As The Sun Goes Down, Affordable Home Smarts Add Safety, Warmth And Convenience This Winter
As we’ve seen just in the last few days, the end of daylight savings now means returning home from work in darkness, while the onset of cooler weather will also have us looking at ways to stay warm, comfortable and safe this winter.
Hopefully this also makes it a great time of year to revisit the many benefits that smart home technology can have on people’s lives, with our client CONNECT SmartHome enabling a wide range of options all without breaking the bank.
Owned by Australian company LASER Corp with more than 30 years of experience in delivering affordable technology, CONNECT SmartHome has an extensive range – everything from smart lighting to smart plugs, IR remotes and much more. It means consumers can get a wide range of Smart Home products from just $10, making an effective $100 smart home more possible now than ever before.
From being able to turn on lights around your home as you come home at night, to pre-heating your electric blanket or automatically controlling your heater or television, there are many cost-effective smart home options that can make a quick but important impact on the safety, warmth, comfort and convenience of Australians this winter.
Further, the ability to automate schedules and control your lighting and appliances remotely also means more control over your energy use. The latest Power Plugs from CONNECT feature power monitoring so you can see how much energy your appliances are using, making an investment in smart home products good for your hip pocket too.
