Want to upgrade your WFH set-up? EE has done the research for you

People say you should work smarter, not harder and that's also the case when it comes to our homes. Smart tech can transform your home, making simple tasks easier and ultimately fun to interact with. So whether you're working from home or just wanting a better space to come home to, there's a simple upgrade for you.

Technology can find its way into just about any item you can think of in the home, but there are certain areas where it really shines. Lighting, heating and security are all essentials for your home but with smart versions in place, they can do so much more.

Let there be light

Smart lighting is one of the simplest and most effective uses of technology in the home. The application goes far beyond just turning the lights on and off without touching the switch. Connected lights can be controlled remotely or set to turn on and off based on a routine, a sensor or simply when the sun goes down. This makes them not just handy for when you get home, but also to make it look like you're home when you're not.

Some models allow you to change the warmth, brightness and colour of the lights too. This means that you can adjust them to suit your mood, or even the season. You can even sync the lights to music or your TV, to provide a more immersive experience when watching a film or playing a game.
