    4 New Tech Gadgets

    Phones are smart, thermostats are smart, and security systems are smart. More and more, common household appliances are becoming smart. Here are four high-tech gadgets we found on the internet that we thought were pretty cool.

    Family Hub Refrigerator

    This well could be the fridge of the future. It actually has a Wi-Fi touchscreen, and lets you view your calendar, notes, recipes – even the weather forecast. For those who have kids that stand in front of the fridge with the door open just staring at it, you can watch TV shows or movies and stream music through the screen. It actually has a camera inside that lets you peek inside your fridge through an app. Now if only it would prepare your dishes for you!

    Smart Deadbolt

    The smart deadbolt let you use your smart phone as remote keyfob – no need for carrying keys! You can set multiple user-specific codes. That allows to see if the kids come home late, or lets set temporary codes for contractors. The lock connects with our Lynx Touch panels and can be accessed by our Total Connect app.

    Soundwall

    Music is art, and with this cool product, art can play music! It looks like a painting, and gets hung on your wall, and has speakers. What makes it especially neat is that you can upload your pictures or art and stream whatever music you want. soundwall

    Electronic Pet Door

    If you’ve ever been worried that burglars could sneak through a doggie door like they did in the Hangover 3 movie with Bradley Cooper, this is the gadget for you. The door uses RFID technology to read a special tag on your pet’s collar, giving only him the only access to the door. plexidoor

    Practical Automation

    Home Automation. Turn off the lights, lower the thermostat, lock the front door, even turn off your coffee maker – all from your smartphone or tablet.

    Lighting. By turning off your lights when you leave, you’re saving energy. And that means you’re saving money. By turning lights on remotely, you give the appearance of someone being home. And that means you’re increasing your security.

    Thermostat. Warm up your house before you get home. Turn it down when you’re gone.

    Door locks. Let the kids in when they get off the bus, or a contractor in while you’re at work.

    Appliances. Make sure your husband turns off the coffee maker or your daughter turns off her curling iron before leaving for school.

    Cameras. Check on your dog, the babysitter, or the house cleaner with your smartphone or tablet – from anywhere, anytime
