Turning your lights on and off, closing your blinds, or even letting your dog outside is all possible with a simple tap on your smart phone or tablet. It sounds pretty futuristic, but the Iris app by Lowe\u2019s is making this a reality for homeowners everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Lowe\u2019s describes the Iris app as a \u201cremote control for your home.\u201d Starter kits run as\u00a0low as $179, so you don\u2019t need to worry about breaking the bank to add helpful gadgets to your home, make your life easier, and keep your family safer. The kits are geared towards home security and energy conservation, but you can completely customize it to fit your home and your family\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home Security<br \/>\n<\/strong>Contact sensors can be installed anywhere you want to monitor activity in your home. Placing one near a window is one of the most common uses, but you can also\u00a0monitor your medicine or liquor cabinet. The sensor will alert you when someone opens the cabinet, which is a great way for parents to keep their children safe.<\/p>\n<p>Motion sensors are a must for monitoring activity in your home, whether it\u2019s from afar or when you \u00a0just want to keep an eye on something from another room. One of the demonstrations we saw at CES showed a sensor in a baby\u2019s crib, so parents can be notified when their child is moving around during the night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy Conservation<br \/>\n<\/strong>The smart thermostat allows you to control the temperature in your home remotely, which is a guaranteed way\u00a0to conserve energy and lower your monthly utility bill. Installing smart plugs allows homeowners to turn the lights on remotely so they never have to come home to a dark house again.<\/p>\n<p>We also checked out the smart valve, which is a device that connects the main water supply in your home to the Iris app. The app allows you to turn water on or off remotely, which gives homeowners peace of mind knowing they can protect their home from any leaks or flooding, no matter where they are.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never been easier to have a smart home, and Lowe\u2019s Iris kits are the perfect way to get started.
