Today, it’s almost unheard of for a home to be without some form of technology. Technology has evolved to the point we simply can’t live without it. While there’s plenty of home technology you can install, there are a few devices no home can avoid. In this post, we’ll be covering five pieces of home technology you can’t be without in 2024.
Smart Thermostat

You may be thinking that having a thermostat in the house is obvious. It’s what helps regulate the temperature in a home, after all. Thanks to the evolution of home technology, however, there are new iterations of thermostats that can maintain temperature balance while saving money. These are known as smart thermostats. Smart thermostats function near identical to their traditional counterparts. What makes smart thermostats unique is how they’re operated. Smart thermostats can learn and adapt to a homeowner’s preferred climate while using less power. The less power it uses, the less you’ll have to pay in utilities. In addition, you can control these thermostats even when you’re not at home. This can be done by using the device’s exclusive mobile app on your phone or laptop.
Home Elevator
You might be asking yourself if home elevators are expensive. Yes, they are somewhat of an investment, but home elevators are becoming more popular by the day. This is all thanks to their safety and utility. There are even super smart home elevators you can choose from. Traditional home elevators may provide safe passage to the upper levels of your home, but they also use power in the process. Smart home elevators, on the other hand, maximize efficiency while reducing the amount of power it uses. Like smart thermostats, smart home elevators can also be controlled remotely through a digital app.
Robot Vacuums
We’re all busy people and daily tasks can take up plenty of our time and attention, which can make it difficult to even clean our homes. For this reason, robot vacuums have become a household staple. Robot vacuums are integrated with sensors and smart technologies to map out a good route and keep your home clean.
Amazon Echo
Amazon Echo is a virtual assistant powered by a robust AI. It can help you stay on track of tasks, set timers, remind you of your to-do lists and even provides easy access to information whenever you need it. These are perfect for those who are elderly or disabled. Amazon Echo is a small investment, but it’s more than worth it if it means simplifying your lifestyle.
Smart Locks
Everyone knows how important it is to keep their doors locked, but there may be an occasion where you accidentally forgot. With smart locks, you can keep your home safe from any would-be intruders regardless of where you are. As with other smart technologies, you can easily manage your locks through a mobile app. In addition, smart locks pair up very nicely smart security systems. Smart security systems give you 24/7 surveillance, so you can keep tabs on what’s occurring both inside and outside your property.
