The world of technology is constantly growing and evolving. It seems like every few months a new smart device comes to the market. Many of these smart devices are created with the purpose of helping homeowners or renters with streamlining the tasks in their daily lives. As a renter, there are quite a few products on the market that can help you accomplish daily tasks. Some of these products do require installation and wiring. It’s important to check with your apartment manager or your lease agreement to be clear on what you are allowed to have. Here are some of our top suggestions for smart devices for your apartment.
Smart Lightbulbs
Smart lightbulbs are extremely helpful smart devices for your apartment. They allow you to control the lighting in your apartment remotely, set them to a schedule, or integrate them with other smart technology. Homeowners typically install smart light switches or dimmers within their home to complete these same tasks. With renting though, permanent wiring is not typically allowed within apartment lease agreements. Which is why smart lightbulbs are great temporary smart device options for renters.
Smart Smoke Alarms
Smart smoke alarms are one of the smart devices that you will have to check with your apartment community on whether or not they are allowed. They can be a great safety feature for your apartment by alerting you on your mobile phone that your alarm is going off when you are not home. It will also perform periodic testing to show that it is working properly.
Smart Cameras
Smart Cameras can help to alert your mobile phone when there is unexpected movement in your home. This could inform you of break-ins, problems with a pet, or any other scenario out of the ordinary. Make sure to check with any roommates before installing them to get their consent.
