Technology is everywhere, including at home.

In recent years, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. With the rise of smart devices, we can now control our homes with just a few taps on our mobile devices. From connected lighting to streaming media, technology has made our lives more convenient and efficient. In this blog post, we will explore the increase in technology in our homes, including smart devices like connected lighting, streaming media, and wireless accessories.

Connected Lighting

Connected lighting is one of the most popular smart devices in the market today. With the help of a smart hub, we can control our lights with our voice or mobile devices. Connected lighting allows us to set the mood in our homes, change the color of our lights, and even turn them on and off automatically. It's not just about convenience; it can also help us save energy and reduce our electricity bills. Many smart lighting systems allow for timed on and off settings - to allow you to reduce dependence on mechanical timers.

Streaming Media

Streaming media has revolutionized the way we consume entertainment. We no longer have to rely on cable TV or physical media to watch our favorite shows or movies. With streaming media devices like Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire Stick, we can access hundreds of streaming services, including Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+. We can watch our favorite shows and movies anytime, anywhere, without any commercial interruptions.

Wireless Devices

From speakers, to light switches, to smart barbecue grills - connected devices have expanded into new segments of business in ways that we could never have imagined. Some of these inventions can definitely be seen as improvements - saving us time and expense from rewiring your home, so you can have a light switch turn a specific outlet on and off. Some of them don't make a lot of sense from the outside - like a "smart" refrigerator - but once you take a look at some of the concepts that they enable, like voice-activated shopping lists (via Alexa, as an example) - you can see the benefit of being able to look through your fridge while reading off the items that you need to get on your next grocery order. In many cases, wireless devices have made our lives more convenient and comfortable.

Technology has become an essential part of our lives, and it's not going away anytime soon. With smart devices like connected lighting, streaming media, and wireless accessories, we can make our homes more efficient, convenient, and comfortable. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovations that will make our lives easier and more enjoyable.
