Simple Smart-Home Additions to Modernize Your Apartment
September 17, 2024 | Essence Management

Living in Woodland Hills has many perks, from beautiful scenery to convenient urban spaces near your community. But to truly elevate your apartment living experience, integrating technology is essential. Keep reading to discover how to turn your apartment into a smart home with easy additions.

How to Make Your Apartment into a Smart Home

Turning your apartment into a smart home doesn’t require major renovations. Adding a few key devices can make your living space more convenient and efficient. 

Renter-Friendly Smart-Home Devices

Smart Bulbs

Replace regular bulbs with smart bulbs. Some brands offer adjustable brightness and colors to help you create your desired ambiance. The best thing about them? You can control them from your smartphone or use voice commands.

Smart Switches

If replacing bulbs isn’t enough, consider smart switches. They let you control existing light fixtures without changing out the bulbs, which can be a great solution that will make your life easier.

Smart Speakers

Devices like Amazon Echo or Google Home enable hands-free control of smart devices and quick access to streaming services for your entertainment.

Central Hub 

A smart home hub can integrate all your devices, allowing you to control everything from one app. Some popular options include Samsung SmartThings or Apple HomeKit.

Voice Assistants 

Voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant give you seamless control over smart home technology for apartments—no need to go out of your way to activate your devices.

Smart Plugs 

Smart plugs are a more adaptable version of smart switches. They turn any regular appliance into a smart device. For example, you can control lamps, fans, or coffee makers from your smartphone.

Turn Your Woodland Hills Apartment into a Smart Home

Integrating smart home technology into your apartment makes everyday life that much easier. Simple smart home additions can transform your Woodland Hills apartment into a modern space where you can unwind and relax after a long day. Choose any of these options and see the magic happen at home.
