Great Additions for a Truly Smart Home
These days, it seems like every time we turn around, something new has cropped up to make our lives easier. Just imagine how far our computers and phones have come in the past 10 years—and in the next 10, what else will evolve? Already, we have lots of smart devices to make home life easier, and we’re sure to get loads more in the future. For today, at Windows, Walls & More serving West Bloomfield, we’ve put together a list of some of the most popular devices; maybe one is a great solution for you!
Smart Thermostat
Old-school thermostats don’t hold a candle to today’s gadgets. With them, you can set a daily heating and cooling schedule, which can help cut out needless operating times (like when you’re at work or on vacation), which in turn can impact your energy bill. These thermostats can also work with you to automatically adjust for peak times, which can be helpful if you’re on a time-of-use energy plan.
Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Not a lot of people love to vacuum, and even those who do might benefit from a robot vacuum. Many current models have built-in sensors so they can “map” the room to get a full sweep of the space and get all that dirt, pet hair, and debris. Other of today’s models let you schedule “on” times, like while you’re away or asleep. Even better, some models empty themselves, which means you won’t have to lift a finger.
Smart Appliances
More and more smart appliances are coming on the market, including refrigerators, ovens, washers, and dryers. These appliances can simplify tasks through smartphone apps that work remotely. For example, you can preheat the oven or adjust its temperature from afar. And some refrigerators have built-in sensors that can let you know if there’s been a change in temperature or humidity, and some have energy-saver settings that will keep your fridge running at the optimal.
PowerView® Automation
Window coverings are smart these days too! With PowerView Automation, you can program your window fashions raise and lower at certain times, or you can control them remotely, even halfway around the world, which offers the best in convenience, safety, and security. Plus, now you can integrate the system with devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, so you can control the operation by voice command.
