How a Smart Home Improves Your Everyday Life

Imagine waking up to your blinds slowly rising in your bedroom. You step out of bed to a perfectly-temperate room, self-adjusting based on outdoor weather conditions and time of day. You walk into your living room without lifting a single shade or flipping any switch - yet your home is perfectly lit up for your morning to begin! Alexa is playing your favorite “Good morning” playlist and your TV turns on The Today Show for the newest updates and headlines.

At work, your phone alerts you mid-morning of an important delivery on your doorstep, so you notify your spouse to swing by the house on their lunch break to bring it in. Your porch doorbell notifies you real-time when they do just that, and you breathe a sigh of relief at your desk.

That afternoon, your teen arrives home from the school bus, only to realize she’d left her house key in her locker that day. She texts you frantically during a meeting, and you’re able to calm her down as you remotely unlock the front door - all without your boss knowing anything was wrong. Your daughter’s grateful, and you remind her of the “No TV until homework’s done” rule. She’s smart, knowing you can check in on her anytime you’re away via your in-home cameras. You do to verify she is indeed completing her schoolwork as instructed.

Once you arrive home from a long day, you cook dinner and sit down to a lovely meal. You issue a simple command to your smart devices to set mode to “Dinner time” - and experience the simple luxury of auto-dimmed lighting, privacy shades drawn, and your “Dinner Party” playlist floating in the air at the perfect volume to ensure lively conversation.

As bedtime approaches, your smart thermostat auto-adjusts the temperature to a cool 72*, locks all doors/windows, and shuts down all lights and media throughout your home (much to your teen’s dismay!). From the intercom system, you pipe into her room and let her know you love her and that she has a dentist appointment after school the next day.

All in a day’s work. Imagine how we can simplify your family’s every day life with these same technologies!
