Turning your home into a Smart Home can make your home stand out from the other homes being sold. The Millennials and Gen Ys may be the largest groups wanting a home with smart home technology but even Baby Boomers look for more convenience in their lives and they know how to use it! Remember, it is this generation that built computers as we know them today!
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.
Smart Home technology doesn't even have to cost much. If you have the Alexa series from Amazon, you can find a plethora of devices that will make your life more convenient and safe. The big box home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowes carry a lot of compatible devices and controllers as well.
With today’s technology available to consumers, it can be pretty easy and inexpensive to get started. 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.
