Smart home

Out of all of the things that have happened since we moved from a quiet cul-de-sac with neighbours to a 12-acre farm, having break-in after break-in has been the worst. Possessions can be replaced but when you lose the sense of security you have in your home? That’s really hard to get back. Thankfully we discovered Arlo smart home security, and I sleep better at night because of those cameras. Here’s my take on Arlo and how we use it on our property.

I have always thought smart home gadgets are a bit gimmicky, until I broke down and installed a few. I am now a convert as they are not only practical but so convenient they can actually improve your quality of life. For instance, I have a keyless lock in my home so I never worry about carrying around keys that I can lose. If I have friends or family that arrive when I am not there, I can let them in remotely until I show up. It’s great!   HUE is Philips line of smart home products that is all about lighting that can be controlled using your Smartphone or tablet. It brings the Internet of Things to reality and there are so many excellent ways to use HUE lighting products. Let’s explore just a few to give you an idea how they can improve life at home.
