For its correct operation, it is necessary that all members of the household register their voice and face or else, they will not be able to recognize them or detect the real strangers in the house. Its cost is $1,449.
3) Ring Always Home Cam
It refers to an intelligent surveillance camera in drone format. Which has a T-shape (with the camera in the lower pole) and is attached to a structure made with four propellers that is located in the upper part. Thanks to this design, it guarantees great flight stability and can be hidden more easily while in its cubic dock.
Indeed, the "Ring Always Home Cam" has the ability to make a certain path inside the house while you are not there, in order to monitor everything that happens. For this reason, this smart device works like a watchdog and for an affordable price of $250.
One of its greatest advantages is that it has the ability to detect what happens after a certain stimulus, as long as the sensors located on Windows and doors are activated. However, it cannot go up or down stairs, but with a Wi-Fi connection it offers high quality images (1440p).
4) Echo Show 15
With a launch price of 245 euros, another of the products to build a connected home is the loudspeaker known as "Echo Show 15" that incorporates a new function called "Visual ID" that allows Alexa to recognize the data that is displayed on the screen and can even detect the presence of a human by walking in front of the device.
One of its best features is that it exhibits a 15.6-inch panel and this is an unsurpassed quality. As if that were not enough, it boasts a resolution of 1080p Full HD and thus, it is designed to display content from streaming platforms as sufficiently as possible.

Therefore, whenever there is any movement outside, this smart doorbell is capable of detecting it and also allows you to see via streaming everything that it captures by image. Keep in mind that, you can configure it to your liking, it works with Alexa and increases the security in your home.
6) Amazon Smart Thermostat
To support a warm home environment, Amazon has also decided to launch a smart thermostat that, with Energy Star certification, focuses on keeping the home acclimatized and energetically efficient. Additionally, it works seamlessly with Alexa to optimize the user experience.
That is why the device can be easily controlled using a device with Alexa and there is even the possibility of adjusting the programming manually ; depending on how each person prefers. Like most HVAC systems, it too operates reliably and efficiently.
Another interesting point to highlight about the Amazon thermostat is that it is suitable for any pocket, thanks to the fact that its price does not exceed 60 dollars and thus, it becomes a very affordable gadget. With this, it will be much simpler to configure your routines (such as, for example, turning off the heating at a certain time of the night and activating it in the morning at a specific time).
