For quite some time now, luxury has been more than lavish finishes and designer furniture. It’s also about using the latest technology for maximum comfort and perfect indulgence in your home. If you are among the owners or renters of luxury Boston apartments who are looking for ideas on how to make their place more upscale, consider some of the trendiest smart devices for homes.

Amazon Echo

This is the ultimate gadget for automated homes so it makes sense to place it at the top of your shopping list. Amazon Echo is a Bluetooth speaker whose purpose is to serve as the central hub for all other smart devices in your apartment. It is powered by Alexa, the voice assistant of the brand. Thanks to it, you just need to tell your smart devices what to do and that’s it. Forget about pushing buttons and going through lengthy instruction manuals. It’s easy to setup commands with this advanced voice assistant.

Lutron Serena Shades

You can schedule when the shades will open and determine exactly by how much. This is a great way to get a gentle “wakeup” push in the morning and to ensure that you will make the most out of the rare sunny days during the winter in Boston. You will be able to control your shades remotely via an app even from the other side of the world. Voice operation with Apple’s Siri is also an option.

Somabar Robotic Bartender

You love cocktails, but you can’t put time and effort in making them, especially when you are throwing a party for your closest friends at your luxury apartments. Somabar eliminates the need for hiring a mixologist. Choose a cocktail from your app and you’ll get a list of the ingredients to add to the dishwasher-safe pods. Then the bartender will do the work for you. You just need to place a glass under the dispenser and wait a few seconds for the perfect drink.

Neato Botvac Connected

With this smart vacuum cleaner, residents living in Boston luxury apartments will never have to consider hiring a housemaid. It has a state-of-the-art navigation system which uses lasers to detect even the tiniest dirt accumulations. Then it simply goes there and removes them. Thanks to the U-shaped design, it does a superb job in cleaning corners. As its name hints, Botvac Connected has built-in Wi-Fi so you can take control over the cleaning via an app on your smartphone.

The only thing left is to let the coolest smart devices spoil you.
