The Safety Patrol

Netgear Arlo Q Security Camera or Geeni Vision Security Camera

Nest Protect Smart Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detector

The next time you have to replace the batteries in your old smoke detectors, install this literal lifesaver instead. Control this device from your phone, where you’ll receive alerts about any smoke or CO in your space. You’ll hear a human voice overhead alerting you to same, or simply reminding you to remove that pizza from the oven before it gets burnt.

 

The Clean Team

Ecobee4 Smart Thermostat

This is more than a thermostat–it’s a voice assistant, too. But the most important feature here is that the Ecobee4’s finely-tuned sensor will detect cold and warm spots in your house and help you address the problem. It’s the best way to customize your temperature.

Samsung Powerbot R7070 or Neato Botvac

Robot vacuums unite! These powerful little cleaners have come a long way. They’re smaller, sleeker, and more efficient than ever, for starters, and in some cases will run for 2 hours. This means you could be on the couch watching an entire movie while your bot tidies your floors, directed from the app on your phone.

Why should indoors have all the robotic fun? Take the same approach to your backyard as your floors and get yourself a robotic lawnmower. It goes the distance, and when it’s done, GARDENA promises that clean up is easy.

Coway AIRMEGA 300S
