What is it for? This will keep your temperature inside your house cool and controlled.
You should know that being too hot or too cold at home can lead to overuse of appliances like air conditioners and electric fans. That's where the CrabTek Smart Environment Sensor comes in, it can measure the temperature, humidity, and air quality inside your house. You can also see the data in real-time via your smartphone app, so you know when to open the air conditioner or the windows. Available at the Next Upgrade Shop for only ₱2,479!

What is it for? Fits any room design with energy-saving capability, and it changes mood lighting.
When it comes to lighting upgrades, you don’t need too many fancy fixtures right away. The Nordlux Smart Bulb is energy-efficient, and you can adjust its color and brightness via an app on your smartphone or just by voice command. You can definitely save on electricity consumption and create an ambiance that you like. Check it out for only ₱2,512 for three bulbs at the Next Upgrade Shop!

What is it for? This will help you monitor and control the power consumption of each appliance at your home! If you are wondering what appliances at home are “power-hungry”, well, wonder no more because the Smart Monitoring Plug from Simpnic will help you with that. You can see the real-time electricity usage of any appliance plugged into it, like your television, rice cooker, electric fan, and so much more. Also, you can turn it on and off even if you are not at home by using an app. You can buy this for only ₱1,135 at the Next Upgrade Shop.

What is it for? A smarter way of using multiple devices on a single power outlet extension.
Not all power extensions are equal, and when I say not equal, I mean that there are the ones that are smarter, like the CrabTek Smart Power Strip! It has four AC outlets and three USB ports–all controlled separately via app! It’s perfect for your home office, entertainment area, or kitchen appliances. The best part, you can program each outlet to work only when it needs to. Take it for only ₱1,408 at the Next Upgrade Shop.
Why is the smart upgrade worth it?
- Energy saving: Real-time monitoring equals less consumption
- Convenient: App-controlled equals no more “nakalimutan ko i-off” moments
- Eco-friendly: Less carbon footprint while using the air conditioning? Definitely YES!
- Budget-friendly: Smart today, save forever!
