Amazon Echo Plus

Chances are, you’ve already been impressed by the Amazon Echo, the online retailer’s voice-control device. 

Echo makes it possible to control certain smart devices with the sound of your own voice. All you have to do is say “Alexa, dim the lights by 60 percent,” and watch it happen before your eyes.

It’s one of the coolest developments in smart home technology in the past few years – especially because it can integrate with your existing Control4 system for even more control.

This year, Amazon has upgraded the device with smart home hub capabilities with the Echo Plus. That means you can talk to it, and it can help some of your smart devices talk to each other.

Of course, the Echo Plus isn’t as powerful as a full smart home control system. It only connects with Zigbee-capable devices, effectively shooting itself in the foot by ignoring the other major smart home protocol, known as Z-Wave.

But if you’re looking for a fun, affordable way to get a friend into home automation, the Echo Plus is a great way to start.

Control4 Triad One Streaming Amplifier

Have you and your significant other been planning to upgrade a pool house or the room above the garage but don’t know where to start?

Adding an audio distribution system can easily transform any space. But if you’re not looking for a big investment yet, why not look at Control4’s Triad One streaming amplifier?

The wireless music device allows you to place your audio components in any room and stream them throughout the entire space.

The best part? Because it’s a Control4 device, you can easily integrate it with other components from one of the world’s leading smart home manufacturers.

If you’re looking for an easy way to get into home automation, while also giving a gift your family can enjoy every day, start with the Triad One.

Seura Smart Mirror Hub

What’s the one room in your home that you’re guaranteed to spend at least some time every day? 

Your bathroom may not see the most traffic throughout the day, but everyone needs it eventually. So why not spend a little time upgrading it with cool smart home technology? 

The Seura Smart Mirror Hub is a perfect way to enjoy many of the features of your smart home system as you get ready for work every morning.

The maker of mirror televisions has expanded into home control with their latest device, which allows you to interact directly with your smart components while you brush your teeth.

You can download apps and play games or just catch up on the morning traffic and weather reports.

It’s a fun and useful gift that can transform your daily routine in the New Year, which makes it a perfect addition to your holiday wish list this season.
