Smart light switches typically connect to your home Wi-Fi network and allow you to control them via a mobile app. Additionally, you can configure them to automatically turn on (and off) on a schedule. That could either be based on a set time, or sunrise and sunset.
Induction cooktops
Induction burners use the heat created from electromagnetic energy to cook your food. An element just below the surface of an induction cooktop creates a magnetic field. When you put a piece of cookware containing iron on top of that magnetic element, it causes a vibration of sorts that converts to heat through a series of magnetic interactions with iron (you can read more about the science behind induction here).
If you click (right) to shop the trousers you can also dress them up with a white blouse for a virtual meeting or make them work for a date night with a lace-trim camisole. All those looks for only £65 is a total bargain!

Many smart light bulbs provide the same features, with the added benefit of not requiring you to do any electrical work. Brands such as Philips Hue and Lifx are good examples. Just screw these bulbs into the compatible socket (lamp or fixture) of your choice, then set them up via their associated software applications.
Convection fans
Convection fans are built into the back of oven walls. They circulate the heat in the oven so hot air is more evenly dispersed, which means your food will bake more evenly. You'd want convection fans if you're baking food like cookies on more than one oven rack at the same time. Midprice ovens will have at least one convection fan. Some ovens have what's called "true" or "European" convection, which means there's a heating element that surrounds the fan that warms the air as the fan blows. Read more about the science of convection here.
Check out CNET's Zvox SB380 review to learn more. One big ding was the $300 price tag, but obviously $170 is a lot more palatable. That's why my dad is definitely getting one of these for Father's Day. He's constantly cranking the volume way up in order to hear dialogue, much to the chagrin of my mom.

iRobot's latest model, the Roomba S9 Plus, is particularly compelling. It does an excellent job of ridding bare floors and carpeting of both solid debris and pet hair. Better still, if you buy it with its CleanBase accessory, the robot empties its tray by itself, the contents of which end up in a handy pouch that can hold 30 bins full of dirt.
Get a smart lock
Some smart locks, like those from August, have their main, motorized section on the inside of your home. That means you can still use a physical key if you'd like. Other models such as the Nest x Yale Lock take the completely keyless route. Regardless, any true smart lock (linked to a mobile app), lets you open and close it from your phone. Given that your phone is clean -- or should be if you clean it -- you can come and go without manipulating the physical lock mechanism.
There's also a feature called Output Leveling, which prevents big spikes in volume (like when commercials come on or there's a noisy action scene). And I was able to "train" the speaker to recognize commands from my Roku remote, definitely a welcome option. However, there's no Bluetooth here, something to consider if you want a speaker that's good for listening to music when the TV's off.
Drop-in
Drop-in ranges are similar to slide-in models -- they sit flush with the surrounding countertops and all the controls are located at the front of the unit. But this type of range looks like you dropped it between two cabinets because of a strip of cabinetry you place beneath the appliance.
Get a 1-year Family Handyman subscription for $5
The quarantine life means you may have time to finally tackle those home projects, like installing slide-out shelves in your kitchen cabinets or, I don't know, building a gazebo. Over the years I've found Family Handyman to be an invaluable resource for stuff like that, and right now you can get a 1-year subscription for just $5. That's for either the print or Kindle edition. (My advice: go print, because then you can dog-ear useful pages or even rip them out to tack up in the garage, workshop, etc.
