5. Phillips Hue
As time passes on, our smartphones will likely be the epicenter of home automation. Whether it's the Nest thermostat, the Belkin Wemo, or the handful of Kickstarter campaigns such as SmartThings, people are clamoring for more integration. Philips is first to the market with the Philips Hue, a set of bulbs that are connected to your iOS/Android device and remotely controlled. Of course, they can be powered on and off, but the best perk is being able to set color temperature. For those of us who are trapped under the flickering florescent bulbs of the corporate workforce. You can adjust the temperature of the bulb to accommodate just about any tech activity you can think of.
