Not only do these systems look more sophisticated than their non-smart counterparts, but they offer more in terms of efficiency and convenience. Better still, they can help you save on heating and cooling costs. Many of these systems even learn your preferences and automatically adjust accordingly.
Smart thermostats also allow remote control of the temperature within your home. It’s as simple as downloading the app.

Ring Doorbells
Ring doorbells are the latest in simple home surveillance. Not only can you see, hear and speak to those at the front door from anywhere, but you can set up real-time notifications on your phone or tablet, customize your motion settings, and detect motion and record video when people come to your door.
