Summer has finally arrived, and we're doing everything in our power to soak up every minute of sunshine: going on bike rides, spending days at the beach, and one of our personal favorites, hosting outdoor parties. Whether it's a laid-back barbecue or a full-on party, there's something special about gathering everyone together in these warmer months. Easy, breezy nights are summer at its best.
To take your summer hosting to the next level, look to Hubspace, The Home Depot’s exclusive smart home platform. The collection of smart home essentials – outdoor lighting, speaker bulbs, ceiling fans, and more –can transform your backyard into a beautifully lit, fully connected space. From ambient lighting that syncs to your playlist to quiet ceiling fans that keep guests cool even in the muggiest heat, each product powered by Hubspace is designed to work seamlessly with the rest. Best of all, everything runs through the Hubspace app*, so you can control your setup anytime, anywhere – no running back and forth required.
*Full features require Wi-Fi connection. Products must be in range for Bluetooth connection.
This convertible chest freezer from Vissani – powered by Hubspace, of course – lets you switch between fridge and freezer mode with your app. It has smart alerts if the device goes offline or experiences high temperature changes, and it will also alert you when supercooling or freezing is complete.
