Recently, as technology is developing rapidly and making our lives easier, it is being spread to all areas of our life. One such area that has become a trend for technology advancements is the home. Here are some ways to turn your lake home into a smart home:
Entry Security
New gadgets for your home access makes it easier than ever to gain entry to your home. These new smart locks can have different ways to verify your identity, from a door lock that reads and recognizes finger prints to ones that grant access using bluetooth on your smartphone.
Cooling and heating
House cooling and heating accounts for a great part of energy consumption to keep everyone comfortable. New smart thermostats can implement a technology that will give you the ability to control and monitor energy usage and temperature settings with a simple app on your phone.
It will learn your family’s lifestyle and daily routine- when members leave and when they come back. It can also be controlled remotely with your phone. Turn the air conditioner on 20 minutes before coming home and you will have a cool welcome without wasting energy cooling an empty house.
