Make Your Home A Smart Home
Add smart LED bulbs to lamps and light sockets. Make forgetting to turn off your lights a thing of the past. Easily control lighting from your smart devices to power lights on and off, dim them or program timers to avoid paying to light an empty room.
Smart appliances can give you peace of mind. Feed your dog from your car, start the dishwasher from the office or check to see how much time is left until your clothes are dry. Set your smart appliances to receive helpful alerts that can detect or prevent problems. Some companies also have customer service centers that are able to connect to your appliances remotely to troubleshoot issues and determine the need for a technician or offer a solution you can do to help fix it yourself.
Smart home security serves as an extra pair of eyes. Never miss who came to your front door ever again. Help stay safe and protected with doorbell cameras and CCTV surveillance systems, so you can “see” who is paying you a visit from your mobile devices, whether you’re at home or away.
Get some assistance from additional smart devices. Complete your smart home setup with a virtual assistant. These home automation devices function in many ways, with the ability to grant the homeowner even more control. Connect your lighting, HVAC and smart appliances, plus enjoy listening to music, all with the sound of your voice.
Choosing devices. When choosing your smart devices, be sure they meet the strict energy efficiency specifications of the EPA or the U.S. Department of Energy and they can provide significant energy savings. The Energy Guide Label on appliances will also help you determine which smart appliances offer the best value based on your energy usage and operational costs.Once you decide to go smart, get familiar with each product. Learn how to control each device and understand features such as automation, setting alerts and enabling them to communicate with your utility provider to maximize capabilities. Be sure to keep everything updated to help maintain the smoothness of operation as products change and improve.
The Bottom Line. The main idea of having a smart home is to help improve energy efficiency, save money and make life easier – almost like having a remote control for everything. On top of these benefits, smart devices add value to your home when you're looking to sell!
