5 Smart Home Upgrades You Can Do This Weekend

May 8, 2026

Your Home, Smarter

You don't need to hire a contractor or spend a fortune to make your home smarter and more efficient. These five upgrades are easy to install, affordable, and will make a noticeable difference in how your home looks and functions — starting this weekend.

1. Install Push-to-Open Cabinet Doors

Say goodbye to handles and knobs. Push-to-open magnetic latches give your kitchen or bathroom cabinets a sleek, handleless look that's both modern and practical. Our Smart Automatic Electric Magnetic Push Opener (Gray Black) and Light Gray version install easily on most cabinet doors and drawers. Prefer a simpler latch? Try the Magnetic Push Latch in Black Gray or Light Gray for a budget-friendly option.

2. Upgrade to LED Bulbs

Switching to LED bulbs is one of the easiest and most cost-effective smart home upgrades you can make. LEDs use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last significantly longer. Browse our HVAC LED Bulbs collection to find the right fit for every room in your home.

3. Add Smart Lighting Controls

Pair your new LED bulbs with smart switches and dimmers for full control over your home's ambiance. Whether you want to set the mood for a dinner party or automate your lights to turn off at bedtime, smart switches make it effortless. Explore our HVAC Switches & Dimmers and HVAC Wall Lights collections.

4. Set Up a Home Security System

Peace of mind doesn't have to be complicated. A basic home security setup with motion detectors and video surveillance can be installed in an afternoon. Check out our HVAC Motion Detectors and HVAC Video Surveillance collections to get started.

5. Protect Your Electronics with Surge Protectors

Smart home devices are an investment — protect them from power surges. A quality surge protector is one of the most overlooked but important additions to any smart home setup. Browse our HVAC Power Strips & Surge Protectors to find the right protection for your setup.

Bonus: Make Your Kitchen Smarter Too

While you're at it, upgrade your kitchen with the Kitchen Mama Auto 2.0 Electric Can Opener — a hands-free, automatic can opener that makes cooking easier and safer. Available in multiple colors including Marble White, Red, and Navy Blue.
