Security Systems & Lawn Displays

When walking up to a smart home that past generations couldn’t even imagine, you’ll likely be seen before you see anyone. Smart security systems and doorbell cameras are the first smart tech you’ll be greeted with.

  • The Google Nest: This smart system is the going favorite for doorbell cameras. It allows you to greet anyone who rings it from your phone, no matter if you’re home or not!
  • Ring Alarm Pro: If you want your family to feel safe and secure, the Ring alarm systems allow you professional level coverage but with DIY set-up.
  • Govee Lights: Okay, these lights won’t protect your home or make your day easier. But they will allow you to create and control gorgeous holiday displays that will have your ring alerts going off all day while folks stop outside to watch them sparkle.

Kitchen & Living Room Tech

New innovations in kitchen and living room technology have unlocked a whole new level of comfort and relaxation at home. Why even go out to dinner and dancing when you’ve got everything you need at home?

  • Anova Precision Oven: Airfryers once broke the internet with their combination features and ease of use, but this countertop oven puts any airfryer to shame. It allows at-home chefs to steam, bake, airfry, sous vide, dehydrate, proof, broil, roast, toast, reheat, and defrost. It’s every appliance in one!
  • Café Specialty Grind & Brew Coffee Maker: This coffee maker creates fully custom brews while connecting with your Wi-Fi and Alexa for full convenience.
  • Sonos Immersive Speakers: Remember when I said you could have dinner and dancing at home? These immersive smart speakers from Sonos will make you feel like you’re in a jazz lounge, or maybe even a night club – whatever your flavor!

Upgrading the Bedroom & Bathroom

For our final stop on the Smart Home tour, we’re upgrading the bedroom and bathroom with tech you probably never thought would exist.

  • 360 i8 Smart Bed: Not only does this bed allow for temperature regulation and custom firmness setting, it tracks your movements while sleeping and adjusts to keep you waking up rested.
  • Byecold Smart Mirror: The Byecold Smart Mirror allows you to check the weather, control lighting warmth, play music, and defog the mirror after a shower!
