Smart plugs

For example, we can connect the heating to have a comfortable temperature when we get home while we are still working, or we can also turn on a light to prevent a possible thief from knowing that no one is home. Another possibility will be to connect the heating from the bed, before getting up, and even turn on the coffee maker to have fresh coffee.

If you are used to watching television in bed, you can program it to turn off at a certain time, thus preventing it from staying on when you fall asleep. In addition, with the monitoring that the application allows, you will be able to know whether or not you are interested in hiring a rate with time discrimination.
