As smart technology expands, many people integrate connected devices into their homes. Some popular smart items include locks, video doorbells, light bulbs, and thermostats. As they experience the ease and convenience one product offers, they expand their home’s “smart” circle. In the process, they also end up with separate apps that control each device, a setup that can lead to frustration.
