I have purchased a home alarm system and sprinkler system, and am about to purchase an HVAC thermostat this weekend. I consider these smart-home apps essential to running an efficient home.

Not yet, but I’ve been eyeing the Philips Hue Connected Bulb starter pack, which allows you to change the lighting in your rooms to a desired color or brightness from your smartphone. I believe in the not-too-distant future this will be pretty standard.

I’ve recently purchased two smart-home products to help manage some aspects of our home functions: Nest to manage temperature-energy consumption and a Big Ass Fan with smart features that integrates with Nest.

I currently don’t have any smart-home products. However, the Nest in-home thermostat and its CO2 and smoke detector are on my list. My house has a lot of windows and is weather sensitive so being able to control the temperature from my iPhone would be beneficial.

I have not, but I’ve observed the increased popularity of them in houses I’ve shown. I’m waiting for the technology to work out some of the bugs before getting it myself.
