When shopping for a system, review software platforms first. Alarm. com and iControl are the two biggest. The former has partnered with more than 2,500 dealers and the latter with ADT and Comcast. Among other things, you’ll have to decide between a “cellular primary” or “broadband primary” system. The former is a wireless connection to the monitoring station, making it immune to power outages or someone cutting a cable. It is limited, however, with regard to transmitting large quantities of video, so many cellular primary systems incorporate broadband for video. Broadband primary services, on the other hand, have cables running down the side of a house that can be cut, thereby disabling the system. Some services offer cellular back up should this occur. Look for a home security system with a full line of wireless peripherals, including modules for controlling lights and appliances, thermostats, cameras, motion sensors some can distinguish between a pet and a person, water sensors, and glass break and vibration sensors. Look for long life battery power, too.

The iRobot Roomba i7+ comes with a hefty price tag, but it’s worth the cost. Our editors tested six popular robot vacuums and the iRobot Roomba i7+ came out on top. The vacuum comes with a charging base that suctions everything out of the bin into a sealable bag and comes with a slew of smart features. This version of the iRobot Roomba, which can hold up to 10 grams of debris, also creates a virtual map of your home, making sure that every nook and cranny gets cleaned. If you frequently visit the bathroom or any room in your home for that matter at night, you have to choose whether to turn on the bright lights or navigate around in the dark. Philips Hue solves this dilemma with its Smart Motion Sensor Lights. The sensors will automatically turn on the lights for a set amount of time after motion is detected, and you can even set it to use a gentle light that won’t blind you. There's no messing with wires a win for renters and those who don’t want to damage their walls, as the plug runs on batteries. Oh, and did we mention the set up takes just a minute?Easy peasy. Your midnight trip to the bathroom run just got a whole lot brighter. I don't know about you, but remembering to water the lawn is one area where I could stand to improve, especially when I’m out of town.
