4 Best Bluetooth Devices For Your Android

Your Android phone is fast becoming your best key into the Internet of Things. It can link you to objects that you can connect to your smartphone or computer to improve your life. Your Android phone’s Bluetooth can unite you with a whole world of Internet-enabled objects you never knew existed. But be sure to turn your Bluetooth off when you’re not using it. Here are four of our favorite Bluetooth gadgets for Android.

August Door Lock

The August Door Lock means that you’ll never have to search for your keys when you get near your front door. Instead, the device uses your phone to unlock a deadbolt when you’re in range of your front door. It also lets you send limited-time access codes to your friends, family, or service providers, so you don’t have to leave them physical keys.

Tempo Thermometer

If you need to measure temperatures over long periods of time, a Tempo thermometer might be the answer to your prayers. Simply install the thermometer wherever you need it and it gives you temperature data for 24 hours. You can also set alerts to let you know when the temperature gets too hot for your pets or too cold for your plants.

94Fifty Men’s Basketball

Want to improve your basketball game? This Bluetooth-connected basketball can help. The 94Fifty basketball monitors all the stats you need to improve your game, from how many times you dribble to the force of your spin. After you’ve finished a game, you can check out the data on your smartphone to figure out where you’re excelling and where you need work.

Whistle Dog Activity Tracker

While you might be tracking your fitness levels all over the place, you probably don’t have that same information about your dog. That’s where Whistle’s collar attachment comes in. You can use the Whistle app to see how much activity your dog is getting and then compare your pooch’s fitness level to that of other dogs of his or her breed and age.

To make your Bluetooth-enabled device run smoothly, you want to make sure your Internet speed is as fast as it can be. That’s where PSafe Total comes in. PSafe’s Internet Booster feature closes extra applications running on your device so you can browse without any lag time. At the same time, you’ll use your data more efficiently. PSafe is free and downloads automatically, so there’s no reason not to try it out.
