Smart-home technology isn't just about comfort and convenience. Devices like water leak sensors, smart smoke detectors and motion sensors could also get you a discount on your homeowners insurance policy.
Discounts may range from 1% to 13% per year, depending on the company, the devices you have and where you live.
