Video Doorbells

One of the most common smart home devices is the video doorbell. We’ve all seen a viral video from a doorbell camera. But beyond entertainment, they’re fantastic for protecting your property from theft and destruction. They also have many useful functions like a microphone so you can have conversations from the safety of your home.

Smart Lock

Home security is essential and the widespread use of smart locks shows that. Fantastic for convenience and safety, a smart lock is a device that is a must for every smart home. Say goodbye to forgotten keys or the inconvenience of sharing keys. Now you can open and lock your door from anywhere, at any time. They are a part of a larger smart home security system, but as a single edition, they have the biggest impact.

Automated Lights

Lighting is a major statement in 2022, which is why there are many options for smart home lights.

Smart Coffee Makers

The ultimate smart home needs a smart coffee maker. As the drink of choice for many if not most Canadians, we don’t need to explain the luxury of a voice or phone-automated coffee maker. What’s a smart home without luxury? That’s why a fully customizable coffee machine that also self-cleans is an essential smart home device in 2022.

Robot Vacuum & Mop

These two devices are already seen regularly in many homes. A robot vacuum and mop can take care of the floors for you, which takes one of the biggest inconveniences out of cleaning. And best yet, the technology in these devices has greatly improved in recent years. There are many fantastic options to choose from depending on your needs, and you can rely on them to get the job done.

Smart Trash Can

When you’re cooking, you need to limit the number of surfaces you touch. High-contact surfaces collect bacteria, and in the kitchen that causes food safety issues. To combat this, we wash our hands in between touching surfaces and food. That’s why having a smart trash can is an incredible convenience. Having sorted waste that opens and closes with voice commands greatly reduces the number of times you need to touch another surface. This saves your hands from the wear and tear of constant washing, and also increases your food safety!
