Six modish smart home devices that make everyday life at home more convenient

Smooth entry

Consider installing a smart lock if you’re looking into updating your door’s simple lock-and-key system. Whether it’s a retrofit model that incorporates your old padlock or an entirely key-free one, you’ll enjoy its nifty features such as Bluetooth access, a built-in keypad, and a fingerprint scanner. Ultimately, you will be able to control who enters your house and what kind of access they have via the accompanying smartphone app, giving you a remote overview of people’s movements wherever you are.

Hands-free tunes

Whether you’re cooking up a storm or bathing the dog, smart speakers let you switch songs at the drop of a hat via voice command – this means no more frantically dropping whatever you’re doing mid-way to tap on your mobile device’s screen manually. They also help you get shuteye easier by playing sleeping tips aloud and calming ambient sounds via Google Assistant and Alexa.
