Must-Have Smart Home Features for Huntington Beach Homeowners

By Kayla Breneman, REALTOR®, Verso Homes Team Member

Living in Huntington Beach means embracing a lifestyle of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm. I’ve personally helped many clients upgrade their homes with smart technology, and the difference it makes in daily life is incredible. From managing energy costs to feeling secure while away, these upgrades truly enhance the way we live in this beautiful city.
 

Smart Thermostats for Climate Control

One client shared how their smart thermostat saved them hundreds of dollars annually by automatically adjusting temperatures when their home was empty. Being able to control it remotely means they never come back to a cold house after a day at the beach!

Pro Tip: Program your thermostat with vacation mode to maximize energy savings while you’re away.
  • Automatic temperature adjustments
  • Remote control via apps
  • Energy savings and bill reduction

Advanced Security Systems

I often recommend smart security for vacation homes in Huntington Beach. One family felt so secure knowing they could check live camera feeds from their phones while traveling, allowing them to truly relax and enjoy their trip.

Pro Tip: Set up alerts for unusual activity during your absence to stay informed instantly.
  • Real-time phone alerts
  • Voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant
  • Ideal for vacation properties

Smart Lighting Solutions

Another client loves setting mood lighting remotely to create the perfect ambiance for evening dinners or lively gatherings, all controlled from their phone.

Pro Tip: Use motion sensors to automate outdoor lighting for safety and energy savings.
  • Dimmable and customizable
  • Energy-efficient LED bulbs
  • Remote and scheduled control

Voice-Activated Assistants

Voice assistants have become a household staple for many Huntington Beach residents. One family I worked with uses voice commands to start playlists while cooking or adjust lights without interrupting their beach day prep.

Smart Irrigation Systems

Water conservation is vital here. I’ve seen smart irrigation reduce water bills while keeping gardens lush, especially during dry months.

Pro Tip: Pair your smart irrigation system with local weather data for optimal watering schedules.

Home Automation Hubs

Managing multiple devices can be overwhelming, but automation hubs simplify control. One homeowner set up a “Welcome Home” routine that turns on lights and adjusts temperature as they pull into the driveway — a simple joy!

Smart Appliances

Smart appliances save time and energy. A client once shared how their smart refrigerator helped avoid grocery shortages by tracking items and suggesting shopping lists.

Energy Management Systems

Monitoring energy consumption gives homeowners a clear picture of usage. Many I’ve assisted appreciate the ability to identify savings opportunities instantly.

Smart Entertainment Systems

Hosting is a breeze with smart entertainment systems. One family’s backyard movie nights have become a neighborhood favorite thanks to wireless speakers and voice controls.

Remote Health Monitoring Devices

Health-focused residents enjoy smart health devices integrated into their homes, providing peace of mind and convenience.
