Have you been considering making your home a smart home? I have been thinking about it for a while now and I finally did it! I can’t tell you how excited I am and how much more convenient making my home smart has been.
4 Products To Start Making Your Home a Smart Home
Here are four products to start making your home a smart home! We have all four of these products and they have not only made life more convenient but more fun and exciting for everyone.
Google Home
Google Home has saved me time and just made life a little easier. With the right setup, you can have cooling systems, multimedia devices, lighting, heating, music, speakers, and more all working together as an integrated unit.
Before everything can work together, you’ll need a hug, like Google Home! This is what I have been using, and I absolutely love it. Google Home is a voice activated smart speaker that is controlled by your new Google Assistant. You can use your Google Home device for all sorts of awesome things like playing music, relay information, flight information, time, answering questions and more. So far my Google Home device works with my Nest Learning Thermostat, Google Chromecast device, and Phillips Hue lighting.
Google Home + Chromecast
With Google Home + Chromecast you can play videos on your TV using your Chromecast device and voice commands. It’s awesome when I want to sit down and catch up on a show, or power watch Sons of Anarchy all I have to say is “Okay Google, Play Sons of Anarchy on Netflix, ” and it starts off right where I ended. Super awesome!
Google Home + Nest
Google Home + Nest is one of my favorites because I no longer have to get up and fiddle with the temperatures! Thanks to Google Home + Nest all I have to do is use voice commands and say something like “turn the temperatures to 79 degrees, ” and BAM Google Home + Nest takes care of everything.
Google Home + Phillips Hue
Google Home + Phillips Hue is yet another great combo! Now we can dim, change the color, play music (with voice activated speaker) and more. I have to admit, changing the color of the lighting during a movie is awesome!
There are several other great products you can add to your smart home! Another one of my favorites is the smart locks! Something to check out the next time you visit your local Best Buy or BestBuy.com.
