4 PERFECT SMART TECH BUYS
Great starter buys to make life that little bit smoother
RING ALARM
The Ring Alarm system is affordable, simple to set up and easy to
maintain, and offers full protection for your home: you get a siren,
a keypad and a handful of sensors that can sound the alarm (and
ping an app on your phone) when unwelcome visitors are detected.
Everything you need for simple self-assembly is in the box, and you
can add extra sensors and cameras as needed.

TADO° STARTER KIT V3+
Control your heating and indoor climate from anywhere and save
money at the same time, as this tado° system automatically adapts
to work as efficiently as possible – working out how quickly your
home heats up and cools down, for example. The kit can monitor the
weather outside, the climate inside and your location to work out
when heating is needed; it’s all easily manageable from your phone.

PHILIPS HUE GO
The portable Philips Hue Go is flexible enough to go anywhere and
do just about anything you need from a smart light: with 16 million
colour choices, it fit everything from a romantic meal out in the
garden to a movie night inside the house. It works from the mains
or its internal battery, using Zigbee or Bluetooth, and offers both
Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice control compatibility.

Get some extra peace of mind and convenience at home with the
Conexis L1® smart lock. It doesn’t look all that different from a
conventional lock, but can be operated from your smartphone –
let the kids in after school while you’re at the office, make sure
the front door is locked from your bedroom, give temporary mobile
keys to friends and family, and more besides.
