Smart Thermostat
Although thermostats have been around for ages, it was only a matter of time before we had smart thermostats on the market. You can now increase the comfort of your home while also saving energy with smart thermostats. Most smart thermostats can be controlled from anywhere using your mobile device or other Wi-Fi-enabled gadgets.
LED Downlight
A downlight that does it all is exactly what you need in your home. A smart downlight will allow you to have total lighting control including dimming, tunable color temperature and programming to set a scene or mood. And if that wasn't enough, you can upgrade to a voice control speaker downlight with Alexa Built-In where you can stream your favorite music, and control any smart home device that works with Alexa. These downlights have so much to offer and will be a great solution to create your home ecosystem.
Smart Dimmers
Dimmers are a crucial component of any well-planned lighting plan. A smart dimmer switch allows you to adjust the level of brightness of the lights in any room at any time and can create the ambiance you desire. Most smart dimmers can be controlled directly and remotely when properly paired.
Plug-In Outlets
With a smart plug in outlet you can control your small applications from anywhere. You can manage them individually or as a room with a single button push. Create schedules, scenes and customize your experience as desired. Take it one step further and add an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device to use voice commands like, "Alexa, turn the floor fan on".
Smart Home Monitor
