This smart device will give you voice commands as well as the emergency warnings if it detects smoke and carbon monoxide in your home. If you burned your toast (nothing serious), and Nest Protect detected it, you can turn off warning with a wave of a hand – so cool! You can also control through the app on your iOS or Android device and on the web.
Image from NestThe Nest Thermostat learns your habits and uses that data to save you more than 10% a year on your energy bills. For example, you leave home at 7 AM and come home at 4 PM, Nest begins to learn that habit and turn down your heat (or air conditioning) while you’re away. It will also raise the temperature so it’s comfortable when you return. You are free to control the temperature from your phone, too.
You can link the thermostat with Nest Protect as well. If your smoke alarm starts to detect smoke from a fire, Nest will automatically shut off your heating systems, so it does not make things worse. Nest Thermostat is also compatible with the Amazon Echo and Google Home.
Image from RingThis doorbell records for about 30 secs and is activated in one of three ways: by pressing the ring button, sensing motion, or pressing “live view” from your phone. It stores this video to a Ring Cloud using a good WiFi connection to the device. All of these devices can hear and speak to the doorbell when activated. It will even pick up night images from near total darkness too—something that’s super useful and reassuring for a homeowner. While the doorbell has had some scrutiny in the news lately, homeowners seem to love the security it provides.
