What You Should Know about Creating a Smart Home

Smart technology can give homeowners on-demand access to all the systems in their home, including Wi-Fi, security systems, climate control, and lighting. It can help your Bradenton, Florida, home run more efficiently and keep your family more comfortable. The smart home concept is increasingly becoming convenient and affordable every day. An expert electrician can prepare your home for high-tech devices and install your smart technology correctly. Here are some of the most popular smart home devices.

The Nest Learning Thermostat

Your home uses lots of energy for cooling and heating, and the Nest thermostat helps you lower your power usage. It learns your family’s lifestyle, and homeowners can control settings through Wi-Fi from their smartphone, tablet, or computer. It even lights up when you walk into the same room and sends an alert to your phone if your HVAC system isn’t working properly. Register your address and email to get monthly energy use reports and see how you compare with other people in your city.

Smart Refrigerators

LG and Samsung both offer refrigerators that have a tablet computer built in the door, so you can make notes, track the contents of your fridge, and check the news and weather from your kitchen. Samsung’s Family Hub fridge has a 21.5-inch touchscreen and speakers. That way, you can control all your other smart home technology from your kitchen.

Smart Locks

The Westinghouse RTS-Z smart lock closes automatically and has an optical fingerprint sensor and a keypad for entering a pin code. Up to 1,000 people can save a fingerprint or pin number, so it’s perfect for businesses as well as homes. The outdoor part of the lock is weather resistant, and you can control who enters your home and when, from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
