Just add separate features and fixtures to your home making it smart and more valuable. Note that, all smart home features are fully customizable. This will increase your home value as well as give you a chance to live in a conventional house. Now the number and functionality of smart features are rapidly growing.

1.Smart Thermostat

2.Keyless door locks

3.Smart smoke detectors

4.Smart refrigerator and other appliances

Besides obvious use by the general population, smart home technology provides some new benefits for the boomer generation of people living alone and with a little help from kids living far away. A smart home technology could potentially notify home residents when it’s time to take medicine, send text alert the hospital if a home resident falls and also track many other older home resident needs. Using smart technology, adult children who live in other states or even internationally will be able to help their aging parents with many tasks. Advanced and easy to use automated smart systems would provide similar benefits to those with disabilities or a limited range of movement.
