By harnessing the power of AI, these devices can simplify daily tasks, offer greater control over your home environment, and reduce reliance on paid support services. We’ll also look at the upfront costs of setting up a smart home, as well as how these technologies could save you money in the long run by reducing the need for ongoing support.
