I don’t know how many of you have been utilizing sites like VRBO and Airbnb, but if you haven’t yet you must! It doesn’t matter what state or country you’re travelling to – checking out vacation rental websites will never be a bad choice. Sometimes you can stay in hotel suites that people have purchased, get an entire home and property to yourself, or just rent one room and give yourself the opportunity to save a lot of money and make some new friends.

One feature that I never thought about utilizing from these websites is the ability to test out a Smart Home. We have all dreamed of those days when we wake up and want to hit one button to make the blinds lower so we can sleep the day away. What better time to actually experience this then when you are on vacation! You have the ability to play with a house-wide audio system, lighting and all of the entertainment equipment. Talk about living in luxury.

Sometimes it is hard to wrap your head around the convenience that a Smart Home provides. For those of us that like to shop around and make informed decisions after testing out ALL the options, renting a smart home is the perfect way to get a feel for home automation before making the commitment to install it in your home. Start thinking about your own Smart Home today!
