>> SPACE-AGE GADGETS are sprouting up in every room of today’s smart home. Along with Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats, remote door locks and doorbells equipped with security cameras, a growing number of appliances and other electronics can be operated via smartphones, voice-activated digital assistants or wall-mounted control hubs. At the touch of a button, we can synchronize connected systems with our daily routine. Turn on the lights and coffee maker and play your favourite music when the alarm goes off each morning, or dim the lights, close the blinds and fire up Netflix in the evening.
