How to Prep Your Smart Home Security for Hurricane Erin
As hurricane season continues, it's never been more important to protect your home from natural disasters. Part of that involves the basics, like shuttering windows and bringing in lightweight lawn furniture. But technology also has a key role to play. Since smart devices and DIY home security setups are increasingly popular, you should know how to use this tech to protect your home in a hurricane, even in the event of evacuation or flooding. Here's what I recommend. Read more: How Much Money Home Security Tech Can Save You Monthly: We Ran the Numbers Review the cellular settings on your home security system SimpliSafe's security base comes with an optional cellular module. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Hurricanes are notorious for knocking out power, which creates challenges for smart home devices that need Wi-Fi to control them remotely. Today's security systems frequently come with cellular backup options (as do more advanced security cameras). As long as cell towers in the region remain operational, cellular and battery backups let you control your home security even if everything else is down. The trick is that it usually costs extra, often with a higher-tier subscription package or similar fee -- think $10 to $15 more than you'd usually pay. I personally believe that's worth it if your area gets frequent hurricane weather. Check that your smart lock batteries are fresh Smart locks are excellent for hurricane security. John Carlsen/CNET Smart locks can usually be controlled by Bluetooth or a hidden key slot if Wi-Fi is down, but you'll want to make sure the batteries are charged and stay operational if you have to evacuate. If Wi-Fi does come back online after a hurricane, smart locks come with another huge benefit: You can control them from anywhere, giving access to family or neighbors as necessary, and making sure the door remains locked otherwise. Some locks use rechargeable batteries, but most need basic AA batteries. Set leak detectors in key spots SwitchBot's leak detector is a little larger, but Wi-Fi ready and easy to place within minutes. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Leak detectors are one of my favorite little smart home devices, wireless sensors with long-lasting batteries that use small completed circuits to detect pooling or dripping water around them. Leak detectors can then sound sirens or send app alerts to your phone, letting you know there's an issue. Sink leak detectors can spot water problems long before homeowners do, making them especially valuable during a hurricane. In case of an evacuation, they may be able to send alerts from afar if they detect water from a broken window or rising flood, providing useful information as long as they remain online. Keep your security cams out in a protected area Security cameras can give important feedback if you have to leave during a hurricane, as long as they're in a sheltered area. Arlo Today's outdoor security cameras are quite durable and can withstand all kinds of weather when mounted properly. In a hurricane, the main danger is flying objects like tree branches, boards or chairs smashing against security cams and damaging them. But if your camera is in a relatively safe spot, I suggest leaving it up and making sure the battery is charged. Keeping a security camera online can help you watch for trouble, such as looters, no matter where you are. You can also talk to anyone who visits your home through the two-way audio, even if you had to evacuate. Keeping eyes on your home (and any damage) is particularly valuable if you have a camera that can handle it. If you aren't sure, look for IP weather resistance ratings, like an IP65 feature. Set detection services through smart speakers Nest speakers can listen for sirens or broken glass among other emergency detection options. Chris Monroe/CNET If you don't have a house packed with security sensors on all the doors and windows, a single smart speaker can take some of the pressure off with a few useful abilities. Certain Nest Hubs and speakers can, with a Nest subscription ($10 per month), pick up key sounds like broken glass or an alarm going off, which could signify problems or issues in the aftermath of a hurricane. Alexa Emergency Assist is similar but can call for help with a voice command for around $6 per month. Read more: 6 Spots Where Your Home Security Camera Works the Best If flooding is a concern, elevate your smart devices Put valuable tech up high if you're worried about the chance of flooding. Lorex/Amazon If you live in a flood-prone area and know that nearby houses have suffered from floods during hurricanes, I suggest taking a few minutes to move your smart devices and home tech to the top of shelves or in tall cupboards to protect them from disabling water damage. That includes things like air conditioners, fans, robot vacuums, smart speakers, and home security hubs. Invest in a waterproof smart safe for the long term A waterproof smart safe is a must-have for hurricane-prone areas. Yale A hurricane-ready home needs a safe with waterproofing capabilities, where you can store documents, valuables, weapons and more. I have a list of my favorite smart home safes, with features like fingerprint access, app warnings about tampering and other surprisingly helpful bonuses, including waterproof and fireproof picks. If you want to be ready for hurricanes for years to come, it's time for a safe like this.

