Imagine being able to control your appliances, thermostats, lights, electronics, and home security all from the convenience of your smartphone or tablet. Those are just some of the key benefits of turning your humble abode into a smart home. Whether you’re looking to purchase your first smart TV, or you want to install all the smart home devices on the market, we’ve got you covered. Read on for three simple ways to begin the home automation process.

Install Smart Home Security
For many of us, home security is priority #1. When you visit the Macy’s home shop you can easily begin the process by shopping Google Nest or Ring doorbells with a camera. Ring doorbells allow you to see live video footage of your front door. To help monitor the perimeter and interior of your home you can also install gadgets like floodlights, spotlights, and indoor Google Nest or Ring cameras. These handy smart home essentials provide you with precise motion-activated alerts and allow you to check in anytime.

Install Smart LED Lights
Smart light bulbs and lighting fixtures can be controlled remotely or through voice commands. They also help manage energy usage by tracking the unnecessary use of lighting and automatically turning off lights when there’s no one in the room. LED lights are efficient, longer lasting (they can last up to 40 times longer!), and emit less heat.

Purchase a Smart TV
Like other smart home appliances, your new Smart TV will connect to the Internet so you can directly stream content beyond the typical TV channels. You can also connect to a voice control smart home system like Alexa or Google Assistant.
