Best Smart Home Technology

Impressive and convenient, smart home devices are here to stay!

You can use smart devices to grill chicken on your barbecue, turn the lights off before you go to bed or in the living room while you’re watching a movie.

Did you know, you can also vacuum your floors and increase your home security with some of these cool devices?

Here are some of my favourite smart home devices and technologies that not only will make life easier for you but will also impress your family and friends!

Phillips Hue Lightbulbs
The Philips Hue bulbs allow you to control both intensities of light. You can dim or brighten on-command and change the colour of your lights.

Who would have thought that your light bulbs could “energize” a room or sync it with your music! You can also set colour-coordinated alarms, ensuring you wake up every morning to a bright pink bedroom.

If you're not into rainbow colours, you can opt-in to a white only hue.

Char-Broil Digital Electric Smoker with SmartChef Technology
If you love grilling you're going to love this one!

Does this sound familiar? You're walking in and out of the house to check on your meat, hoping the temperature is hot enough but won’t burn your dinner?

This tool alerts you on your smart device when the temperature of your grill preheats and what the internal meat temperature is. It also informs you when your meat or fish is fully cooked.

The 725 square-inch cooking space and four internal chrome racks allow you to grill for both large and small meals.

If you ever wanted a house cleaning assistant, you're going to love the Ecovacs Deebot N79S.

Any device that can vacuum my floor for me is my new best friend!

It integrates with smart home systems and other compatible apps. It also offers a manual steering option and cleans surfaces very well, according to customer reviews.

Amazon's Alexa can make every aspect of your smart home easy to control. You can use Alexa to speak to music apps to play a song or look up the weather. You can also ask her to turn off the lights.

Most smart products integrate seamlessly with Alexa, including products made by Philips, Samsung, Nest, and Schlage. That means Alexa can now close your garage, lock your doors, and adjust your home’s temperature.
