Schlage Connect touchscreen deadbolt lock.
About a year ago, we installed the Schlage Sense lock at my house. We had a very easy time with the install and smart features' setup. As part of The Home Depot #smarthome campaign, we had a chance to try out the Schlage Connect Lock. Schlage makes three smart locks, and here you can click to see the differences.

With the Schlage Connect, you need an additional hub for the smart features to work. If you already have one of the compatible hubs in your home, which you can see here, then this might be a great lock for you. Check out below as we show you the lock install at Steph's house.

My very first smart home product was the Philips Hue Go, that I use as a nightlight as well as an alarm clock. I've added several Hue bulbs since then and enjoy the app enabled features, to be able turn the bulbs off and on automatically. I was thrilled to see this Hue Pendant lights on the Philips website. 

As part of the Home Depot #smarthome campaign, we are able to request additional items to install and review. I knew when I saw this pendant light that it had to be installed at my home!

I love the clean lines and the mid-century look of it, and knew it would be perfect above my 1967 Norwegian teak mid-century table.

Unboxing the Sensi wi-fi smart thermostat.
This year, we are part of The Home Depot #smarthome campaign, which means we get sent the latest smart home products to try out and share with you! 

When we received the Emerson Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Thermostat, we debated where to install it, as we both have smart thermostats already installed in our homes. I decided to try it at my house, as my Nest thermostat is 5 years old, and I wanted to see what this new technology had to offer.

We've now installed about half a dozen Ring brand smart home products at my house and Steph's house, although she has way more than I do (I feel like we need to remedy that situation)!

Ring has a variety of outdoor security devices to meet the needs of many homeowners and renters. There are models that are hardwired, some are battery operated, others plug-in, and some actually run on solar power! 

In this tutorial, we are replacing an existing floor light fixture with a wired Ring Floodlight cam. Click on the video to see the entire installation process.
