FINANCIAL News!

’m sure you’ve heard this expression sometime throughout your life, mostly in the context that you might as well spend “it all” before you die, because “you can’t take it with you.” A few hundred years ago, people were either burned after death or buried with a couple coins placed over their eyes to pay the boatman for the journey across the River Styx to the next dimension or destination, Hell, Hades or the place where people believed they would go in the after-life. For those poor souls who couldn’t pay, the boatman would either not take them or drop them at a location exclusively for paupers, not a pretty or desirable place in the minds

“You Can’t Take It With You!” By Mark E. Charnet

of the times. Those who could pay or pay with a tip, the trip would be much longer down the river to a more enchanted setting, or so they believed. Bottom line: A better life or afterlife costs a lot of money! Which leads me to the topic of this edition’s column, Legacy Planning. Think about this exercise for a moment, one I have thought about and have espoused for many years. Take your Android, I-Phone or Tablet with you one day and head to the cemetery you normally visit; at random, grab a name off any headstone and enter it into a Google search to research that individual’s life. In virtually every case, as you will find, the results will yield nothing. For a few,

you may find their obituary or that they held a political office, was a volunteer for a charity, a president of a company, a criminal perhaps or maybe an inventor of something. However, for the vast majority of names, the search will reveal absolutely nothing, meaning the only legacy they left behind on this earth was a filled up septic tank! Sorry to say it, but, that is the majority of evidence that most people leave behind after 70 or so years of life. I hope this fact is motivating for you to “do something special or different” before you depart the planet so that Google finds a reason to record the evidence and proof that you even existed and that you played a role in the ad-

vancement of your community, religious affiliation, family, occupation or an even bigger goal, a legacy benefiting humanity! If your goals aren’t that lofty, I know there is something that you can do to enrich the lives of the people you care the most about, you know, the people with your same last name. Financially speaking for a moment, my father, was proud to tell me that his son was financially better-off than he was. That he was better-off than his father and his father was better-off than his father before him. He was proud of my financial accomplishments and the journey I took to get here. Alas, I’m afraid that as a generation, I believe my children and their peers, will have far less opportunity to continue the pattern of son, financially out achieving the father. I believe that my generation, yes I am a Baby Boomer, born in 1961, will be the last generation where our children will financially undoubtedly and overwhelmingly supersede their parents. And you know what, it’s our kids that will need the most amount of capital to survive, more so than the previous two generations before them. Of course, this is my opinion and there will be and are exceptions to my generalizations, however, I do firmly believe that I am correct and the federal government’s

statistics back me up. The biggest one is that 52% of Americans don’t pay income tax, a figure never reached by prior generations, thank goodness. No, You Can’t Take it With You, but, You Can Leave it Behind AND MUCH MORE and it’s vital that you do! Our kids will need our financial help after we’re gone and the more kids we have, the more help they will need since they will receive less than 100% of your estate. What legacy do you wish to leave your children? If you can help them, shouldn’t you do so? Especially if it’s affordable and without reducing your lifestyle in anyway? Wealth Management and Legacy Planning is not only a privilege, it is a necessity today. The wise use and final disposition of your money is of paramount importance. In my opinion, everyone should have a relationship with a competent financial advisor, a financial architect if you will, to advise on the construction, maintenance and distribution of your portfolio when you and your spouse no longer need it. Don’t have one of those in your life or you’re not confident with the one you do have, why not give me a call for a second opinion? Your beneficiaries will thank you. Together we can construct a lifetime income plan for you and

your spouse, simultaneously instituting a Legacy Plan that will enrich the lives of your family, possibly for generations. Mark E. Charnet, CAS, is President and Founder of American Prosperity Group.

Some people question what is management and how is it different than leadership? Management is sometimes defined as doing things right and leadership is said to be “Doing the Right Thing.” How about doing the right thing and at the same time making good business decisions?

