Smart Gadgets: 4 Smart Ways to Stay Warm This Winter

Winter is on the way – temperatures are plummeting, and the days are getting shorter. Which means less time spent outside and more time tucked up at home. Smart Gadgets can help you keep you warm and get your home ready for winter and we’ll show you how tech can help you survive the cold.

1- Smart Programmable Thermostat

Smart thermostats are revolutionizing how we stay warm during the winter. Not only are they more convenient than traditional models, but they’re also more energy efficient. Multiple models on the market today allow you to adjust the temperature from your smartphone. Coming home after a chilly walk on a crisp winter’s day? Start the heating up on your way, so the house is toasty warm by the time you arrive.

2- Sunrise Simulation Light

Winter mornings can be dark and cold outside. A natural sunrise simulation smart light can help you wake up and feel refreshed for the day. Some natural sunrise simulation lights have guided breathing exercises available as well.

3- Smart Comforter

Thinking about a heated blanket? — Try a smart comforter or duvet. Instead of having to plug in your heavy blankets, these comforters/ duvets can be controlled from your smartphone. Simply set the preferred temperature before you sleep or pre-program your settings ahead of time. You can also set different temperatures for both sides of the bed — in case one partner likes it hot and one likes it cool. It's practically perfect for weather like winter.

4- Slow Cooker Apps

Slow cookers are energy-efficient and can have a warm cooked meal or hot beverage ready and waiting on you. And now with the help of apps, you can tell when your slow cooker is done cooking or if you need to program a time onto it. Simply put all the ingredients in before you leave and start it from wherever you are. The smell of hot, cinnamon apple cider waiting for you when you get home is unparalleled.
