If you're an avid Homes & Gardens reader, you likely favor Christmas decor ideas that show character, heart, and heritage, evoking nostalgia for holidays past. However, that doesn't mean your tech should also feel like it could be from holidays past. After all, don't you want the ease and convenience of controlling your lights from your phone, swapping them from warm to cool depending on your mood?
That's where Hubspace, The Home Depot's exclusive smart home platform, comes in. Thanks to the brand's smart plugs, lights, and outlets, you can make any compatible decoration smart without compromising style. Read on to learn how to simplify your holidays with these smart product and decor pairings, courtesy of The Home Depot.
A twinkling Christmas garland is perfect for laying over a mantle, looping through a staircase, or hanging over a doorway. This 9-foot garland from The Home Depot comes conveniently pre-lit with 100 fair lights — and when you plug it into the Defiant Indoor Smart Plug Powered by Hubspace, you can control it from your Hubspace app. You can turn the lights on or off through the app or by voice control, or use the timer function for added ease and flexibility. Just set the garland to switch off during the day to conserve energy, and re-light in time for your arrival back home in the evenings.
Add this pack of two pre-lit Balsam faux trees to either side of your front door to greet guests in style. The trees are dressed with over 100 color-changing micro fairy LEDs that you can operate from your phone once you plug them into the Defiant 15-Amp Outdoor Plug Powered by Hubspace. This particular plug is made to withstand the elements, meaning snow, rain, and sleet won't cause your lights to flicker. If you plan to perch the trees indoors, grab the Commercial Electric 3 ft. 4-Outlet White Surge Protector Smart Powered by Hubspace. It has four independently controlled outlets and two USB ports, so you can plug in up to six products powered by Hubspace and control them separately for a customized experience.
Boost your curb appeal with this 12-foot pre-lit glowing tree that shines with over 1,183 multi-colored LED lights. Once you secure it in place with the Smart Outlet Power Stake Timer Powered by Hubspace, you can connect to the Hubspace app and schedule your lights to turn on as the sun dips down. The 4-foot power cord gives you plenty of space to move your tree around, and the power stake has two additional outlets to plug in other decor.
If you're searching for a faux tree that looks anything but fake, look no further. This pre-lit 7.5-foot faux tree with a nostalgic and timeless noble fir silhouette comes with 2,825 realistic branch tips and 700 color-changing bulbs. Plug it into the Defiant Smart Plug Powered by Hubspace to dim, time, or change your lights using the mobile app. This plug is also stackable, meaning you won't lose precious outlet space.
