With today’s modern, wireless technology every home can be a smart home if you choose. Installing smart tech in your Northern Colorado home doesn’t require as much effort these days—no wires, no problems, right? Here are 5 smart home appliances to consider installing when you remodel (or whenever you want!) that will improve your overall comfort and accessibility.
Want to optimize your heating and cooling? Looking for an easy way to keep energy bills low, even when you’re away? Consider installing a smart thermostat in your home—like the Nest or the EcoBee. How does it work? Well, the Nest’s Wi-Fi-enabled learning thermostat is designed to optimize the temperature in your home to keep comfort levels consistent. It learns and adapts to your own personal habits and preferences—for example, it will learn that you like to turn down the heat when you go to work and will begin to do so automatically.
Looking for peace of mind in a new neighborhood? Smart doorbells are a great investment as many now come equipped with video surveillance functionality to help you see who’s knocking. Nest, the makers of the smart thermostat, have also gotten into the business of designing smart doorbells—like the Nest Hello.
Want to automate your home for easier access or voice control? That’s as easy as purchasing an Amazon Echo or Google Home. For example, the Google Home Hub is compatible with over 5,000 smart devices to connect everything in one location and make your home voice activated.
