With just the touch of a button from their smartphones or tablets, savvy consumers can remain in control of everything – from opening their garage doors before they get home to turning on their crock pots from their desks at work.
Here are some of the hottest products we’ve found that can enhance your home and keep you on the cutting-edge of smart technology:
Ecobee3 Smart Thermostat
This sleek thermostat ranks as one of the top Wi-Fi smart thermostats of 2016 for its ability to sense that every room in a house is being heated and cooled perfectly. Remote sensors are placed in each room to monitor the temperature and can even sense when someone is in the room. The Ecobee3 is compatible with Apple’s HomeKit and the Amazon Echo (just to name a few), and its mobile app has been tested and reviewed to work flawlessly.
MyQ Garage Door Opener
The MyQ Garage Door Opener from Chamberlain® allows Apple and Android smartphone users to open and close their garage doors via the free app. And the best part is that the MyQ works with all name-brand garage door openers that use bottom-mounted safety reversing sensors. Users can connect to their homes from virtually anywhere, offering peace of mind and convenience – especially on those days when you’re not sure if you closed your garage door.
