accompanying mobile app, too - often. You can create timers so that your lights go on before you get
home at night, or at the same time as your smart coffee machine starts grinding beans. You can simply
add micro modules to existing fixtures if you don’t want to install a whole system.

Thermostats
A smart thermostat can save you a lot of money. They are the foundation of the heating and cooling
arena. Choose a thermostat that can learn as you use it, and you won’t need to spend time

can even just ask for your favourite music to be played in a particular room in the house. Some of these
do work better than others, so make sure you are reading the reviews before making a purchase.
