As summer turns to fall and holiday gatherings inch closer, we can't help but ideate our dream hosting haven. One of our favorite spots to spruce up is certainly the outdoor setup. And nothing makes hosting easier than electronics (think string lights, ceiling fans, and seasonal decor) controlled right from your smartphone.
This leads us to our current obsession: The Home Depot's Hubspace technology. Simply scan any compatible smart product's QR code in the accompanying app and monitor all the settings from the convenience of your device. (Plus, you can integrate with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, allowing you to control everything in the home with just your voice.)
