What's This?

Remember when your lamp could be activated by two claps of your hands? “Clap on! Clap off! The Clapper.” It’s laughable to think that 30 years ago, this was considered some pretty high-tech gadgetry.

Today, we incorporate technology into just about every aspect of our lives. Automated homes have appliances that do the thinking for us, and we can control it all from our smartphones, tablets and computers. It seems that every day a new, high-tech gadget is released that enables us to live easier, more convenient lives. Read on for what’s new in home automation:

Home Security

It’s that moment you’re at the airport, about to leave for vacation, and you can’t remember if you turned off the lights in the house. No worries. There are fully automated home security systems that enable you to monitor and control your home through your smartphone, tablet or other mobile device. It’s the best way to keep your home safe and secure while home or away, according to SecurityCompanies.com.

Heating and Cooling

As energy bills continue to rise, homeowners are looking for ways to maximize the efficiency of their heating and cooling systems while still keeping their homes comfortable. Smart thermostats enable you to do just that, and they even go one step further: smart thermostats like the Nest and Nest 2G actually learn and understand your temperature-setting behaviors and adjust your settings accordingly. It makes heating and cooling sound like fun.

Cleaning

Vacuuming used to be a chore that everyone dreaded. It was time-consuming and tiring, and it always seemed like it needed to be done. Enter the iRobot Roomba, which Mashable calls one of the hottest gadgets for tech-savvy homes today. This device is a command center for home vacuuming; users can schedule house cleanings on the device and control it from any part of the house.

Child Safety

Smart baby monitors not only show video of what’s going on in your baby’s nursery, but they also enable you to two-way talk to your baby and monitor the room’s temperature. Even their original purpose from decades ago—to be alerted when there’s noise in the nursery—is performed with more sophistication.

Holidays

Christmas costs enough money as it is, and having a high electric bill because of all of your holiday lights is just an extra burden you don’t need. Earth Tech Products offers solar holiday lights that let you to deck out your house for the holidays without breaking the bank.
