Kasa smart plugs

We bought our first smart plug before Steve had ALS. We got smart plugs to get better control of our Christmas lights, inside and outside.  They worked great for this, and we continue to use them for that and accent around the house.

We are using smart house technology to give Steve more independence throughout the house. We use a combination of hardware and apps to make this work.

On a separate note, I have generally been opposed to smart house technology because I work in data and security and understand the risk. However, I realized that the benefit outweighs the risk. These apps definitely improved my quality of life. – Steve
