Connected homes
Smart homes are designed for savings & comfort
What's a connected home? It's a smart home that goes beyond the basic use of wifi to embrace technology in ways that reduce energy use and give you greater management of your home's systems, from security and entertainment to your heat and lights.
We'll help you explore connected home options that work from you. And we'll look at how others have found ways to use new technologies to get the most out of their homes.
