The new Xfinity xFi #XfinityMoms

This post is sponsored by Comcast. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

We are all connected to our digital devices now more than ever. We rely on them for things as minor as a phone call to things as major as making sure the house is locked up tight and there are no intruders in sight. New technology is launched daily to make our lives easier and Comcast has just raised the bar!

Comcast has just launched Xfinity xFi, a new and personalized Wi-Fi experience that provides a simple digital dashboard for customers to set up their home Wi-Fi network, find their password, see what devices are connected, troubleshoot issues, set parental controls and even pause Wi-Fi access on their home network during dinner or bedtime. xFi gives customers unprecedented visibility and control over one of the most important technologies in their home. And we are excited about it!

The xFi experience can be controlled via a mobile app, website and on the TV with the X1 voice remote. This year, 86 percent of in-home broadband use will travel over Wi-Fi, and by 2020 Americans will have an average of 50 Wi-Fi connected devices in their homes. With this unprecedented level of Wi-Fi usage and connected device ownership, xFi simplifies the home network experience and provides many consumer benefits.

Instant Setup: Simple, easy setup of Xfinity Internet service and home Wi-Fi
Manage On Any Device: Take control with easy-to-use apps, the web, and X1 voice remote
Find My Password: View and modify Wi-Fi names and passwords
Name & Organize: See all connected devices and give nicknames for easy reference
Easy-To-Use Tools: Set parental controls and bedtime schedules for any family member on
the home Wi-Fi network
Who’s Using What: Create personal profiles and assign devices to individual family members
Text Alerts: Receive alerts when new devices join your home network
Pause With A Tap: Instantly pause Wi-Fi access on your home network, by device or user
Voice Control: Say “show me devices” into the X1 voice remote and see results on the biggest screen in the home
Monitor Activity: See who’s most active on your home network and when
Troubleshoot Wi-Fi: Identify devices that are not working properly and receive tips to fix them
Cloud Management: See and control your home Wi-Fi network from anywhere
Safe & Secure: First line of defense against phishing and malware

I had the opportunity to explore a home that was set up with all kinds of neat controls using the new WiFi system. And really, any home could be set up this same way.

The closets can have alarm systems:

The wine cases can have sensors so parents know if kids, or anyone, open the doors:

Here are some of the other great features that we saw during the Di Burno Bros lunch and the demo:
