Are you looking to make your life easier or more interesting? A smart home allows you to control appliances, thermostats, lights, and other devices using your smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected devices. Here are 5 smart home systems that can potentially save you time and money.

1. Smart Thermostat
   A smart thermostat allows you to schedule your desired temperature settings. Some smart thermostats can learn your heating and cooling preferences and automatically adjust accordingly. The best smart thermostats have diagnostic features that can detect problems with your ducting or HVAC system.
2. Video Doorbell
   A video doorbell is a smart security device that allows you to see, talk to, and record people who come to your doorsteps, like the FedEx driver dropping off your precious Amazon packages or an un-expected guest. You will also receive notifications when people come to your property, even if they don't ring the doorbell. This device can give you peace of mind whether you are home or away.
3. Smart Speaker
   A smart speaker is a type of speaker that can be controlled with your voice. It has an integrated 'virtual assistant' that can answer questions, perform various automated tasks, play music and control other compatible smart devices in your home with just the sound of your voice!
4. Smart Door Lock
   A smart door lock is a smart home device that allows users to leave your house keys behind, locking and unlocking doors with a simple voice command or tap of a finger. Smart door locks even permit remote access, so you can let in a guest while you are away from home.
5. Smart Lights
   Smart lights allow you to control the lights in your home remotely. Motion detector smart lights ensure that flipping a light switch is a thing of the past. Almost all smart lights use LED bulbs which are highly efficient and use much less energy than traditional incandescent lighting.
