Upgrade to a Smart Home

A smart home is equipped with lighting, heating, and electronic devices that can be controlled remotely by phone or computer.

Many major companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple sell devices and software to turn your home into a Smart Home. PCMag provides a good introduction.

Here are some ways to get started:

• A smart thermostat like Google Nest
