Do you know how many devices you have connected to your home network?  Chances are you don’t think about it too often unless a problem occurs.

Start with computers and laptops; those are obvious ones that connect to the internet.  Of course, your smartphones and tablets connect too.

Do you have smart TVs?  Most of the TVs from the past five years are smart, and they connect to your network.  Do you have streaming devices like an Apple TV or a Roku?  Yes, those too.

Now to those, we can add other smart devices.  Most of these have a hub that connects to your router and the Internet.

Home automation technology continues to march onward.  Our homes are getting smarter all the time.  There are smart lights, appliances, thermostats, cameras, TVs, motorized shades, and speakers available these days.

While you can have one or all of these smart things in your home, it’s even smarter to control them all with a unified home automation system that makes them all work well together, to automate your routines and save time for the things that matter most to you.

If you are familiar with Amazon Alexa, you know it is a line of smart speakers.  Besides telling you sports scores, playing music on demand, and making a very convenient voice-controlled kitchen timer - it also makes a great way to control other smart devices in your home.

How do you do that?  Pair Alexa with a Savant home automation system.  Alexa can be your “voice butler” that tells your Savant system what to do.  Read on to learn about some of the things this dynamic duo can do in your Dallas home.
