (And then, what's after that.) There's even an option for private events you want to keep secret, like that surprise birthday party or certain doctor appointments.

The Top Digital Wall Calendar Options 

When it comes to choosing a digital wall calendar, there are options. Mango Display is available on iOS and Android. This means it works with both Apple and Google Calendars. It even works with Microsoft 365. DAKboard is another popular choice. These can create a digital wall calendar experience, seamlessly integrating with online calendar services.

These allow for shared calendars, ensuring every family member is on the same page. With features like chore charts and meal planning, the daily journey of family life now has a map and a guide. Even workplaces and schools are getting in on the meal planning and related displays.

Transform Your Wall into an Interactive Calendar Display

DAKboard is more than just a calendar app; it's a digital photo frame, a hearth display, and a smart home mini-hub. The smart TV might not have the game on, but the game is on, as it were. It offers features like sleep mode and early access to new functionalities, making it a worthwhile investment for family organizations.

Synchronize and Share Schedules Across Devices 

DAKboard's integration options are perfect for families who use multiple devices. And that's virtually everyone: there are twice as many mobile devices as people on the planet. It allows you to edit events, add to-do lists, and even integrate with smart TVs, making it a central hub for all family activities.

That sounds like a lot. But Evolve Technologies' in-home specialists will break down everything step-by-step and answer any questions you have. We're always there to answer further questions even after we sweep up the last bit of dust on the project.

The Benefits of Having a Family Calendar in Your Smart Home Setup

The most significant benefit of having a smart home schedule is that the special anniversary vacation is locked in in advance. Every time your husband walks past the display in the mudroom, he gets a reminder not to schedule anything. Plus, the kiddos can remember when Grandma and Grandpa are coming for the weekend, so their friends' sleepovers will have to wait.

Whether it's for keeping track of custom lists, calendar events, to-do lists, or just staying on the benefit of being psychologically ready, these calendars ensure that everyone knows what's happening and when.
