A home office not only negates the need of a time- and cost-consuming commute, but also provides a more relaxed working environment and allows for more control on conditions that suit you. Of course, the ideal home office space requires the right equipment that you can use so that you can stay connected with management and co-workers 24/7 and also makes sure that there are little to no distractions that can affect your productivity. In this case, these come in the form of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including smart home devices such as those with Amazon's Alexa smart assistant, which lets you control almost everything using only the sound of your voice.
