Did you know Paris is called that because it was a place of enlightenment in the 18th Century and it was one of the very first cities to use street lights in 1889?

Holiday String Lights – Past and Present
The Lights of Holidays Past
Holiday Lights are a big tradition for a lot of people. When I was younger, my dad would go all out on the lights outside. And I loved them…. The sparkle, the brilliance, the joy it brought people! I just didn’t want to be a part of them going up! What a nightmare!

It took me a while to fully embrace the smart home automation trend, but when we introduced several new smart controls to our product line last month, it made me reevaluate my position.
Was my reluctance towards the smart home trend shortsighted?
I’m rather ashamed to say that I used to see smart home automation products and wonder, “Why in the world would I want that? Seriously, can people not flip a switch anymore?”
As the parent of teenagers, perhaps I’ve developed a growing resentment towards anything that allows the millennial generation to stare at their phone for another second.
