Smart Technology for Enhancing Your Home’s Worth

One way to make your home a more valuable,  attractive,  and or “modern”  place to live is to add smart devices to your home.  While  a total smart home will cost you hundreds of dollars, just adding one or more $100 items might be a good start. I read two  ZDNET articles.  

As the first article suggests:  In these days it’s easy to automate your entire life. You can buy a car that can drive and park itself, a smart watch that can detect if you’ve fallen and call for help, and a robot vacuum that can map out where your home needs to be swept.   And thanks to Smart home set up, you can even automate your lights, and the temperature, and even how you get your news. These articles can tell you  where to start… these articles might give you some ideas:

Smart home products:  there’s something for everyone, no matter what phone one may  have or what voice assistant one may prefer.

Both these articles talk about smart speakers with tons of abilities like playing music, setting reminders, making phone calls,  answering questions and acting as a control hub for other smart devices via voice command capabilities.  The Amazon Echo speaker or the Echo pop or the Echo dot are tech examples.

Video Doorbells: You can add to your home  a video doorbell: they provide insight into who or what is at your door without you ever leaving your couch.   Our top pics for the best video doorbells have HD video and motion detection and connect to a mobile app as well as other smart devices so you can ask Alexa, who’s at the door?  Another way to protect entries of your home is to install a smart lock. Today’s devices use fingerprint technology and customizable key combinations and make it easier to go to Keyless and say goodbye to the day of forgetting your overcrowded keychain.

Smart thermostat: a device that can actually save you money on your electric bills by creating automated schedules.   The best smart thermostats adjust themselves to your climate schedule and offer voice control with Geo fencing technology.

WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE  full article link:  You will find links and information on certain brands and where to buy them… so you can do your own research.

Right now I am struggling getting my new sprinkler system box wifi set up—weak internet signal!
