One of my home improvement goals for 2021 is to make my home "smart" and
live a more efficient and optimised life . Smart outlets are ideal for any space and can streamline your cords and environment for a clean and functional look. With a touch of a button, we can adjust the thermostat, make sure our home is secured, and turn off hair straighteners and curling irons, without even being inside the home. Smart outlets are a great way to improve your life at home inconspicuously, not only at an affordable cost but with easy installation as well! You can control most of your electronics through smart outlets, remove the need for charging blocks with built-in USB port outlets, give yourself more outlets with multi-outlet systems, and so much more. Most of these outlets are Alexa and Google Home compatible. Whether you're channelling your inner Marie Kondo and Home Edit or changing the vibe and decor of your home, a new year means new updates to your living space [1].
