You’ve raised your family in your Delafield home for nearly twenty years. In that time, you’ve created many memories of little toddlers running through the halls to energetic children, and now you’ve got a pair of teenagers. Time has flown by, and as your teens continue to grow, you can’t help but feel like your home hasn’t kept up with the times.
Fortunately, many new technologies are designed to keep up with your changing family dynamics. They are built to add convenience and security to your home, even as your teens push for more independence (and push your buttons). Upgrade your home to fit your family’s needs with smart appliances and devices that will have everyone asking, “How did we live without this?”
A Smart Home Adds Convenience to Your Life
With the beginning of the new school year, you and your family’s mornings have gone from lazy and relaxed to chaotic and rushed. You’re trying to prepare breakfast and coffee for the whole family while you get ready for work. You don’t have a moment to think, let alone chat with your teens. With smart kitchen appliances, you can reduce stress and add valuable time to your day. Even your old coffee machine might be due for an upgrade! Control your kitchen appliances from the palm of your hand, scheduling cooking (or brewing) times. You only have to focus on grabbing your favorite mug and getting out the sugar and creamer—tech can’t do that… yet! 😉
The benefits of smart technology can save you money as well as time. With the house sitting empty while everyone’s away and the seasons changing, there’s no reason to keep your home the same temperature all day.
Smart Thermostats
When you install a smart thermostat in your home, you can adjust the temperature on your phone. Some models even have algorithms that learn your family’s preferences and automatically adjust the temperature! Your family can retire all the dad jokes about being overly protective of the thermostat. In fact, you won’t have to think about the thermostat at all!
Smart Lighting
Make home THE place to be in the evenings with smart lighting. With complete control over brightness and color, one room can be used for many different tasks. Keep the lights bright while your teens do their homework, and dim them when it’s time to relax with the newest binge-worthy show. Your teens can really make their rooms feel like their own with color-changing bulbs, and if they forget to turn them off before they fall asleep, you can turn them off from your phone.
Smart Security Upgrades Create a Secure Home
Everyone in the house has a different schedule between work, school, and extracurricular activities. Adding a smart lock to your home means no one has to worry about lost or forgotten keys and getting locked out. You can lock and unlock doors from the palm of your hand.
You generally trust your kids when they’re left to their own devices while you’re at work or running errands, but that doesn’t mean you stop worrying about them. With smart doorbells, you can keep track of who’s at the door, no matter where you may be. Security systems and cameras can also be installed around your property, many of which are motion-censored, so there is nothing left to worry about.
Smart Sensors
Not only can you make sure you and your family are safe from visible disturbances, but you can track the invisible ones, too, with a smart smoke/CO detector. Alerts are sent to your phone when smoke or Carbon Monoxide are detected. You can have the peace of mind that your family is safe and breathing clean, healthy air.
A Modern Home for a Modern Family
You can’t stop your kids from growing up, but you can make sure they are safe and streamline their routines to maximize your time together before they move out on their own. You and your family deserve to be safe and comfortable in your own home, and that’s what this technology is designed to do.
