Smart Home Technology & Smart Home Products

A Smart Home can save you time, energy and money by fully automating things like your thermostat, wall outlets, lights and more. These items can be run individually, or through a hub, with many items offering convenient remote app access and even voice control.

What is a Smart Home?

A smart home works for you by helping you interact with your home anywhere, at any time. Imagine all of the devices in your home communicating with each other, turning lights on and thermostat up when you arrive home, seeing who’s at your door from your desk at work or even programming your coffee maker while you’re laying in bed. It’s all possible with a smart home. With a Smart Home, you’ve got 24/7 access to everything that matters including your fire and smoke alarms, security cameras, wall outlets and more. In addition, with products like Google Home and Alexa, you not only have control over your smart home, but you also have the internet at your disposal, all through intuitive voice commands.

How do Smart Devices Work?

Smart devices connect to the internet, automating daily tasks and giving you control over your home from anywhere. Devices like smart outlets and lights allow you to turn them on and off remotely, so you can be sure that you’re saving money and energy while you’re not at home. Google Nest cameras allow you to monitor any area in your home in real-time, notifying you of people at your door, or even deliveries. Smart thermostats like the Google Nest thermostat learn your habits and adjust temperatures based on when you leave and return home. This automates the heating and cooling of your home and saves energy.
