Ah, the renter’s life. It’s a beautiful thing that makes life affordable, but also presents certain restrictions when it comes to customizing your home with the latest technology (or even a fresh coat of paint, depending on your landlord). But Silicon Valley and beyond have created awesome devices that don’t require custom installation – just an outlet and the perfect spot to display it.
Amazon Echo
How much do we love the Amazon Echo? Find out by checking out our entire blog post about it here! The Echo is a perfect start to a smarthome — it’s a smart speaker that can play your music, help you out in the kitchen, tell you the weather and control other smart devices in your home.
Canary
Canary is an all-in-one home security system. In a sleek white and black body, it’s able to send to intelligent alerts of movement, detect air quality and temperature, and even has night vision. If you’re always worrying when you’re away from home, Canary is a great solution for you to keep an eye on your turf.
IKEA Wireless Charging Furniture
Since everything we own is IKEA anyways (what? That’s just me?) it’s time to invest in the latest and greatest from IKEA: wireless charging furniture. With side tables, lamps and even little trays with charging power coming to IKEA this spring, you won’t need to search for your charging cord ever again.
WeMo Switch
Ever worry that you left your hair straightener or the iron on? Worry no more by plugging it into a WeMo Switch, which you can turn on and off with your phone. You can also use it to control lights, heaters, etc. — and the Amazon Echo can even control it, too!