Best Buy's website will start selling sports apparel, Martha Stewart wares alongside electronics
People will soon be able to buy Fanatics sportswear and Martha Stewart cookware, along with all kinds of electronics, on the Best Buy website. The retailer announced Tuesday morning it has re-entered the third-party marketplace business. It's a low-risk, high-reward way for Best Buy to better compete with Amazon and other online outlets. And it more than doubles the retailer's product offerings. 'We're looking at the marketplace as a natural extension of the things that we bring to our customers today,' said Jason Bonfig, chief customer, product and fulfillment officer at Best Buy. 'It's a more holistic picture of what our customer would expect and how do we make sure [they] can purchase whatever they would like to at Best Buy.' The new marketplace also broadens the retailer's presence in categories where rivals like Micro Center excel, with a larger selection of laptops, gaming accessories and products from brands such as Razer, Microsoft and Samsung. 'The marketplace is really trying to find the balance of making sure that a customer can get what they want from Best Buy and it expands our assortment, but at the same point in time, not getting that expansion to a point where it becomes very difficult to shop our site,' Bonfig said. Analysts aren't confident about the marketplace's ability to draw in new customers and 'move the needle' significantly. 'Let's say it's furniture. If Best Buy hasn't carried that, then they're not going to be top of mind for someone who's looking for that type of product,' said Anthony Chukumba, managing director at Loop Capital. Best Buy opened its website to select outside sellers from 2011 to 2016, with about 200 sellers participating. However, it ended the program amid low sales and confusion over returns. A refined approach in Canada, launched in 2016, has been more successful: Third-party sellers now account for 25% of orders shipped on according to Jefferies investment bank. A U.S. marketplace, Jefferies said, could account for 14% of Best Buy's online sales by 2030, with commissions boosting profits starting this year. Best Buy declined to comment on when it would expect to see a return in investment. 'It's going take awhile for shoppers to realize Best Buy has the third-party items. So I think it's going take at least a couple of years for this to really ramp up,' Chukumba said. The new U.S. marketplace, same as Best Buy's Canada hub, is powered by Mirakl, an e-commerce software company that has also worked with companies like Kroger, Macy's and L'Oréal. 'Back when we sunset that marketplace, the market was in a very different place. When we look at our customer today, [they] are using marketplaces at a high rate,' Bonfig said. Other retailers from Amazon and Walmart to Target have seen success with outside sellers. Target announced plans in March to increase sales from its third-party marketplace from $1 billion in last year to $5 billion by 2030. CEO Corie Barry previously said Best Buy's U.S. marketplace will focus on new products and offer multiple versions of the same item, meeting customer demand for deeper selection. 'We can see that in customers who are searching our website and looking for a broader selection or looking for a broader quantity of products, and we just don't have them there,' Barry said on a March earnings call. While Amazon operates an open marketplace with minimal entry requirements for sellers, Best Buy, similar to Target, is taking a more curated approach. All potential sellers will be vetted before joining, which Barry previously said ensures 'the positive experience (customers) would expect at Best Buy.' More than 1,500 sellers have been accepted to Best Buy Marketplace, Bonfig said. The initial launch will include over 500 sellers. The retailer's selective approach and substantial array of high-ticket items may help maintain trust with consumers. 'They're experts, curating what kind of products they need to carry and how to put it together into a full-service package,' Hyunjoo Im, retail and consumer studies director at the University of Minnesota, said in a prior statement. 'The price may not be the lowest, but I know for sure that the product is safe.' The marketplace comes at a time when the retailer has dealt with a pickier consumer and a decline in tech upgrades after a boost during the pandemic, resulting in its annual sales declining over the past three years. Best Buy will report its second quarter earnings Aug. 28.
