WIRED FOR
COMFORT
(Right) Music is also accessible
poolside, where speakers that
look like rocks are tucked into the
hydrangeas. The outdoor lighting
can be turned on and adjusted
remotely, as can the pool filter; the
inset image shows how the latter
can be clicked on and off on the
phone. (Below) Streater’s husband
ordered the large projection screen
on Amazon, and with Apple TV,
family and friends watch movies on
it. The screen may be detached from
the ceiling, rolled up and
taken outside. The base-
ment also houses crafts
tables by the wall unit
area, and a chalkboard
— decidedly old-school
fun. But if an internal
door is locked and a
family member wants to
open it, she can unlock
the August Home smart
lock remotely with a
phone app or her Apple
Watch. ■
