Building a truly smart and well connected home starts with choosing the best devices, which range from smart speakers to smart lighting. For it to work for you, the key is choosing the right kit based on your resources, needs and preferences and knowing how they will work together smoothly.

 

The first device that you will need to invest in is a smart speaker that will allow you to control every device you have in your home using simple voice commands. Your main choices are Apple HomePod, Google Home and Amazon Echo. Once you have your smart speaker, you can start purchasing your other smart devices, making sure that they are all compatible with each other.

 

Many people invest in smart thermostats, which are designed to automatically control the temperature in your home. If you’re looking for the best one in the market today, the Tado Smart Thermostat is a good choice and is supported by Amazon, Google and Apple. However, Honeywell Evohome system is a smarter choice for larger rooms.

 

When it comes to smart lighting, you can never go wrong with the Philips Hue system because it offers the greatest range of bulbs and light fittings. It supports all major voice assistants and features LED light strips.

 

For smart plugs, the best out there is the Belkin Wemo Insight Switch while Nest Cam IQ Outdoor remains the best outdoor camera that can improve home safety and security.
