Alexa is an amazing piece of software that can completely change the way that you live. If you are ready to take full advantage of Alexa, then you might want to invest in a few household devices that are compatible with this cutting-edge virtual assistant.

Wireless Thermostat

Many homeowners don’t realize just how much money they can save by installing a wireless thermostat. While these devices are more expensive than traditional thermostats, you could potentially reduce your heating and cooling costs by hundreds of dollars a year. The smart thermometer can use your phone to know when you’re and set the house on an Eco setting. You can schedule it to start cooling/warming up to your desired temperature when you get home. This is a great way to make sure kids don’t’ play with the thermostat as you can always check it in your pocket.  As an added bonus, these devices are very easy to install, and this project should only take you a few minutes. Many cities give a rebate when you first install a digital smart thermostat.

WiFi Outlets

Turning a traditional outlet into a smart outlet is as easy as plugging in a cord. A WiFi outlet is nothing more than a slim plug that connects to your home’s wireless router. Once the plug has been connected to the network, you will be able to turn it off and on with any device that is compatible with Alexa. You can tell Alexa to turn off the lamps or lights connected to the Wi-Fi outlets. This is handy in the holiday season.