Human Food Dangerous To Pets

any pet parents do their best to ensure optimal health for their companion animals. Veterinary visits, exercise and diet play an integral role in pet health. Pet owners tend to be very selective when choosing commercial pet foods, but sometimes they’re less discerning when they offer scraps of their own food to pets. It can be hard to resist the pleading eyes of a pet looking for a handout from the dinner table. While it is generally fine to offer a tidbit here and there, even

small amounts of certain foods can cause illness or even death, and pet owners are encouraged to familiarize themselves with foods

that may be hazardous to pets. Some foods people eat can be toxic or even lethal to pets. Avocado, for exam-

ple, contains persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs, according to the Gateway Animal Hospital. Birds and rodents are also sensitive to avocado poisoning. Grapes and raisins are other seemingly healthy foods that can be harmful to pets. The toxin inside of these fruits is unknown, but grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure. Cyanide is present in the seeds/pits of plums, pears and peaches, making these fruits potentially hazardous as well. The ASPCA lists coffee,

591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ

caffeinated products and chocolate as dangerous for pets as well. These items contain substances called methylxanthines that, when ingested by companion animals, can cause vomiting, panting, hyperactivity, tremors, and seizures. Dark chocolate is more dangerous than milk chocolate. Baking chocolate is the most toxic kind of chocolate to dogs. Foods and products artificially sweetened by xylitol will cause insulin release in many species, and this can lead to liver failure. Keep pets away from

chewing gum, candy and toothpaste. Common herbs like onions, chives and garlic can cause gastrointestinal irritation and may lead to red blood cell damage. Cats are more susceptible than dogs to these foods, but each species can be affected negatively. Dog owners have frequently offered animal bones as a treat. However, these bones may harbor bacteria that can cause gascontinued on page 12

climates or in elevated altitudes may lose more water than those who do not. In addition, water loss is accelerated during strenuous exercise, highlighting the emphasis men and women must place on drinking enough water during their workouts. But water does more for the body than prevent dehydration. The following are a handful of lesser known ways that water benefits the body. • Water can help people maintain healthy weights.

their caloric intake in an effort to maintain healthy weights. Water has zero calories, so reaching for a bottle or glass of water instead of a soda, lemonade or another caloric beverage can help people keep the pounds off. A study from researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center found that even diet soda enhances weight gain by as much as 41 percent. In addition, soda has been linked to conditions such as obesity, diabetes and tooth decay. No such association exists with water. • Water helps to fight fatigue. The fatigue-fighting properties of water are another of its lesser known benefits. When the body is not adequately hydrated, it can experience muscle soreness. And fitness enthusiasts who do not drink enough water may notice their bodies require extensive recovery time after working out. Each of those consequences can be prevented by drinking enough

water, and doing so can even improve performance, as studies have shown that just a 3 percent loss of body weight due to dehydration can cause as much as a 10 percent drop in performance level. • Water can improve the appearance of the skin. Skin that does not get enough water can turn dry and flaky and feel tight. In addition, dry skin is more likely to wrinkle than adequately hydrated skin. Getting water to the skin can be tricky, as the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health notes that water will reach all the other organs of the body before it reaches the skin. But the school recommends applying a hydrating moisturizer within two minutes of leaving the bath or shower and drinking at least eight glasses of water a day to ensure the skin is getting enough water. • Water helps the gastrointestinal tract.

help maintain normal bowel function. When the body lacks sufficient fluid, the colon will pull water from stools in an effort to stay hydrated. That can lead to constipation, a condition in which people experience difficulty emptying their bowels. By drinking enough water, people can ensure their colon will not have to pull water from stools to stay hydrated, thereby helping them stay regular. Water helps the body in myriad ways, many of which might surprise people unaware of just how valuable water can be to the body.

or one reason or another, you’ve determined the house you’re living in has become too much to handle. Seniors, empty nesters or those moving from a suburban home into a loft or apartment in the city all face similar challenges when it comes to downsizing. For example, after Judy Raphael’s husband was diagnosed with dementia and moved to a nursing home, it became difficult for her to take care of her large house the couple had lived in for 23 years. At first, Raphael tried to maintain the house by herself, but things started to pile up and soon the house was in need of serious repairs. “There were a lot of unknowns on what was wrong in the house – from mildew and mold to the driveway that needed to be replaced,

the list goes on,” Raphael said. When it comes to downsizing your living space, you can start preparing with these steps. 1. Determine what’s next. Think about what type of lifestyle you want to live moving forward, but take into account how much space you’ll actually need to accommodate that life. Whether it’s a smaller house or alternate option like an apartment or townhome, the first step is to decide what you’re looking for in your next living space. This can also help you figure out what items will move with you and what will need to be sold, donated, thrown away or left behind. 2. Assess what you actually need. Now that you’ve determined that downsizing is your best option, you’ll

