But even with all these ways to add tech to your home, where do experts recommend omitting devices?
“I always love to leave my bedroom as a sanctuary. As much as we all love technology, it's also so important to be able to disconnect,” recommends McCarthy. “Keeping your nightstands clear of electronics will help you get a better night’s sleep and keep distractions at bay.”
Knobloch is also a fan of a low-tech bedroom, and works to minimize the electromagnetic fields in her family’s home. “Relegating most of the tech to the first floor of our home makes me feel better that we're not sleeping in a bath of wi-fi signals each night. And of course, having a wireless router like eero that can turn off the Internet at night is a big help.”
