It's not just the Millennials and Gen Ys that desire a home with smart home technology that keeps them secure and connected, but even the Baby Boomer generation looks for more convenience in their lives and they know how to use it! Smart Home technology can make your home more memorable and it will stand out from the other homes for sale!
Connecting devices to your smart phone can save energy, money, and time. There are four categories of smart devices:
Utilities - Thermostat, light bulbs, sprinkler, electrical outlet, ceiling fan, stove, washer and dryer, powered window shades, etc.
Safety - Wireless key entry, doorbell, garage door, outdoor lighting, etc.
Security - Burglar alarm, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector, or any sensor that triggers a call for emergency assistance.
Audio / Visual - Personal assistant such as Alexa or Siri, TVs, music, etc.
Getting started with Smart Home technology costs less today than even a year ago. It's now more affordable than ever. You can go to the big box home improvement stores such as Lowe's or Home Depot to find a variety of compatible devices. If you have already invested into Amazon's Alexa series, they also sell a plethora of compatible devices. My personal favorite is the garage door opener. It keeps your home safer from theft than ever before.
With today’s technology available to consumers, it can be pretty easy and inexpensive to get started. Setting your home up with Smart Home devices can be a great marketing tool, and make your home memorable, without too much out of pocket.
