Top 5 to make your home smart

Home automation or smart home is thriving in the world of technology. Here are the top 5 products that are perfect if you want to give a product that makes your home smart as a Christmas gift.

1-An electrical outlet that makes all your devices smart

We don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to make our devices smart. A simple Geeni smart plug priced between $25 and $40 can easily do the job.

Connect your devices to Geeni plugs to make them smart.

Simply plug the device into a socket, recognize it in the app and start voice control of our assistant Amazon Alexa, Google Home or even Microsoft Cortana.

For example, we can plug in a lamp, label the socket: Light, and then ask our assistant: “Turn on the light.” And there was light!

If you don't have a voice assistant, no problem, as you can also activate the plugs using your smartphone.

Control all your systems with the Sinopé Smart Controller.

3- Open and close your curtains without getting up

How about allowing yourself to wake up peacefully to sunlight, while your curtains automatically open at the time you programmed them? This is one of the capabilities offered by the MySmartBlinds Smart Mini Drive.

You don't even need to buy new blinds, you just need to add a small solar-powered motor to do the work.

Not only can we control it with our phone or even by voice via Alexa or Google, but we can also set time periods and even the maximum temperature we want in our room so that the curtains will open or close automatically.
