We are literally living in the FUTURE! And I’m giving away $100 gift card to Sears so one lucky reader can buy smart products to create connected solutions in their own lives and homes. Hooray!
Did you know you can now buy wireless outlets to link up to devices and appliances in your home ?
Did you know that you can buy light switches and bulbs to automate turning on or off the lights in your home from an app even if you are thousands of miles away? Genius!
From light bulbs, to outlets, to doorknobs, to doorbells – it can all be connected to the internet – from where you can easily control them anytime, anywhere using apps, Amazon’s Echo, or specific websites. You can also connect your home to near endless access to streaming video and audio. And you gain hit your fitness goals by easily monitoring your activity and progress to your health goals.
Truly, when I see the smart technology available today and as we begin to incorporate more and more of it into our own daily lives and homes, I’m WOWED by the possibilities. SEARS offered us the chance to use a gift card to shop for products at their new SEARS CONNECTED SOLUTIONS website. SEARS recently launched a flagship store in San Bruno, CA full of the latest smart technology and has a virtual store, where anyone can shop their CONNECTED SOLUTIONS online. Plus, Sears is also expanding its smart technology assortment across hundreds of stores nationwide to bring tech to the masses and not just those savvy early adopters!
SEARS is all about helping regular families SIMPLY and EASILY connect technology and bring smart products into their own lives and homes.
Sears Makes Setting Up a Connected Home Easy
Sears Connected Solutions has the cutting-edge home automation products and services to streamline your routine, save you money and let you control so many of your home electronics from the tip of your fingers wherever you are thanks to wireless technology.
For me, shopping on the SEARS CONNECTED SOLUTIONS website was a fabulous experience as it was organized in a way to help me gain some enormous learning about smart products. Beyond just SMART TV’s and streaming awesome media or music, there are so many ways to incorporate smart tech into our lives.
Did you know you can even buy SmartGarage Doors, Smart Thermostats, or Smart Door Locks?
Shopping the website, you’ll see all kinds of categories from smart appliances to wearable fitness technology and more. I love that I could shop easily by category to inspire how I’d like to make my own home and life “SMARTER” from a tech standpoint.
Wireless Switches and Outlets
My husband suggested we buy a wireless switch to be compatible with our Amazon ECHO in our newly refinished basement. What I love about Sears website is you can sort which device you need your lights or appliances to be compatible with. This helped us decide on the Belkin WeMo Insight Switch which is priced at $59.99 since we knew we needed something to work with our Amazon Echo.
It’s now in our basement and we can chat with our Amazon Echo – who we call Alexa – to control a computer monitor that we have set up on the wall as a live picture frame that plays streaming videos. Amazing!
Honestly, we were able to set up this outlet in 5 minutes!!! Amazingly simple to make our home “smarter” and tons of the items at Sears can be set up in 5 minutes. Their store in San Bruno is actually set up like “rooms in a house” to showcase how different tech products can make your home smarter with various tech solutions that can be implemented in just minutes with the right product. So cool!
We have a computer monitor set up on the wall as a live picture frame that plays streaming videos. It’s plugged into our smart outlet. By simply saying ” Alexa, turn on the frame”, the Amazon Echo “talks” to the Wemo switch that turns power on the outlet that has a computer monitor plugged in. Like magic, it just turns on. Amazing!
Smart Lighting
It’s a GIANT problem in our house to get our kids to turn off the lights. We are constantly trying to save energy so we thought trying to install these smart switches and bulbs in our most “forgetful” zones would be the best way to integrate smart lighting into our home – and help us save energy. We haven’t set up the bulbs and switches yet, but Sears makes it so easy to figure out what to purchase. You can buy sets of smart bulbs and switches OR go with just a a super smart switch.
So when the kids forget to turn off lights in the basement we’ll be able to easily handle it from anywhere. Instead of yelling at the kids to turn off the lights, we can just yell at the light switch – and the lights will turn off!
We went with this Belkin WeMo Light switch for only $49.99 and plan to install it in our finished basement. LOVE!
Basically, per the Sears Connected Solutions website, I was floored to learn that this switch replaces a standard light switch in your home and can be controlled remotely with an Android smartphone or tablet, Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It works with your existing WiFi network and anywhere your smartphone or tablet has an Internet connection (3G or 4G LTE).
Woohoo!

What’s up mates, its wonderful piece of writing on the
topic of cultureand entirely defined, keep it up all the time.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance.
I must say you have done a superb job with this. In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Chrome.
Outstanding Blog!
After checking out a handful of the blog posts on your website, I honestly
like your technique of writing a blog. I saved it to my bookmark site list and will be checking back soon. Please check out my web site as well and let me know what you think.

to read everthing at one place.
Hi there colleagues, how iss everything, and what you
desire to say regarding this piece of writing, iin my
view its actually amazing in favor of me.
I believe everything said made a lot of sense. But, what about this?
suppose you added a little content? I ain’t saying your information is
not solid., however suppose you added a post title to possibly grab
folk’s attention? I mean Installing Smart Lighting &
Switches Thanks to @Sears Connected Solutions $100 Gift Card Giveaway #BringTheSleigh – Classy Mommy is a little plain. You
might look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write post titles to get people
to open the links. You might try adding a video or
a pic or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got
to say. In my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.
whoah this weblog is magnificent i like studying yur posts.

is a little boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create news titles to get viewers to click.
You might add a related video or a related picture or two
to get people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
It’s a wonderful tool for both owners and those looking to buy or rent.
If you are taking this as a serious consideration, you may want to keep
a few things in mind. That should be enough to give
the potential renter a solid idea of whether or not your
unit is what they’re looking for.
Of course I also pick up matching shower curtains and
rugs. When you do so, you will be better off financially
and increasing your credit score gives you a better chance to get a good
interest rate when purchasing your first home. That should
be enough to give the potential renter a solid idea
of whether or not your unit is what they’re
looking for.

今の職場の良いところ、変えたいところを書きだしてみましょう。次に転職することの改善できること、デメリットを書き出してみましよう。すぐに退職、転職した方が良いのかどうか、客観的に判断する材料になります。転職という判断が出たのなら、きっと今が退職時なのでしよう。次は、「失敗しない退職」を考えます。看護師は円満に退職できないことが少なくありません。最初に大切なのは、円満に退職するということ。その場の感情で「もう辞めます!」と辞表を叩きつけて、職場を飛び出してしまうことのないように。雇用保険や健康保険などの手続きもありますし、退職金、ボーナスなどのもらえるはずのものがもらえず、自分が損をしてしまいます。すんなりと退職の気持ちを伝えましょう。法律上は、退職の意志は、2週間前までに伝えればよいとされています。多くの場合は就業規則で「退職日の○か月前までに」などと 決められています。上司の都合の良さそうなタイミングを選び、ソフトに切り出し、退職を決意したことをはっきりと伝えます。様々な不満があったとしても、辞めるまでの数か月間一緒に働くことを考えると、不満を言うのではなく、退職してどんなキャリアアップをしたいのかといった前向きな理由を伝えます。

However, what about the conclusion? Are you certain concerning the supply?
This is the perfect webpage for anyone who really wants to understand this topic.
You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I
actually would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new
spin on a subject that’s been written about for years. Excellent stuff, just excellent!
If you would like to get much from this article then you have to apply such strategies to your won web site.
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a
blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you,
you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which
too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very
happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.
Quality content is the secret to invite the users to pay
a visit the website, that’s what this web site is providing.
