Home Smart Home with Marc Saltzman

We are going from “Home Sweet Home” to “Home SMART Home” as the home continues to be the main hub for new tech and innovations introduced each year that can help people during their daily lives. Technology Expert Marc Saltzman and InTheNews.TV partnered with a handful of great brands to showcase new technology that’s making its way into the home this summer, and beyond. From new devices for the home and virtual office, controlling flying pests without insecticides, swimming pool robots, to the latest smart lighting – Check them all out below!

Three new tech devices you’ll want to add to help create a better smart home office.

Amazon Echo Devices – Echo Pop, Echo Show 5, Echo Buds

Echo Pop is a new addition to the Echo family in a loveable semi-sphere form factor. It features a custom-designed, front-facing directional speaker, delivering full sound that’s great for bedrooms, dorm rooms, apartments, or any small space. The eero feature is built-in, adding up to 1,000 square feet of coverage to your existing eero WiFi network.

Echo Show 5 combines the utility of Alexa with the convenience of a glanceable screen. Simply ask Alexa to watch the morning news, check Ring cameras, view shopping lists, or set a reminder to stand up and take a walk. This features an entirely new speaker system, for double the bass of the previous generation and clearer sound when listening to music, Audible, video content, or a podcast.

Echo Buds are wireless earbuds with a semi-in-ear design, built to deliver rich audio, long-lasting battery life, and hands-free access to Alexa. Just ask Alexa to make a call, cue your favorite music, or set a reminder while on the go. Features included are customizable tap controls, VIP Filter, and multipoint pairing, so the earbuds can pair and switch audio between two devices simultaneously.

It’s summer and that means doors and windows are opening more, so here is a smarter way to get rid of flying pests without the use of insecticides.

Raid® Essentials Flying Insect Light Trap

The Raid Essentials Light Trap harnesses continuous light technology to attract flying pests without the use of insecticides. Once attracted, flying insects are trapped by an adhesive backing hidden by the Essentials Shield. It is effective against fruit flies, mosquitoes, gnats, and moths and provides 24/7 continuous attraction for up to two weeks.

This summer, work on your tan and not on your pool…yes, there is a robot for this!