4 Steps For Downsizing need to figure out what size, space and things you need. Maybe there’s a pile of stuff collecting dust in your attic or basement that can be sold or donated, or maybe you believe you can move all of your belongings into a more compact area. Either way, a downsize means going through storage spaces, closets and room in your home to determine what stays behind and what goes with you. 3. Sell your home. Raphael knew she needed to fix the house before it would be considered sellable, but knew she could not manage it alone. After seeing a television commercial for HomeVestors, she decided to give them a call to schedule a free consultation with a local independently owned and operated franchise. Over the course of the

seven-month sales process, Raphael not only accepted an offer on her home from Aaron Katz of WinWin Properties, but the unexpected happened: Raphael’s mother passed away. Katz not only promised to let Raphael and her daughter tour the home after it was renovated, but he was also the first to stop by with flowers after her mother’s passing. An option such as HomeVestors, the largest professional house buying franchise in the nation with more than 65,000 houses bought since 1996, offers cash payments and quick closing, which can be helpful in the downsizing process. In many cases, homes can also be sold as-is with no repairs and with unwanted contents still inside. 4. Stay organized during the move. You’ve now spent a ton of time and ener-

gy going through old things and boxing up possessions for the big move – don’t let that time go to waste by allowing your organization to fall apart on move-in day. Make sure you store items

in places that make sense, going room-by-room in an organized fashion. Learn more about the resources available when downsizing at homevestors. com.

Low-calorie Foods That Still Fill You Up

unger can be a difficult hurdle to clear for people looking to lose weight. While nutritious foods don’t lack for taste, many people adapting to new diets featuring healthy, low-calorie foods find themselves still hungry after meals, making it difficult for them to stay the course and reach their weight-loss goals. Some low-calorie foods may contribute to hunger pangs, but there are many foods that satisfy hunger despite their low calorie count. Baked potatoes: Potatoes might be high in car-

bohydrates, but they also are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants that can boost the immune system. Baked potatoes also provide a powerful punch of potassium, which can help men and women better control their blood pressure. That’s especially beneficial to overweight or obese men and women who are already dealing with high blood pressure. Baked potatoes also can make men and women feel full, which should help low-calorie devotees avoid overeating. Eggs: The reputation of eggs tends to change every few years, and much of that

can no doubt be attributed to misinformation about this low-calorie breakfast staple. Eggs are a great source of complete protein, and that protein contributes to feelings of fullness. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, eggs contain all nine essential amino acids that, upon being digested, release hormones that suppress appetite. Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is another excellent and low-calorie source of protein, offering roughly twice as much protein as regular yogurt. Greek yogurt also is an excellent

The soluble fiber in oatmeal can also decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which is often referred to as “bad cholesterol.” Apples: Apples are another low-calorie source of soluble fiber, and apples also are a good source of vitamin C, which can boost the immune system. But apples are more than just a low-calorie food that contributes to feelings of full-

ness. Finnish researchers who studied dietary data of more than 9,200 men and women found that those who ate apples frequently had lower risk of stroke than those who did not eat apples. That could be attributable to the effect of soluble fiber on LDL cholesterol as well as the effects of the antioxidant compounds found in apples. Hunger pangs have derailed many a low-calorie diet. But there are plenty of low-calorie foods that also satisfy hunger and reduce the likelihood of overeating.

But Greek yogurt also contributes to feelings of fullness, as a study from the Nestlé Nutrition Institute found that consuming proteins found in dairy products increases satiety. Oatmeal: While many people may only eat oatmeal when fighting a cold, this high-fiber and low-calorie breakfast alternative can be enjoyed year-round, helping to fight feelings of hunger all along.

Bars, whether they are cookie, cake or even pie, are the easiest to make and serve, especially when there’s a crowd clamoring for dessert. You might have a pumpkin or sweet potato bar in your repertoire, but Aunt Nellie’s suggests Carrot Crumble Bars for a change of pace. Grab a jar of glazed, sliced carrots, slightly sweet and spicy, and ready to enjoy in numerous ways. They are also a great time-saving step for this delicious dessert. They’re cooked and ready to eat, so just puree the entire jar of carrots and add the remaining four ingredients.

