Consolidate All Your Apps Into One Integrated System

While we’re not quite living in The Jetsons, smart home technology is already helping people create more helpful, efficient, and beautiful homes. 

Take smart thermostats, which let you schedule heating and cooling to activate precisely when needed. You’ll save energy while keeping your family comfortable through any season. 

Or look at smart LEDs, which allow homeowners to adjust their lightbulbs to any color or brightness level, all with a slide on a smartphone screen. Wirelessly controlled audio, streaming services, soundbars, alarms, surveillance cameras — all these technologies are more intelligent than ever. 

All this advancement comes with just one problem: clutter. By owning various home technologies, you’re left with pages of apps and clusters of remotes just to use your home. Merely dimming the dining room lights becomes a hassle when you need to swipe, find, and open the app —and then wait for it to pair to Bluetooth. 

All this confusion leads some homeowners to declare the smart home “not worth it.” And we entirely agree: the smart home isn’t worth it if you’re doing it wrong. But here’s how to do it right.
