VANCOUVER -- Parents and busy families are always looking for ways to save time.
As the holiday season takes hold life tends to get even busier.
Designer and lifestyle expert Tamara Robbins Griffith joined CTV Morning Live to share how incoporating technology in the home can free up spare time.
The busiest room in the house is commonly the kitchen.
Griffith recommended freeing up your hands with the U by Moen Smart Faucet. The faucet can operate via voice activation, an app, hands free or manual.
The voice-activated capability means it can follow specific temperature and measurement commands. The built-in wave sensor at the front of the faucet starts and stops the water flow with a simple hand movement without touching the faucet.
Families are spending more time at home and that means the living space is constantly seeing activity.
This can mean that Mom and Dad feel as though they are always in cleaning mode.
The iRobot Roomba s9+ Robot Vacuum is a great way to stay on top of life's little messes.
The Roomba s9+ Robot Vacuum offers 40 times the suction power to help eliminate debris and pet hair from deep within your carpets.
The Roomba s9+ Robot Vacuum is compatible with a Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal, which means it can even be equipped to empty its own bin.
The Roomba i3+ Robot Vacuum offers a more affordable option and still provides a deep clean of your floor.
The trend of going hands-free at home continues with the tp-link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch with dimmer.
Simple voice commands can be used to dim lights via any Alexa or Google Assistant. Lights can even be scheduled to dim at a preferred time.
To keep all this in-home smart technology running at its best, Griffiths recommended the tp-link Archer AX6000 Next-Gen Wi-Fi Router.
This new router helps with network congestion so more devices can run smoothly at the same time within the home.
Lastly, Griffith recommended the Alfred DB2 Series Deadbolt with Lighted Keypad.
This is a great way to keep your home and family safe.
The smart lock allows secure keyless entry to the home where you can lock and unlock your door with your smartphone.
Griffith highlighted all of these solutions specifically to offer families more time to relax together.