United Way And Author Team Up To Donate Books To Preschoolers

hildren’s book author Nila J. Webster believes that everyone has a gift within him or her that can be shared with others. Webster’s gift was to donate 2,300 copies of her picture book, “The Gift of You, The Gift of Me” to United Way of Northern New Jersey to share with preschoolers across the region, this holiday season. The book of hope and courage tells the tale of a cat and his friendship with the trees at the end of his lane. The book was written in English but also includes translations in Arabic, Chinese, French and Spanish. United Way is distributing the books to preschools across five counties in NJ. The preschools receiving the books are all involved with the United Way Success By 6 initiative, which

works to improve access to high-quality early education for all families in the region. Webster, who lives in Massachusetts, has donated thousands of her books to schools and United Ways in various states. Battling lung cancer for six years, she wants children to enjoy reading, and hopes her gift “inspires others to think about community giving.” Throughout the time Webster has fought the resurgence of her cancer, she said she donated more than 200,000 of her books to children in Hong Kong, France, Argentina and Spain as well as to United Ways in New Mexico and Missouri. She also continues to write new books for elementary and middle school students. Webster reached out to United Way Success By 6 in northern NJ in early No-

vember with her donation offer. United Way jumped at the offer because the initiative supports early literacy efforts in order to promote kindergarten readiness. “Young children learn to enjoy reading when they read with their parents,” said United Way Success By 6 Manager JoAnn Quattro. “For so many children to be able to bring this uplifting story home with them is a very special gift. We are grateful to Ms. Webster for promoting early literacy with a positive message.” United Way of Northern New Jersey is a nonprofit organization working to improve people’s lives and strengthen communities by focusing on education, income and health.

With Winter Settling, Tips Prepare For Any Storm

By Henry M. Holden n recent years, some of the most damaging storms strike long before the first day of winter. Think Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. And the crippling snowstorms in the waning days of winter such as March 12-14, 1993 when a Category five snowstorm which was dubbed the “Storm of the Century. Snow blanketed more than half of New Jersey, with 20 to 30 inches in the far northern sections of the state. The National Weather Service reported the January 2016 blizzard dumped 33 inches in Morris Plains. Whether it’s a snowstorm or a hurricane, being prepared to deal with the storm safely both before,

during and its aftermath is strongly suggested. While the kids may love having a day or more off from school, for adults winter weather means a sometimes-chaotic commute to or from work, or the stress of preparing for the storm. The Morris County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has put together a preparedness list of winter weather tips. Before the storm hits, prepare the home. Create a checklist. Include flashlights, fresh batteries, a first aid kit, enough prescription medications to last a week, food that doesn’t need heating, a battery-operated radio, and cellphones with extra chargers. In addition to

medication, have a supply of one gallon of water, per person, for a maximum of three days. Don’t forget the four-legged family members. Make sure they have four or five days of food and water. OEM Director Jeff Paul said when temperatures go below freezing, 32 degrees, snow and ice are a real possibility. One of the most important things to do especially for the elderly and those with health issues is to stay inside. This includes pets. Paul says to avoid charcoal-burning devices, kerosene and other space heaters. These devices produce carbon monoxide, a silent killer that can happen without any obvious symptoms. For those using these

The blizzard of January 20, 2005, was a three-day storm that affected large areas of New Jersey. Much of the snow was cleared from the roads by the evening of January 24, leaving dangerous snow piles on roadways and corners 10 feet high in some places. Photo by Henry M. Holden.

heaters, make sure to have carbon monoxide alarms installed in the home; one near the furnace, one near the bedrooms and one in the rooms with a space

heater. Replace the batteries in them at least once a year. Pick the same day every year, say Halloween. Stay warm by wearing layers of loose-fitting,

lightweight, warm clothes. If a power outage lasts overnight or into the later hours, use extra blankets and close all doors to seal continued on next page

