    5 affordable smart home devices that will make your life easy

    In today’s digital age wherein almost everything is automated, there’s no need to wonder why smart device consumers now range from business owners to homeowners.

    In fact, according to Statista, the global smart home market revenue is forecasted to increase up to $40.9 billion by the year 2020.

    While according to the recent Coldwell Banker survey, seventy percent of consumers who already own a smart home device is planning to buy another. In addition to that, even older generations (aged sixty-five and above) now use smart devices at home.

    Fifty percent of generation x and twenty percent of baby boomers own smart home devices with voice control. This only proves that being high-tech isn’t limited to millennials anymore.

    However, whichever generation you belong to, hearing or reading the term ‘smart device’, can probably still make you cringe because it’s almost synonymous with ‘expensive’. The good news is, you shouldn’t feel that way anymore! Instead, you should keep up with the times and try these home devices that won’t break the bank:

    1. Smart lock

    Purchasing and installing a smart door lock will enable you and your family to enter your home (or any room in your home that has one) keyless through code entry, smartphone recognition, fingerprint scanning, or voice commands, depending on the features of the lock.

    By installing the smart lock application, you can also send virtual keys to your family and friends, given that they also have the application on their phones. It also enables you to track who has entered or exited your home. Imagine all that convenience and security only costing you $100 to $300. Awesome right?
