5 Tech-Savvy Home Additions To Impress Your Kids
It's a common assumption that the generations who grew up in the current world of lightning-fast technological change are better adapted to it, while people who can remember a time before everyone had a phone in their pocket are a bit slower on the uptake. While it might be true that younger generations are quick to pick up on and embrace new technology, there is nothing stopping their parents from doing the same. One of the best ways to impress a kid when they come back from college is by outfitting the family home with the latest in "smart home" technologies. These five examples are a quick, easy, and useful way to stay on top of the ever-expanding role of tech in daily life.
Let There Be Light
The simple light bulb is no longer quite so simple. With a smart light bulb, you can remotely turn the lights on or off, brighten or dim the room, even set an automated schedule to make it look like someone is home any time. Simple to install and easy to use, a smart light is a quick way to put power in your pocket.
Safety First
Home security has become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the digital age. From surveillance to coded keypads to video doorbells, the options are endless when it comes to keeping a smart home secure. With remote cameras and security systems, it is easier than ever to keep your home secure no matter where you are.
Turn Up The Heat
Fighting over the thermostat may not entirely be a thing of the past, but at least it will be easier. A smart thermostat is a great way to save time as well as money. With lower operating costs and the ability to both schedule and remotely change climate settings, a smart thermostat will keep the tech-savvy home at the perfect temperature year-round.
Clean With Ease
Keeping a clean and tidy home has never been easier with the plethora of technologies available to automatically take care of chores like sweeping, vacuuming, and even mopping. A variety of robotic assistants are available to keep the smart home looking great with the touch of a button. A staple of the technologically inclined homeowner for years, these devices are only getting more efficient and effective, so the constant battle to keep a spotless home can become a thing of the past.
All In One
The smart home hub is the key to controlling all your other household gadgets. Adding an array of convenient options, from voice control to motion detection to phone integration, no tech household is complete without a hub to bind it all together. These hubs can also act as a personal digital assistant. Music, recipes, weather reports and more are all at the ready with one of these smart home hubs. For the parent looking to show off their tech skills, the hub is the best way to bring all the smart home gadgets together in one convenient package.
