There’s a lot of tech powering our lives today. Whether it’s a state-of-the-art smartphone, an all-day laptop, or headphones that mask the din of the world around us.

One area that tech is slowly improving upon is in our homes. From smart TVs to vacuum cleaners, there’s a great selection of tech that’s available to make our lives easier and living smarter. It’s not just about the convenience – it’s also about being able to save time in our already busy lives.

Smart homes are a great way to address a number of things that can be improved upon through technology. They can help keep our homes secure, save on our electric bills, and even make it easy to step right into our homes without having to reach for a house key.

Amazon recently launched its home services division, which also includes Smart Home Services. This includes a number of services that make installing smart devices into your home a real breeze. 

So if you’re looking to inject some very cool tech into your home, there are four great recommendations you should look at.

Nest Learning Thermostat | AED 999

Nest Learning Thermostat | AED 999

If your house or apartment is empty for most of the day, then chances are you’ve still got the air conditioning going on full blast. While you could of course switch it off when you leave the house, that means you’re going to come back to a house that’s unnecessarily warm, and will take a while to cool back down again. 

The Nest Learning Thermostat is a great solution to this. It’s able to monitor the temperature in your home and automatically adjust it to a comfortable setting. When you’re away, it’ll switch the AC to fan mode or turn it off, and then when it’s time for you to come home, it’ll turn it back on so you come back to a cool home once again. Not only will it save on your electric bill, it’s also better for the environment.
