Five Smart Home Technologies to Elevate Your Home in 2019

With technology continuing to be a growing presence in every aspect of life, the home is no exception. While popular smart home technologies such as Alexa, Google Home, Echo Dot and Apple HomePod provide users with an array of high-tech functions such as playing music and accessing information from the internet, smart home technology today has advanced even further and presents homeowners with a versatile selection of new systems including smart thermostats, light bulbs, plugs, locks and doorbells that offer a new level of intelligence to the everyday home. Read on to discover the latest smart devices in home technology that will elevate your home in the new year.

    Some call this gadget the “best little device on the market”, and for good reason. The Nest thermostat automatically adapts as the seasons change and learns your preferred temperatures throughout the day. In just one week from installation, Nest’s temperature settings will acclimatize according to your preferences – cool at night as you hop into bed and a warm 72 degrees in the morning before your cup of joe. When you rush off to work, Nest uses your phone’s location to determine if you’ve left and enters eco mode, saving energy and reducing bills by up to 15 percent.

  2. TecBillion Home Security Lightbulb:

    Seeming to be ahead of its time, the TecBillion lightbulb home security camera with Wi-Fi includes a built in 360-degree view camera complete with clear night vision and motion detection.
