Disney Original Movie
The demand for Smart Home technology in Nashville is rising and the products are following suit with even more innovative options for personal use. We are seeing a lot of development in personal security systems, lighting, home appliances, and more – with an emphasis on utilizing mobile devices.
Does anyone else remember the Disney movie Smart House in 1999? Just me?
I remember WANTING one of these houses – minus the whole technology gone wrong situation.
And according to a Coldwell Banker Real Estate Survey – it seems we are moving in that direction. The survey indicated that:
Homes with Smart technology sell faster than homes without them
More buyers are wanting to be able to control home features from a mobile device – whether that be a phone or tablet
With more new development headed to Nashville/increase in younger and more tech savvy buyers – we are going to see more of a demand for smart home technology in Nashville. Here is some smart technology offered now for your home (or future home) to make it a little smarter and more attractive to potential buyers.
Nest now offers three innovative products.
Nest Thermostat – Is a thermostat that can be controlled from a mobile device and also learns your temperature preferences. It also has such a beautiful interface it is an amazing addition to any wall.

Nest Cam – Can be used as a baby monitor or pet monitor – it allows you to listen or to talk through it – for example if your dog start chewing the pillows you can say NO to your dog from anywhere! It alerts you if something weird is happening in your home – it is smart enough to differentiate between what is just background noise and what is abnormal – so it is perfect for security as well!
Nest Protect – Smoke Alarm – that thinks before it acts – it tells you in a human voice where the problem area is. It alerts your smart phone when there is smoke and can also be hushed from your phone as well. It is even smart enough to test itself to make sure it is working properly.
Mobile controlled Security System -with no monthly fees. All controlled by your personal app on your mobile device. It is a DIY system – so you put it together and it won’t call the police automatically (which some people like).
August Smart Lock: Allows you to ditch the keys and use your mobile device. You can grant access to people to enter your home and you can take away access. It stores the times when people enter and leave. To learn more watch the August Promo Video – such a cool feature for a home – I can see this technology being very useful!

LG Twin Washer: First – you can wash two loads at once! This allows you to wash you whites and darks at the same time. Okay – and did I mention it will update you when the laundry is done with the LG App? I think this one is not quite available yet – but sure to be a hit!

Caséta Wireless products – allows you to control your lights from everywhere! I would love to be able to come home and turn my lights on before entering.
Those are just a few of the new technology offered for your home – I imagine we will keep seeing smart home technology develop as the demand for it develops. What are some smart home devices you are interested in?
