I had a session with GroovyTek over the phone today. It was extremely helpful to me because I was able to see everything that he was doing on my computer as he was talking. I was then able to follow his actions to do what he was doing as well. What a way to go!

Smart Home Devices
Have you ever longed for your chores to be taken care of without you having to lift a finger? Well, we are not quite there yet, but many devices can help make your household life easier. I mean, we even can make video calls on our big TVs like they did in Star Trek, so what else is possible?
Let’s start by talking about how to keep your home secure. Gone are the days of having to walk to your front door to see who rang the doorbell. Instead, you can have a video feed sent directly to your phone or devices like Alexa, with systems like Ring. As we move through more home devices, you can also connect most smart doorbells to other devices. Now with more intelligent technology installing security cameras is much easier. Whether it is looking outside to protect from intruders or looking inside and keeping an eye on your pets throughout the day, cameras can make your house way more secure. The good news is that many systems are cheaper now because of their popularity.
Living a much greener lifestyle can also be helped by some smart home devices. For example, changing out your old thermostat for a smart one makes it way easier to monitor your usage and optimize the way you use your AC or heat. They also can connect to your phone, so you can get the house all cooled down by the time you get home from a day out. Smart outlets might sound kind of nonsensical, but if you remember, the “Clapper” smart outlets take it a whole step further. Smart outlets allow you to control which outlets are drawing energy and when. So if you have an outlet that just has a blender plugged into it and you use it once a week, you can turn that off and not draw what is called “Vampire Power” from your electricity.
Have you ever wanted to be able to speak out your plans for the day and then it magically be added to your calendar. Today virtual assistants are not only on your phone. They are also tiny devices that can sit on your counter or desk. Systems like Amazon’s Alexa or Google Home can make your day-to-day life way easier.
At the end of the day, adding these smart devices to your home or your life is best taken in chunks; it is ultimately up to you what devices make the most sense. You can pick and choose what makes your life easier and what just creates more headaches. If you pick up any of these devices and want some GroovyTek help to get those set up, reach out and get scheduled today.

Client Reviews
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.

Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.

I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.

GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!
Margie C
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!
Laura M
I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.

I have always had the best computers that Apple offered, but the problem was that I never knew how to use them. Thanks to my GroovyTek trainer, my tech skills have increased exponentially and I am feeling more competent and confident with each lesson.

I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.

Today was my first experience with GroovyTek and it was extraordinary. I learned so much over the course of the hour AND as importantly fixed the problem I was having. The trainer was intelligent and friendly. All support was given in a very collaborative way. I am looking forward to this partnership.
