Smart locks are an amazing way to modernize your abode right at the doorway. These locks can replace or complement your existing door locks and can even work with home hubs like the Alexa which we mentioned above. A smart lock can tell you if your door is locked, so that will end panic attacks on the train or at work, when you are wondering if you actually locked it. What’s more, if you left it unlocked – smart locks can be remotely unlocked and locked by you so when your friends are at the door, you don’t have to be at home to let them in.

The smart hubs like Nest are a great way to take control of your energy bills, where you can control your house temperature from afar. To really take some control, you should consider a smart energy meter that can track your usage of gas and electricity – you’ll know your peak hours and when you can cut down on the heat, and you’ll pay for exactly what you use.

 

There are plenty of Bluetooth speakers on the market and if you splash the cash, you can dot these around the interior and exterior of your home and link them to a central hub that can blast your tunes around your house. Great for a chill-out and even better for parties.
