If smartphones were one of the major tech developments of the 2000s, the next big step in the 2010s is the development of smart home devices.
In case there are still doubts that we’re living in the golden age of technology development, just peruse your smartphone and you will see an app or two that has simultaneous communication functions that could be used at your homes.
With every passing month, it feels like we’re getting closer and closer to living like our characters in the futuristic movies and shows we watched as we grow. Technology just keeps getting smarter and more interesting, and as a result, even the most basic things we use on a day-to-day basis have become pretty advanced. It was just a few years ago that voice assistants weren’t common things to have in your home, and now apps and voice assistants can control everything from your lightbulbs to your refrigerator.
No, it isn’t science fiction. It’s just Smart Home Automation.
Whether you’re looking for a connected light bulb, security camera, or your own virtual assistant, start with the best smart home devices that will best enhance your life.
Smart speakers are becoming a common household staple as it doubles up as the central control hub for smart home devices and as a personal AI assistant. It’s no longer enough for a speaker to simply just play music. You should be able to use them as an entire smart home hub, integrate with color-changing lights, smart locks, security systems, TVs, and even the door locks!
With Google Assistant, a powered virtual assistant developed by Google, you can use Google Nest Mini to playback entertainment throughout your home, manage everyday tasks, and ask Google things you want to know.
A smart digital lock is an electromechanical lock that is designed to perform locking and unlocking operations on a door when it receives instructions from an authorized device using a wireless protocol and cryptographic key to execute the authorization process. Yes, the key is not a physical key but a smartphone or a special key fob configured explicitly for this purpose which wirelessly performs the authentication needed to automatically unlock the door.
But with Cherry Home’s Smart Entrance Lock, you can have multiple entry points that you can set the lock to respond to, such as your fingerprint, a numeric passcode, an RFID, or remote access through the Cherry Home app. You don’t even have to touch your door’s keypad to open it!

A smart home is incomplete without its smart TV. A smart TV should make it easier for you and your family to stream movies and shows. With powerful processors, internet connectivity, easy-to-navigate software, and the ability to run and support a wide range of apps, smart TVs are more like smartphones or tablets now.
With a Samsung smart TV, you can open up a world of new entertainment options as you can now connect to streaming services like Netflix, HBO Go, and Amazon Prime. You can play games with your chosen gaming consoles, and even check social media, and control a house full of connected gadgets including Google Home and Amazon Alexa compatible devices.
