Almost everything in your home, from lights and thermostats to door locks and security cameras, can now be connected to the internet. With a few taps on an app or a voice command you can turn down your heating, let visitors into your home or check for leaks. But while many of these gadgets appear to be simply a way to impress visitors (“Hey Google, dim the lights and play some romantic musicâ€), others can save you money. And at a time when many of us are working from home and running up bills during the day, this is likely to be their biggest selling point.
