It’s hard not to make comparisons to the Jetsons when you see all the cool additions that technology upgrades can bring. Some of our most popular New Homes Communities offer full technology packages including home theater installations, smart house systems, and USB outlets. These upgrades help save energy, time, and improve home values. But you don’t have to move into a new house to enjoy the benefits of techie upgrades. There are many options for adding cool, useful technology to your existing home.
Newbeem’s Smart Outlet
Smart indeed. This outlet combines a timer, dimmer, and surge protector into a compact powerhouse. The best thing is that you can set the device with your smartphone – including certain days, times, and settings. It has an instantaneous reaction to lightning strikes and wiring faults. If the surge components are damaged due to power spike or over voltage, excess power cannot reach your equipment.
iGrill 2
What a cool idea, a Bluetooth Smart connected grilling thermometer that allows you to monitor up to four temperatures right from the free iDevices Connected app. This is for the serious griller or smoker with four probe ports, two high temp probes, an illuminated display, magnetic mounting and up to 200 hours of battery life.
The Nest
This is still one of our favorite products! The Nest uses intelligent sensors and software to control the temperature automatically. The Nest also offers state-of-the-art smoke and carbon dioxide detectors. And like the other items you can program it with an app on your smartphone.