Prepare the vehicle. Having a prepared vehicle for the winter months is as important as home preparation. In the event of becoming stuck in a blizzard or white out conditions, or stranded on a back road, there are things that can be done. Pack a bag to keep in the trunk with warm clothes. In addition to clothes, keep the gas tank as close to full as possible, will keep the fuel line from freezing. If stranded and must sit out the storm, carry two empty coffee cans, several candles, and a blanket. The lighted candles placed in the coffee cans will keep the inside air temperature just above freezing. Wrap up in a

blanket and stay with the vehicle. One could easily get disoriented in the storm and wind up freezing to death. There will be road crews out even before the snows stop. Paul’s team also suggests taking the car for a full inspection. For example, have the tires checked. If tire treads are slowly wearing away, paying the price for new tires will be better than replacing a vehicle after an accident. Common replacements before winter should include windshield wipers, oil, fluids and air filters. Keep a shovel, snow melt and an ice scraper in the vehicle as ice can be unpredictable. Keep a bag of kitty litter in the trunk

for traction; sprinkling it underneath the tires can make them stop spinning. Blackouts and brownouts. Partial or full power outages during major storm events are expected. “Keep cash on hand,” said Paul, “because banks and ATM machines depend on electricity to serve their purpose.” Avoid opening the refrigerator or freezer as much as possible. Make sure to have an emergency power supply for anyone who needs power for medical equipment. Preparing a home and vehicle for the coming winter will not keep the snow away, but it will make a much safer winter.

How To Clean And Maintain Stainless Steel

o matter the style of a homeowner’s kit-chen, be it modern, traditional or farmhouse, stainless steel appliances can add a pop of shine and a touch of class. Proponents of stainless steel appliances note their easy maintenance, stylish look and durability. Plus, the neutral tone of stainless steel helps it blend in with just about any color palette. Stainless steel is lauded for its strength and resistance to corrosion and rust. These attributes make it a popular choice in kitchens, where moisture is an issue. Although they are certainly durable choices, stainless steel appliances re-

quire maintenance to keep them looking and performing at their best. Considering that stainless steel also costs more than other finish options, taking the time to learn proper care can help protect homeowners’ investments. Avoid chlorine bleach or other products containing chloride. Although stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, it is not completely impervious. Chlorine products can damage the surface of stainless steel appliances and stain them if the chlorine is left to sit. Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasives on the stainless steel because such products may scratch

the steel. Steel wool pads can leave behind a residue of small metal particles that may eventually rust. Baking soda mixed with a little dish soap can be used to remove some tough dirt and stains. Rinse well and towel dry to avoid streaking. Clean and wipe the steel in the direction of the “grain.” Usually this means working from the top of the appliance and moving down toward the floor. Consult with the owner’s manual before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning. The appliance may have a special coating over the stainless steel to help protect it, and it’s

best to know what you’re dealing with before getting your hands dirty. If you will be trying a cleaning product or scouring method, always test it first in an inconspicuous spot to see if it is effective or harmful. Julien, a leader in commercial kitchen equipment, recommends applying cleansers with a soft cloth or sponge. Then wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth or allow to air dry. Stainless steel remains a popular material in kitchens for sinks and appliances. With care, stainless steel can look like new for years to come.

How Building Permits Protect Homeowners

ou are thinking of making a major renovation to your home. Perhaps it’s time to create that master bedroom suite you long have admired or install that wraparound porch? What is the first thing that should be done before getting down to business? The correct way to begin a home remodeling project is to obtain the necessary permits for the job. Many municipalities request individuals obtain permits for a range of work on homes or other structures, such as office buildings. Permits are generally required for all new construction as well as specific modifications that will affect structural, plumbing, mechanical, and

electrical systems. It’s important to check with the local building office prior to beginning work to see which permits you will need before the project can begin. Permits are necessary whether a homeowner is doing the work or hiring an outside contractor. Due to the cost and time involved with securing permits, some homeowners skip this step so they can begin a project promptly. However, this can end up being a costly mistake. Permits might seem like a nuisance, but they actually protect homeowners in various ways. Permits ensure safe workmanship Permits provide a blueprint by which contractors

and do-it-yourselfers must complete renovations. Because inspections will take place, there is no wiggle room. Shortcuts often translate into subpar work that may lead to malfunction and injury in the long run. Safeguarding against poor workmanship means homeowners can feel confident in the work being done. Permits reduce the likelihood of costly mistakes As inspectors go through their checklists, they may notice things that were done incorrectly and will offer advice about how to mend the problem before it becomes a larger headache. If left unchecked, an electrical error could lead to a fire or another dan-

gerous situation. Repairs that are not structurally sound may pose problems or deteriorate more quickly than structures that are constructed correctly. Furthermore, catching improper technique early on eliminates having to tear down and redo work, which can be a costly and time-consuming endeavor. Permits protect against fines Sometimes work goes as planned even for homeowners who did not obtain the necessary permits. However, years later, when other work needs to be done, inspectors may discover homeowners never secured proper permits and inspections years earlier, leading to fines.

