The future has so much technology in store for us. Luckily, some of that great technology is already upon us. Here are 4 pieces of technology that can make your life easier.
Lockitron
The Lockitron is a wireless device that allows you keyless entry to your home using your phone. It is a high-tech lock that goes over your existing deadbolt. With it's simple and intuitive two-button app, any smartphone can be used. For older phones, text commands can be used to control the device. You can share your Lockitron information with family and friends to give them easy access. To help you stay aware, you can use the app to see if your door is currently locked or not. You'll even receive notifications whenever the door is unlocked. Because of it's simple design, the Lockitron can even be used by renters or people who move frequently. Additionally, with the iPhone 4 or 5, you can set up the Lockitron's Sense features, which allows the device to unlock your door when you come within range.
WeMo
The company Belkin produces a series of products under the name of WeMo. The WeMo Switch is a device that plugs into any outlet in your home. You can then connect any other appliance as you normally would through the WeMo Switch. Any appliance connected to this device can be controlled by the WeMo App. Users can wirelessly control appliances around their home by using any smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet. This remote control can be performed as long as the user has internet access. Additionally, you can use your app to see what appliances are currently on or off. With this technology, you'll never forget to leave any appliance on at home ever again. To increase convenience around the home, you can the WeMo Sensor. This will turn appliances on and off around your home as you enter or leave a room.
Numi Toilet
The company Kohler has been at work for several decades, perfecting appliances all over the home. One of their most notable products is the Numi Toilet. This toilet is extremely water efficient and basically has a mind of it's own. The lid is motion activated so you don't have to touch anything upon entering your bathroom. It has an automatic deodorizer to help reduce unpleasant smells. For your comfort, the Numi Toilet has seat warmers and feet warmers. To set the mood, you can even play some music from it. To top it all off, the Numi Toilet has a self-cleaning function, which alone, can make the price of the toilet worth it.
