Father’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’ve ever lived under the same roof as Dad (or still do), you’ll know: every dad has his own vibes. Whether he’s the type who fixes everything himself or claims the living room as his personal space, dads make home feel like home. And here’s the fun part! Many of them are already lowkey living the smart home life, even if they don’t call it that yet.

Let’s meet the six types of dads we all know and love, and how smart home devices could quietly become their new favourite thing.

The Fixer Dad

Every home has one: the dad who treats DIY like a full-time job. If something’s broken, he won’t call for help — because “why pay when I can fix?”

He’s never met a problem he can’t solve with cable ties and a trusty drill. Loose cabinet hinge? Settled in 15 minutes. TV remote not working? “Just needs new batteries lah.” He’s the reason we’re not allowed to call a real electrician.

Fixer Dads love their tools, but even the most hands-on dad wouldn’t mind a break. With Smart Switches and Smart Lights, he can automate lighting and control things from his phone without the need to climb the ladders or fiddle with switches. Think of it as an upgrade to his toolbox.

The Chill Dad

This dad operates on a strict peace-and-quiet policy. 

His perfect weekend involves him stretching out on the sofa, kopi o kosong in hand, firmly planted in front of the TV which is 100% his territory.

The good news? Smart homes are made for dads like him. With Smart Curtains that open on schedule and Smart Lighting that adjusts for movie nights, everything becomes just that bit more effortless. One tap, and he’s set.

The Adventurous Dad

This dad doesn’t believe in staying still. He will always be out and about, be it a cycling trip to Coney Island or a last-minute staycation. But while he’s exploring the great outdoors, he still wants to know the home’s secure.

That’s where Smart Door Locks and remote control via app come in. Imagine using a quick tap to unlock the door from his phone and coming home to a pre-cooled room and lights that welcome you in.

The Chef Dad

He might not be a Michelin-star chef, but he sure acts like one. Maggi Mee, leftover rice, two eggs… this man will turn scraps into supper. Just don’t waste food. And don’t ever say no to his cooking. Feeding the family is how he shows love.

Want to make his cooking sessions smoother? Set the mood with Smart Lighting that switches between bright prep mode and cosy dinner mode. He can even use voice control to turn on the fan without touching anything with oily hands. Clean, convenient, and very MasterChef. 

The Tech Dad 

This dad knows all the Wi-Fi passwords by heart. He updates your router firmware “for fun” and can explain the difference between 2.4GHz and 5GHz without blinking.

He’s already watched a dozen videos comparing Smart Home Solutions, and might secretly be more excited about voice automation than any of us.

His version of a good time? Pairing Smart Curtains with his morning alarm, or setting up motion-triggered smart lights in the hallway.

For Tech Dad, a full Smart House setup might just be the dream Father’s Day gift.

The Superhero Dad

He might not wear a cape, but he’s the reason the lights are always off when no one’s in the room. This is the dad who remembers to lock the door, check on grandma, and ask you how your day went  even if he’s had a long one himself. He’s low-key tired but never complains. Somehow, he always shows up.

For Superhero Dad, family comes first. Always.

And smart devices like security cameras or smart sensors? They’re not for show, they’re how he looks after everyone, even when he’s not around. 

His superpower? Being there, even when he isn’t.

So… What’s the Best Gift for Your Dad?

Whether your dad is a fixer, a chiller, an adventurer or your personal in-house IT guy, there’s one thing they all have in common. They all deserve a little more comfort, a little less hassle.