Obtain the proper permits before beginning construction.

Furthermore, if work is done without a permit and an accident occurs, any damages or injuries may not be covered by a homeowner’s insurance policy. Permits are an important

part of the home improvement process. Homeowners should not skirt the responsibility because the permit and inspection process is in place to provide protection to occupants.

ith the aid of modern technology, it’s now possible to convert virtually any ordinary house into a smart home filled with features that make daily tasks more convenient. These technologies allow for greener living, customization of your living space to personal tastes and the peace of mind that you can control key home systems with your smartphone. Converting to a smart home may seem like an intimidating task at first, but if you break the process into manageable steps you’ll find it’s not so hard to choose and install the best smart devices for your home and lifestyle. You can begin turning your house into a smart home by following

Starting Your Smart Home Transformation

these three simple steps. Set a budget. All of the technology and gadgetry that comprise today’s smart homes were once viewed as luxury, reserved for the rich and famous and those whose lives played out on the big screen. What once seemed impractical for the average homeowner is now quite attainable. When you consider that some smart devices, such as light bulbs, have a life span of up to 25 years, in the end you may end up even saving money. How much money you’ll ultimately spend to create your smart home depends on numerous factors: the size of your home, number of systems and appliances you wish to automate and the level of integration you

desire are significant considerations. Assuming that your home is already wired for a high-performance broadband connection, you can get into the smart home game for under $100 with a thermostat that you can manage remotely. On the other hand, adding smarthome technology throughout the whole house will likely cost in the thousands. Pay attention to the levels of integration various products offer. Purchasing products from brands that partner with many other smart-home device makers will help ensure the products you add in the future will work with those you install now. Selecting highly integrated products will save you time during the installation process, help you

avoid unnecessary expenses down the road and improve your overall smart-home experience. Brainstorm ideas for each room. Once you’re past the nuts and bolts of practical considerations, it’s time to start imagining. The key about designing the perfect smart home for you is to remember that the very essence of smart devices is their ability to make your life more convenient. Choosing the products and how you connect them is all about you and your lifestyle – there’s more than just one way to build your smart home. Go room to room in your home and think about the activities that occur in each space. Consider which of these can become easier or

more enjoyable with the support of smart technology. The living room, where you likely have a host of entertainment and audio equipment, offers plenty of obvious benefits, but also look at the kitchen, for example. Did you forget to start the dishwasher on your way out the door? Initiating a wash cycle remotely will

let you come home to dishes clean and ready for dinner. Prioritize what you install. When it’s time to begin the actual transition to a smart home, it’s a good idea to start with the most important products first. For most homeowners, those are the devices that you use every day. continued on next page

ered, you can turn attention to devices that help manage your home’s operation and efficiency. Thermostats that auto adjust to designated climate settings are a popular option for many homeowners because they bring immediate returns in reducing your overall energy usage. Irrigation systems and power management products are also wise investments when it comes to optimizing your home’s use of natural resources. Stepping across the threshold to a smart home may feel like a big step, but once you get settled and experience the convenience and control, you’ll likely find yourself exploring ways to incorporate smart technology every place you can. Smart Devices for Every

Room The number of devices that can be integrated into a smart home is growing at an accelerated rate, but not all are complex gadgets and gizmos. Some of the simpler options for every room in your home include: Living Room: Outlet Adapters Walk into your home late at night and flip on the lights, the TV or both without searching in the dark for a switch or remote. After your smart outlet adapter is plugged into the wall, appliances can be plugged into the adapter and controlled from a smartphone. Bedroom: Motorized Drapes Adding motorized drapes to your bedroom allows for an easy way to adjust lighting and privacy – all without leaving the comfort of

your bed. Properly adjusting drapes, which is easy to do with smartphone control, can also help manage energy consumption by regulating solar heat. Kitchen: Coffee Maker Wake up to your favorite morning beverage without drowsily scooping and pouring. A smart coffee maker can make the right amount of coffee at just the right time through simple settings on your smartphone. Garage: Remote Garage Door Access Open, close and monitor your garage door anywhere, anytime, with MyQ technology from Chamberlain. With remote access to one of the main entry points to your home, you can ensure the garage door is shut when you’re out or ready to open when you return.
