Oh! I have a universal smart remote to control my entire entertainment setup. Just one command... dim the lights, turn on the TV, and set the perfect ambiance for movie night. 😍

For a more connected and efficient home, consider starting with smart plugs to control regular appliances, a smart thermostat for climate control, and a voice-activated assistant like Alexa or Google Home to tie everything together. These basics can make your daily life more convenient and energy-efficient.
