How to Set Up Your Smart Home For The Holidays! Home Depot Hubspace Haul

Guys, we're back at the Home Depot. Last time on the haul, we set up the ultimate smart home using HubSpace, the Home Depot's exclusive smart home platform that connects hundreds of different products in one app. But now the holidays are rolling in and my space is in desperate need of some cheer and maybe a few smart home upgrades to take my HubSpace set up to the next level. And something tells me we found the right place. All right, guys, check this out. The store just feels so magical this time of year and the Home Depot makes it so easy to find everything you need in one spot. Artificial trees are more popular than ever, but there are a lot of options when you're here at the Home Depot. What you're going to wanna look for is the Grand Duchess, if you know, you know. I think the hardest thing for me is deciding to go flocked or not flocked. I mean, this is classic, but this feels in trend right now. What would you guys pick? Your holiday yard decor is obviously very personal. You can do inflatables. Personally, I love these structured pieces, just like the three foot LED golden retriever with gift. I think that's another one we're gonna have to see at our home. Picking out our decorations was only the first step. The real magic happens when we get them all connected to the HubSpace smart home. We talked about this in our last video, but a little refresher. If you wanna start or grow your HubSpace home, you're gonna wanna look for products that have this orange HubSpace label. And I found exactly what I was looking for with these Defiant smart indoor plugs. You can get a single smart plug, or you can get a pack of four if you have a lot of different decorations to get hooked up. And what you're gonna be able to get with a smart plug is the ability to control your devices from the HubSpace app, customize your schedules, assign products to different rooms. That way, all your holiday decor is totally in your control. Side note, really great holiday gift and stocking stuffer. But we actually need some more options, specifically smart plugs designed for the outdoors. We have the Defiant smart outdoor two outlet plug. This will be great for those porch greeters, things that are right outside your door. But this one is really cool. This is what you're going to want for all of that yard decor. This is the Defiant smart outdoor power stick. It has six different grounded outlets, and that just gives you a ton of flexibility with however you want your outdoor scene to look. This is how you'll get not just power, but also HubSpace connection to all of your yard decor, whether it's those inflatables or structured pieces. What makes these especially great for the holiday times is that they're weather resistant, which means no need to be running out in the rain, snow, cold, to get all of your decorations powered on. You just have to use the HubSpace app. While we're here, we may as well make some super easy, smart changes to the existing fixtures in our home. This is the label to look for. And I think I want to pick up some of these B11 candelabra E12 based smart bulbs. Full color and shades of white, these would be good for a chandelier, maybe at the entryway or in the living room of your home. I'm thinking some nice warm lighting to really set the mood during those cozy holiday nights, but you also can have them be all different colors, reds, greens, blues, whatever is matching the vibe of your home this holiday season. I mean, my goal is to have every light bulb in my home be a smart bulb and outside of my home too. For outdoor smart lighting, we're shopping Hampton Bay. You guys know we already got these at the house. How about permanent light fixtures though? A one-time install and you have a premium lighting solution on your house all year round. String lights, also very popular during the holidays. You can use these inside or outsides. These LEDs are full color, but also have shades of white. So you could very well leave them up all year round. I couldn't help myself. You guys know in our last video, we checked out the Vasani Smart Convertible Chest, freezer and refrigerator. With the holidays coming up, I know I'm going to need food storage solutions. I am the hostess with the mostest. My family always brings over too much food. That's why this is going to be coming home with us today. Obviously, it's super neat that this is flexible between a freezer and refrigerator, but the reason I wanna get the Vasani one that's powered by HubSpace is for this smart alerts feature. If for whatever reason, the chest goes offline, I lose power in my home, it gets unplugged, I'll get alerted through the HubSpace app immediately. And that way I can take action before hopefully it's too late. Nothing's gonna spoil my holiday parties this year. If it wasn't obvious already, I really wanted to go all out this year, but also keep everything smart and easy to control. First up, we gotta talk power. I use the smart surge protector, which gives you a bunch of outlets, perfect for all those holiday lights and decor pieces that somehow always need their own plug. The best part is that I can control each outlet individually or set schedules so things turn on automatically at sunset. For trickier spots, I use those individual smart plugs. I can never have enough of these. Same deal, total control right from my phone in the HubSpace app. I wrap this absolutely gorgeous garland around my banister, they're easily one of my favorite touches here today, mostly because I can change the color scheme in the HubSpace app. Cozy white one night, candy cane colors the next. There are so many options. And I cannot forget that smart fridge slash freezer. This is a total holiday lifesaver. I can switch it between fridge and freezer mode depending on what I'm storing and keep track of all the food I'm planning for hosting. Finally, we had to take this outside. I set up my porch and hooked it all up to the outdoor smart plug, which keeps everything weatherproof and easy to manage. But the real hero out here, that smart steak outlet. It's a total game changer for my inflatables. No more running multiple extension cords or unplugging things by hand in the cold. Everything powers on together and it looks amazing. All of the lights, decor, and food storage are under control with HubSpace so I can actually enjoy the holidays instead of stressing. Now my smart home is officially holiday ready. Everything is glowing, connected, and under control. Thanks to HubSpace. And thank you to the Home Depot for helping me pull off the ultimate holiday smart home.
