You can turn your home into a Smart Home fast!

Smart Home technology can help your home stand apart from the other homes on the market. Millennials and Gen Ys may be the largest groups desiring a home with smart home technology to keep them secure and connected, but they aren't the only group! Even Baby Boomers want more convenience in their lives and, guess what, they know how to use it! Afterall, this is the generation that invented 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:

1. Utilities - Thermostat, light bulbs, sprinkler, electrical outlet, ceiling fan, stove, washer and dryer, powered window shades, etc.

2. Safety - Wireless key entry, doorbell, garage door, outdoor lighting, etc.

3. Security - Burglar alarm, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector, or any sensor that triggers a call for emergency assistance.

4. Audio / Visual - Personal assistant such as Alexa or Siri, TVs, music, etc.

Its doesn't have to cost much to get started with Smart Home technology. You may have already invested in the Alexa or Siri devices. Even the big box home improvement stores such as Lowes and Home Depot have a plethora of smart home devices that are compatible with Alexa and at a reasonable price. Amazon sells a lot of compatible devices as well. My favorite is the garage door opener! You will have to check that one out.

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.
