Telling your lights to turn on and having them do so is a surefire way to get some dopamine into your system. If you're looking to upgrade your home or moving into a smart one, we're here to help you get started with a few products you're going to want to get. 

Smart lighting

Smart lighting might as well be the official entry product into the smart home line. It is very non-invasive, easy to install, and easy to get your hands on. Whether you control the lighting with your phone or your voice, setting them up correctly will improve your quality of life a little bit and even save you some money on your next electricity bill.

Smart thermostat

Forget having to get up to change the thermostat when the temperature changes. It's not just a matter of not having to get up, smart thermostats can monitor the room's temperature and raise or lower it depending on the time of day. You'll probably forget you even have it once you set it up! If being this comfortable sounds like a thing for you, check out our luxury apartments at Inspire Pensacola.

Smart smoke alarm

This one is a simpler product. It's essentially just a smoke detector with a few extra features. It can connect to your speakers and alert you of any fires while you're home, or send an alert to your phone while you're anywhere in the world. It might sound simple, but it definitely helps you keep peace of mind.

Smart lock

Have you ever come home only to realize you forgot your keys? It doesn't happen often, but you never forget the few times when it does. Smart locks enable you to enter a code and have instant access to your house will forever take that worry off your mind.

If you're just starting, you should consider going with a simpler, more affordable speaker. Even those with assistants can come at very reasonable prices.
