With multiple home technology brands to choose from, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung Smart Things, Apple, and many others, finding a new tech that fits your living style is an easy task.
 
This technology can be as basic as installing a switch and plug receptacles that would allow you to control lights either vocally through your “hub” (e.g. Alexa, or installed home technology) or through your personal device anywhere you can connect to wifi. Another tech upgrade could include indulging in a programmable thermostat, which can lower your monthly utility costs and keep your home at the just-right temperature any time of year.
 
This tech can give a classic a twist communicative doorbells allow you to talk to the person outside your house without ever having to leave the room. Motion activate device cameras can alert you of any movement, too, so you’re not missing a beat when it comes to knowing who visits.
