Shifting the gears of smart home automation towards security featured image

As our homes become more digitized, smart home gadgets have grown in popularity. These devices extend beyond your smart speaker or voice assistant and aren’t just for entertainment. They can also offer security and save you money depending on their functionality.


Indoors: Enjoy savings & convenience

A great way to save money and illuminate your home more efficiently is to use smart lights. Smart light bulbs are usually simple to install and can be programmed to turn off and on during specific intervals. 

Automatic turn off helps to reduce unnecessary energy usage, which can save you money, and they can be integrated with popular home automation systems for easy and effortless control. 


Outdoors: Secure entrance & perimeter

In addition to lighting, other smart home devices can aid in the safety and security of your space even when you’re not there. Many smart home brands offer packages to connect your security camera, smart speakers and smart locks. 

If unusual activity is detected, you can receive a quick notification via an app on your phone, no matter where you are. To add to this convenience, many smart devices operate via voice control, making them even more simple to use. 

When putting together your smart home system, consider your needs and your budget. Don't put your safety and savings to the test. Smart home devices are worth the investment and can save you money and hardship down the road. If you’re curious about the best smart home devices, consider speaking with a representative at your local home improvement store.

“I am currently a longtime resident of over 30 years in Marlborough, MA, but mainly grew up in Hudson MA. Later, I had the opportunity to live in various towns in and around the Middlesex County area (Acton, Bolton, Framingham, Hopkinton,) as well as in the Netherlands, Europe. Bringing understanding, insight, and strategy on the home sale marketing and sale process is critical. With over 30 years of experience, I have helped hundreds of homeowners get their home sold for the very best price and terms with the least inconvenience, with skill, caring, and a marketing plan tailored to their needs and their home! My buyer clients benefit from the same 30 years plus of experience of positioning their offers to meet with success in getting accepted, which has resulted in many happy home buyers.
