Smart home gadgets aren’t just for tech lovers anymore—they’re for anyone who wants life to be a little easier (or lazier, no judgment).
From security to convenience to pure fun, these devices actually earn their keep. Let’s count down the 15 best smart home devices that are totally worth it.
15. Smart Plugs
Want to make any regular appliance “smart”? Just plug it into a smart plug, and now you can turn it on and off from your phone or with voice commands. Perfect for lamps, coffee makers, or even that curling iron you always forget to unplug.
14. Video Doorbell
A video doorbell lets you see who’s at your door without getting off the couch—or even being home. It’s like having a personal security guard who never takes a break.
13. Smart Bulbs
Dim the lights, change colors, or set a schedule—all from your phone. Smart bulbs can set the mood for movie night, help you wake up more gently, and save energy.
12. Smart Lock
Ever leave home and wonder if you locked the door? A smart lock lets you lock and unlock your door remotely, or even set up codes for guests so you don’t have to hand out spare keys.
11. Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat learns your routine and adjusts the temperature accordingly, saving you money on energy bills. Plus, you can adjust it from your phone, so no more coming home to an ice-cold house in winter.
10. Smart Sprinkler System
If you have a lawn or garden, a smart sprinkler system makes watering effortless. It adjusts based on weather forecasts, so you’re not wasting water when it rains.
9. Robot Vacuum
A vacuum that cleans your floors while you relax? Yes, please. A robot vacuum can handle pet hair, crumbs, and dust without you lifting a finger. Some even empty themselves.
8. Smart Home Security System
A smart security system with cameras, motion sensors, and alarms gives you peace of mind, whether you’re home or away. Most systems let you check in from your phone anytime.
7. Smart Display
A smart display (like an Echo Show or Google Nest Hub) is like having a personal assistant on your counter. Use it to watch videos, follow recipes, control your smart home, or even make video calls.
6. Smart Light Switches
Unlike smart bulbs, smart light switches let you control multiple lights at once—great for overhead lighting or rooms with lots of lamps. You can also set schedules and control them remotely.
5. Smart Air Purifier
If you have allergies or just want cleaner air, a smart air purifier can track air quality in real time and adjust itself automatically. Some even connect to voice assistants for hands-free control.
4. Smart Garage Door Opener
No more turning around to double-check if you closed the garage. A smart garage door opener lets you open or close it from your phone and sends alerts if it’s left open.
3. Smart Kitchen Appliances
From coffee makers that start brewing when your alarm goes off to smart ovens that preheat before you even get home, smart kitchen gadgets take meal prep to another level.
