As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the Internet of Things (IoT) creates an extensive network of devices that regularly exchange data. While this interconnection is happening in businesses and throughout organizations on a global level, it\u2019s also happening in individual homes.<\/div>\n

Here are six smart home tech devices that work together to help a house run more efficiently and should be in everyone\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

1. Smart thermostat<\/h3>\n

Keeping a house consistently at the right temperature not only provides a more comfortable home, but can ultimately save a lot on heating bills. Some\u00a0smart thermostats<\/a>\u00a0can easily be controlled using a smartphone or a computer. These devices detect the temperature in each room and allow the heating or air conditioning to run until the desired temperature is achieved. They also let you program a schedule of temperatures for different days of the week and different hours throughout the day.<\/p>\n

2. Controllable slow cooker<\/h3>\n

Being able to manage meals when you\u2019re away from home is a great way to save time and stay organized. Through smartphone apps, you can adjust the setting on the slow cooker from just about anywhere. You can also adjust temperature and cooking time and check the status of your meal. These\u00a0high-tech slow cookers are not only\u00a0convenient, they\u2019re also\u00a0large capacity and dishwasher safe.<\/p>\n

3. Sleep tracker<\/h3>\n

Getting a good night\u2019s sleep is essential to overall health and productivity, and trackers help you take control of your sleep.\u00a0Trackers<\/a>\u00a0are available as headbands and masks, and smart mattress covers come with a variety of integrated sensors. Rings and wristbands can monitor the duration and stages of sleep. Some more advanced devices even\u00a0track brain waves in real time.<\/p>\n

4. Video monitor<\/h3>\n

Whether it\u2019s watching the kids or pets or for general home security, a video monitor is one smart device every home should have. Indoor monitors include zoom functions, night vision, and two-way audio so you can talk to whomever is in the room. Outdoor models are weatherproof and can be monitored by mobile apps or the web. I especially like the best video doorbells<\/a>\u00a0that let\u00a0you see and talk to anyone who rings your doorbell, even if you are miles away.<\/p>\n

5. Smart body analyzer<\/h3>\n

Smart body analyzers monitor several aspects of your health. For example, small multipurpose devices record blood pressure, EKG, temperature, and oxygen levels from your finger or forehead. More elaborate analyzers delve deep into the body and measure fitness levels through muscles. When placed on areas of your body, these devices use electrical myography to determine the strength of various muscles.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0smart scale\u00a0may be the ultimate IoT device. These scales can determine fat mass, lean mass, and BMI, and they\u2019re wi-fi-connected so they can send detailed information to an online account (and even put your weight on Twitter to keep you motivated!).<\/p>\n

6. Smart home hub<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0home hub\u00a0is where all your\u00a0IoT devices\u00a0come together. It acts as a mission control center, enabling\u00a0all plugs and sensors to\u00a0together seamlessly. Homeowners should invest in a smart hub that effectively meets their individual needs. Home hubs with a variety of features, including voice activation, can be purchased for less than $200.<\/p>\n

Smart home tech devices are the future of our daily lives. The IoT brings them all together into one workable system that provides cutting-edge technology at your fingertips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
