Amenities and comfort

From turning on the lights, through controlling your thermostat, to voice activating your speakers, you can do all of it without even getting up from your bed or your sofa. And some of those things, without even being in the house. That is the benefit of a smart, high-tech home, so reconsider it during your home improvement.

Amazon Echo, for example, is a hardware hub, a comprehensive main control system for your house which allows you to control many things in your house. It connects with other smart gadgets in the house and controls them according to your commands. It is voice-activated with a programmed virtual assistant called Alexa. It will activate whenever you say Alexa, and listen to your commands. Alexa can also give you some information when you ask her, and even tell a joke.
