VentureBeat

If you've decided to upgrade or add some appliances to make your home a smart home, you might enjoy the added security you feel by knowing who's at your door, whether there's anyone in your house, or whether any alarms are going off. 

You also might be notified when your partner is about to burn the house down, or when your pet comes into frame.

Smart-home devices are seen as a way to turn our houses into 'homes of the future,' but there are some pretty funny side effects that come with them.

Here are some of the best. 

'Everything is fine.'

What kind of future would it be if you couldn't pinpoint the exact moment your wife started panicking about burning the bacon? We've all been there — but now your partner is notified about it in real time.

Just trim a bit off the sides.

Right before my flight takes off, I get a notification from @nest that my devices are offline. ????

Once I get home, a little research shows that the gardner cut it. ???? pic.twitter.com/eY52oBQmYG

 

The notification is coming from inside the house.
