Homeowners: Make Your Life Easier With This Tech

Buying a home is a smart investment. Incorporating smart home tech into your new home enhances the value and comfort of that investment. Our REALTORS® keep a keen eye on the future of smart technology and highly recommend the following features and systems that will make maintaining, protecting, and enjoying your home a little bit easier.

• Smart Lighting Lights Up Your Life
  Smart lighting is easy to install and can significantly improve both security and comfort. Smart lighting systems allow you to control everything from brightness to color. This lets you set the mood for special occasions and improve the illumination outside your home to make it easier for guests to find their way around during an evening gathering.

• Securing Your Home is a Smart Idea
  Naturally, smart security systems are high on the wish list of homebuyers. Smart doorbells, HD camera systems, intrusion alarms, garage door openers, and other devices can be installed and controlled from wherever you are in the world. This makes it easy to turn the lights on/off, see who is approaching the door, and open the door for children and expected guests without having to hand out a bevy of keys and passcodes.

• The World of Tomorrow is Today!
  As always, comfort is a top priority of homeowners and previously futuristic technologies are available for homeowners to enjoy today. Smart vacuum and mop systems make it easy to keep your home clean. Simply program the robot vacuum or mop, and let it do the dirty work for you. You can even program a pet cam to tell you when Fido gets up on the couch while you're away.
  
  And, if you like to entertain guests, then smart speakers are another "must-have" inclusion in your smart home network. Top tech manufacturers have developed AI assistants and numerous devices that make it easy to enjoy your favorite music, movies, and more throughout the home. They also make it easy to control your security system, thermostat, lights, entertainment systems, and more.

• It's Cool to Save Money
  Speaking of comfort, smart thermostats are an inexpensive, cost-effective investment that will help you save money year after year. Homeowners that install smart thermostats in their Mansfield or Ashland homes for sale recoup the investment in less than a season. Smart thermostats give you total control over your HVAC system, which enhances your comfort and reduces your monthly utility expenditures. Further, when coupled with smart air purifiers and humidifiers/dehumidifiers, you will enjoy superior indoor air quality and a better night's rest than you've ever known.

Building Your Smart Home Network

The possibilities and potential of smart home systems are growing exponentially month after month. Consider meeting with a smart home advisor to help you navigate your options and select devices that work together within the same ecosystem. In turn, this will make it easier to control, and grow your smart home network as new devices and technologies become available in the future. In particular, it will ensure your home's wiring and WiFi are capable of supporting all the stereos, lights, cameras, vacuums, and other devices that make modern life more convenient.
