We here at DRN are always stoked to see fellow Australians kicking goals and delivering the goods. We love supporting them as much as possible and will spread the word to support local. LASER Corp has more than 30 years of experience in delivering affordable technology. Their new range of products under the CONNECT SmartHome brand offers an extensive range of affordable products – everything from smart lighting to smart plugs, IR remotes and much more. It means consumers can get a wide range of Smart Home products from just $10, making an effective smart home for around $100 more possible now than ever before.
There are many cost-effective smart home options that can make a quick but important impact on the safety, warmth, comfort and convenience of Australians this winter. With the use of smart devices, you can turn on lights around your home as you come home at night, pre-heat your electric blanket before making your way to the bedroom, or set up timers to make sure your heater safely turns off as you doze off. But ignoring safety and a cozy bed, who wouldn’t love the kitchen lights to automatically turn on low and the coffee machine fire up a few minutes before your alarm, so you stumble out of bed to the smell of fresh coffee?
Further, the ability to automate schedules and control your lighting and appliances remotely also means more control over your energy use. The latest Power Plugs from CONNECT feature power monitoring so you can see how much energy your appliances are using, making an investment in smart home products good for your hip pocket too. That old bar heater you use you can now hook up to a CONNECT Power Plug and see just how inefficient it is at heating your room, but also ensure that you turned it off before you left for work!
The CONNECT SmartHome is compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, meaning users can control their home electronics via voice command or as standalone products controlled via the CONNECT SmartHome app (Android/iOS). These new additions update and expand the existing smart home range featuring water controllers, smart locks, doorbells, expanded lighting options and more.
