Apple Watch useful apps for home
In addition to your social media apps, maps and schedules, apps for Apple’s new smart watch include one from Honeywell that allows you to change your home’s temperature from your wrist (rivaling the Android Wear with Nest thermostat control), and another from Lutron offering light control. If you own one of BMW’s electric vehicles, your Apple watch will monitor its charge level and even remind you where you parked it. If your daily commute uses public transportation, the City Mapper app will keep you up to date on times and the right stops to get to your destination.
