3 Smart Devices You Can’t Live Without

Smart technology has been around for a few years, but it’s only now transitioning from a gimmick into something genuinely valuable. Before, you could buy devices for your home that claimed to be smart, but they didn’t really change your life or make that much of a difference. 

Now, we have so many smart devices that you genuinely can’t live without. As well as adding something unique to your home, the following smart technologies will transform your daily life:

Smart thermostat

Every household needs one of these! 

A smart thermostat can connect to your heating system, giving you full control over everything. You can see exactly how much energy you’re using while controlling the thermostat from a mobile app. It lets you turn the temperature down or automatically set a timer for it to go on whenever you like. You can also check to see if you left the heating on when you’re out of the house, turning it off and saving money. 

There are so many possibilities, but installing a smart thermostat is proven to help you save money on your energy bills

Smart lightbulbs and sockets

I’ve grouped two items into one as they are basically the same thing. Smart lightbulbs are bulbs you can control from a mobile device. Therefore, you can turn them off from outside the home, eliminating cases when you leave a light on all day by mistake. You can also tweak the brightness of each bulb, letting you conserve energy. 

Smart sockets or plugs are things you plug into your wall and then plug other devices into. As a result, you now have control over these devices. You could plug your TV into this socket and turn it on or off whenever you like. Again, it gives you control over your electrical devices, so you never leave anything on and can operate things from a distance. 

Energy can be saved, but it’s also just highly convenient. In theory, you could turn a kettle on from upstairs, so it heats water ready for you when you get down in the morning! If you are going to install either of these smart devices, be sure to search for a licensed electrician near me – licensed being the keyword, so you know they are capable of carrying out the task without cutting corners. 

Smart doorbells

Lastly, a smart doorbell will make your life so convenient. Once more, it connects to an app where you can do so many things. These doorbells often have microphones and cameras, so you can see who is at your door and talk to them via your smartphone. It means you can communicate where to put parcels if you’re not at home, and it’s a very simple way of tightening security. 

No longer will you answer the door to someone trying to sell something – just use your app to see through the camera and decide if you want to answer the door or not. The camera also lets you see who’s been hanging around your house all day, so you can spot suspicious activity and report it to the police. 

Overall, these three smart devices are essential in modern homes. They give your home something special, but they also make life so much easier and can help you save a lot of money.
