There’s no shortage of things you can do to make your house a home. The perfect sectional, a carefully curated cabinet of mugs, just the right number of throw pillows – ironing out decor details can make you feel more connected to your home.

But how do you make your home more connected to you? Investing in the right types of smart home technology can bring you a few steps closer to perfecting your pad. Best Buy can help you pick the right tech tools to make your home smarter, and your life easier.

The first step to connected living: WiFi

The world was blessed with the first prototype of the internet in the 1960s. In the '90s we were introduce to WiFi. Today, we have eero - a sleek, simple, and secure router that uses next-generation mesh network technology, meaning this smart little box can optimize your WiFi through machine learning and dynamic routing.

Boost your connectivity

The eero Beacon will boost your connectivity by up to 1500 square feet. Plus, this cutting edge tech tool doubles as a nightlight.

This 3-pack of eero mesh Wi-Fi systems can provide seamless connectivity throughout your home, so you don't all have to cram into the same room for that video call.

Get smart with sharper senses

Part of being a homeowner or renter is an underlying urge to know what's happening when you're not around. Ring's Spotlight Cam allows you to look, listen, and even speak, all from the ring app.

Modernize your chargers

Since the Ring Spotlight Cam is battery-powered, you don't have worry about unsightly wires. And with this solar panel charger, you can have continuous monitoring without having to break out the ladder.

Always know who's there

Ring's 1080p high-def doorbell camera allows you to view visitors from your smartphone. If you're not around (physically or digitally), Ring also offers cloud recording, so you can review missed connections.

Double up on batteries

Make sure your security systems are always on alert with an extra battery pack. Ring's rechargeable microUSB battery works with most Ring products.

Let the robots do the dirty work

Of all the products that have become "hands-free," vacuums are definitely among the most helpful. Shark's self-emptying vacuum, rechargeable base, and self-cleaning brushroll makes this robot a borderline genius. You can let these babies roam wild, or, for an extra-connected cleaning experience, the SharkClean™ app lets you choose which areas of your home you want to focus on.
