Control your lights with your voice — turn them on and off, dim to the right brightness and change to the right shade of warm or cool.

The app allows you to remotely switch on your lights when you're away from home, and also has four preset modes to start your day out energized and relax in the evening.

Keeping your floors free of dirt and debris has never been easier. Robot vacuums allow you to tackle the rest of your to-do list while they take care of your hardwoods, tile, rugs and carpet. This model does a complete cleanup job by automatically emptying itself for up to 60 days.

You just have to manually empty the vacuum after each use.

Check in on your furry friends with this camera that sends a livestream video to your phone.

Simplify managing your home temperature with a smart thermostat. Not only does the thermostat help you save energy with its Eco modes, but it also monitors your heating and cooling systems for problems. With auto-schedules, it learns the temperatures you like and learns to program the house to your comfort.

Additionally, if you need to let friends or family in when you're not home, you can quickly send them a secure key. Biometric verification gives you extra security.

Keep an eye on your house even when you're not home. The 1080p HD video doorbell lets you see, hear and speak to anyone from your device, and built-in motion sensors notify your phone. Plus, you can use Live View to see your home at any time.

This all-in-one device connects to most of your smart devices, allowing you control everything with a simple, "Alexa."
