Smart Home Wiring For Epic Sound!
As I’ve been reviewing my wiring plans for our new home build, it occurred to me that audio wiring is part of that overall plan, with integrated smart devices. We’ll have surround sound in our new home, including individual app and voice audio control in individual rooms as well as synced throughout the house - and outdoors. I’m excited about that as it’s a new home feature for us. And with the opportunity to run wire during construction we can do it right.

Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub
Part of the grilling process involves babysitting whatever you're cooking. But this smart grilling hub from Weber lessens the load, acting as a step-by-step assistant that sends notifications to your phone for every step in the process. So instead of making your next cook a full-time job, delegate to the Weber Connect for flip & serve notifications and alerts when the meat is at its peak — all while you take in the game or multi-task in the yard.
