Smart phones are making it easier and easier to complete
everyday tasks, from checking the weather to making airline reservations. Our
mobile devices are even simplifying how we approach real estate and run our
households. Buying a home in Boston, making a mortgage payment, and organizing a
closet can all be done on the go with the help of a smartphone. Now, a
homeowner can even interact with his or her home using their smartphone as a
remote control.
Up until recently, automating your home came at a price –
and a costly one at that. Luckily, technology advances so quickly that what was
once out of reach for a typical homeowner is now within reason at a fraction of
the cost. Regardless of the budget you’ve established to boost your home’s tech
IQ, there’s a feature you can implement to make life at home more efficient
than ever.
Wouldn’t it be nice to turn on the air conditioning or crank
up the heat a few degrees 20 minutes before you get home from work? Now, you
can! Wasting money on heating or cooling an empty house is a problem of the
past once you can remotely control your home’s thermostat with Nest.
Never worry about locking yourself out ever again. With
August Smart Lock, your front door automatically unlocks when you (and your
smartphone) approach. Hosting a dinner party? Send an invitation to your
friends through August Smart Lock and the door will automatically unlock when
they arrive at your home.
The Phillips Hue lighting system allows you to be in control
of your home’s ambient lighting with a tap of your finger. Open the app on your
smartphone to tell the lights to change color, and turn on or off at certain
times of day. Forget to turn a light off before you left for work? Flip the
switch remotely and save on your energy bill.
There are dozens of other products on the market that allow you to control your home from afar. Whether you’re down the street or across the country, your smart phone gives you the power to keep a finger on your home’s pulse at any given moment. If all of these advanced gadgets have you thinking about buying a home in Boston this fall, please reach out to me. I’d be honored to be the Boston real estate agent to help you find your first or next home!
