In our weekly "House Rules" series, sponsored by Chase Home Lending, hosts Kristen Scholer and Tim Stenovec explore what technology goes into a "smart home." Victoria Song, Analyst of Wearables and Smart Home at PCMag.com, joins Cheddar to give advice on that "smart home" starter kit. Tech-savvy millennials drive this trend of technology within the home.

Plus, what should be in your smart home starter kit? Song says an Amazon Echo or Google Home, Philips Hue Starter Kit, a Nest Learning Thermostat, and a Eufy Robovac. Together, those products cost around $1,000.
