Consumer tips: Smart Home Upgrades | News

Shreveport, La. – Smart homes don't have to be so complicated. Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angi, is here to share some simple smart home upgrades.

From video doorbells to robot vacuum, there is an intelligent house upgrade for everyone. In today's ASK Angi segment, Angie Hicks shares her preferred Smart Home devices.

Video doorbells are the most common Smart -Home -Accessories for good reason. You can help you see if someone is visiting, you see that packages are delivered and you can help you keep your place in mind when you are gone.

If you want to go one step further, you can connect your video doorbell with other safety devices, such as a hub, a smart door lock and other cameras that monitor your home.

Smart Home devices can also help you reduce your energy consumption. You can set them so that your lights can be switched on or off from the distance to save energy.

Angie says that intelligent thermostats work in the same way. If you control the temperature of your house from a distance, you can save energy in the long run.

If you are always looking for ways to save time, a robot vacuum may be a great solution for you. You can adjust it to run while you're gone and you come home to a clean house. There are even those that also wipe floors for them and save them even more time.
