Smart Home Features for Comfort, Convenience & Peace of Mind
Smart home technology isn’t just for the tech junkies anymore. Today’s systems are designed to blend seamlessly into everyday life, helping you stay comfortable, connected, and in control whether you’re at home or away. Many new homes now come equipped with integrated smart features, giving homeowners easy access to modern living from the start.
Over 60 million U.S. homes now include at least one smart device, showing how integrated technology has become in modern living. These innovations are no longer considered luxuries, as they’ve become part of what makes a home truly functional and future-ready. From reducing energy use to improving peace of mind, smart features work quietly behind the scenes to simplify daily routines and create a more personalized experience at home.
To see how these technologies come together, explore Smart Comes Standard® — Perry Homes’ exclusive suite of connected home innovations designed for comfort, security, and control.
1. Efficiency with Smart Home Devices
Energy efficiency is one of the biggest advantages of smart home technology.
- Smart thermostats automatically adjust temperatures based on your schedule, helping minimize energy waste.
- Smart lighting can be set on timers or motion sensors so lights turn off when not in use.
- Connected appliances and plugs allow you to monitor power usage and make small changes that add up over time.
Whether it’s maintaining the perfect temperature on a summer afternoon or ensuring lights aren’t left on overnight, smart technology helps make energy efficiency second nature.
2. Everyday Convenience
One of the simplest joys of smart technology is convenience. Imagine adjusting the temperature from your phone before you get home or unlocking the front door hands-free when your arms are full of groceries. With features like remote lighting, keyless entry, and garage door control, smart homes adapt to your routine and simplify daily tasks.
It’s these small, thoughtful touches that make a big difference in how your home feels day to day. Instead of juggling switches or keys, you can focus on relaxing, entertaining, or spending time with family, knowing your home is already working for you.
3. A Greater Sense of Security
Feeling secure at home is priceless, and smart technology adds another layer of reassurance.
- Whether you’re upstairs or across town, a video doorbell lets you see who’s at the door.
- Smart locks mean you can grant temporary access to guests or service providers without hiding a spare key.
- WiFi-enabled garage doors send alerts if left open and can be closed remotely.
You can check in anytime, know your home is secure, and even welcome guests safely when you’re not home. It’s peace of mind made simple.
4. Ready for the Future
Smart home technology is designed to grow with you. As new devices and systems emerge, a connected home provides the foundation to easily integrate future upgrades — whether that’s voice control, home monitoring, or whole-home automation.
Homes built with smart features today are already one step ahead, offering flexibility for what comes next. From evolving family needs to advancing technology, your home’s connected systems can adapt right alongside you.
5. A Home That Adapts to You
Ultimately, smart home features are about creating a living space that works with your lifestyle. The more your home can handle on its own—adjusting lights, maintaining comfort, keeping things secure—the more time you have to focus on what really matters: enjoying it.
Whether you’re winding down after a long day or hosting friends for the weekend, these features quietly enhance your home’s comfort and ease, helping it feel truly tailored to the way you live.

Making the Most of Smart Features
If you’re new to smart home technology, start simple. Connect one or two devices, explore their features, and gradually build your system as you get comfortable. Set schedules that match your daily rhythm, keep devices updated for security, and take advantage of mobile apps for easy control wherever you are. Over time, these small conveniences add up to a home that feels intuitive, efficient, and uniquely yours.
