SMARTEN UP WITH THESE SMALL HIGH-TECH UPGRADES THAT WILL MAKE YOUR HOME LOOK BETTER AND WORK SMARTER.

Keep an eye out

A good security system will help to keep your home safe and secure. The good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune on a full-fledged setup – all you need is a smart surveillance camera to monitor everything at home. The mydlink Smart Full HD Wi-Fi Camera packs plenty of advanced features into its compact body, including AI smart motion detection and wireless encryption for enhanced privacy. What’s more, you can even link it to your existing smart home devices to keep you connected at all times. Works great as a pet or nanny cam if you ask us!

Make the switch

Fancy controlling your lights with the touch of a button? Switch out your plain bulbs for smart lighting like the crowd-favourite Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance LightStrip, which allows you to adjust brightness, change colours (choose from 16 million colours and 15,000 shades of white!), and more via an app, or with just your voice. Add these snazzy light strips wherever you'd like, be it under kitchen cabinets, around bed frames, or behind your TV. Plus, it’s easy to set up; just pair it up with a voice assistant, and let it do the rest. Need more light coverage? Easily snap a Philips Hue light strip extension to your base kit, and enjoy full colour consistency from start to finish.

Pull the plug

Got a power outlet? Stick a smart plug in it. These nifty little adaptors turn any electrical outlet into a smart socket, allowing you to control, manage and monitor any device straight from your smartphone. The TP-Link KP115 Kasa Smart WiFi Plug is a great contender, especially with its Energy Monitoring feature that provides an overview of your connected devices' real-time energy consumption. Pair this data with the smart plug's Schedule and Timer functions to reduce unnecessary energy usage and lower your electric bills. For even more convenience, pair your smart plug with Alexa, Google Assistant or Samsung SmartThings to enjoy hands-free voice control.

Ditch your keys

If you’re not a fan of the traditional deadbolt, digital locks are a keyless solution that will automatically lock and unlock your door in an instant. Touted as the world's first push-pull digital lock, the Samsung SHP-DP728, is a versatile gadget to start with as it offers advanced unlock authentication methods like Bluetooth, fingerprint, RFID card and passcode unlock options. There’s also an activity log that you can view through an app so you can easily keep track of who comes in and out. How convenient is that?

One-stop solution

If you’ve got a myriad of gadgets, you might want to consider investing in a smart automation system to keep your setup running smoothly. A smart hub serves as the main command centre of your entire smart home ecosystem, giving you seamless control over all your devices. Samsung SmartThings works with everything from lights to air-conditioners and refrigerators under the range of the SmartThings-compatible device, all in real-time via the app. A perfect addition to your home if you’re looking for a fuss-free solution that does it all!
