Turning your home into a smart home can help it stand out from the competition. Millennials and Gen Ys are the largest groups wanting a home with smart home technology that keeps them secure and connected. Baby Boomers also look for more convenience in their lives and they surely know how to use it!
Connecting devices to your smart phone can save energy, money, and time. There are four categories of smart devices:
Utilities - Thermostat, light bulbs, sprinkler, electrical outlet, ceiling fan, stove, washer and dryer, powered window shades, etc.
Safety - Wireless key entry, doorbell, garage door, outdoor lighting, etc.
Security - Burglar alarm, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector, or any sensor that triggers a call for emergency assistance.
Audio / Visual - Personal assistant such as Alexa or Siri, TVs, music, etc.
With today’s technology available to consumers, it can be pretty easy and inexpensive to get started. Go to the big box home improvement stores, such as Home Depot or Lowe's, for a large variety of compatible devices that can help you stay safe and add convenience to your life. If you are invested in the Alexa series, Amazon has a plethora of devices at affordable prices. Setting your home up with Smart Home devices can be a great marketing tool, and make your home memorable, without too much out of pocket.
