Thanks to modern technology, you can do so much more with your home gadgets, even controlling them remotely when you are away from home. Tech devices continue to advance to enhance the quality of life or to make your home more comfortable, enjoyable or functional. Here are some home gadgets you might enjoy adding to your home.
Security Cameras
The latest security devices make it easy to view your home even when you’re away. You can easily connect to the internet to monitor your home or even check up on a babysitter. Some of these systems send alerts in an email or text message so that you can quickly log in and make sure everything is okay.
Garage Door Opener
The Chamberlain MyQ opener makes it easy to open and close your garage door. All you have to do is tap on the display screen on your device and the door will adjust. There are plans to include sensors which will be able to tell when you have parked and automatically shut the garage door with no input from you.
Door Lock
KwikSet, the king of home door locks, has developed an electronic lock that actually uses your keys to unlock a house door. You just have to put in a two digit code to prevent access by burglars. An alarm will sound if someone tries to get in without a key or passcode.
Cookware
Now you can even do your cooking when you aren’t home, thanks to Belkin’s WEMO Smart Slow Cooker. You use your smartphone to adjust the cook time, temperature or to send a reminder about what you have cooking. Other appliances, like ovens can be preheated or started from your phone too.
Bed
Sleep Number has been famous for creating a customized sleeping environment by allowing a person to select a number for firmness. Now the Sleep Number IT bed tracks heart rate and other physical factors to help improve sleep. It also connects to thermostats and other smart home and health apps so you can completely customize your sleep environment.
These are just a few of the devices already on the market that utilize technology to improve your life. As new tech gadgets are released, you’ll want to consider how they enhance the quality of life in your home. It’s also important to consider their value as it relates to the resale value of your property.
