10 Of The Best Smart Home Gadgets

Introduction

If you’re looking to smarten up your home, these products make it easy. Here are our picks for the best smart home gadgets.

Smart doorbells

Smart doorbells are a great way to make your home safer, and they’re also nice to have if you live in an area where there aren’t any street lights. Most smart doorbell systems can be installed by yourself or with the help of an electrician, but some require professional installation.

  • Video doorbells: These devices let you see who’s at your front door through an app on your phone or tablet. They’re available in both wired and wireless versions, so be sure to get one that works with your system before purchasing it!
  • Audio-only: For those who don’t want video cameras hanging out on their porch all day long (or night), audio-only models may be more appropriate for them–and their privacy concerns! These units will still capture sounds from outside that might otherwise go unheard inside homes like yours where doors close off most noises from passersby walking down sidewalks nearby; they’ll send alerts when someone rings the bell button mounted near each entranceway too so homeowners never miss important visitors calling ahead before visiting them at home.”

Smart thermostats

Smart thermostats are a great way to keep an eye on your home’s temperature while you’re away. They allow you to control the temperature from anywhere, whether it be through the app or with voice commands. The Ecobee4 can even learn how long it takes for your house to heat up and cool down over time so that it can automatically adjust its settings based on when someone is likely to be home or away.

Smart locks are another good option if you want something more secure than traditional keypad locks but don’t want something as expensive as a home security system (like these). If someone tries picking up one of these smart locks with their own key, they’ll get an alert telling them that the lock has been changed–and then they have 30 seconds before another alert goes off telling them that their access has been revoked completely!

Smart smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

A smart smoke detector is a device that detects smoke in your home and alerts you to the danger. Similarly, a carbon monoxide (CO) detector monitors for this poisonous gas, which can kill you if undetected for too long.

Smoke detectors are essential for residential homes, as they can be very helpful when it comes to saving lives from house fires or other emergencies caused by fire–which is why it’s important that you have one installed in every room of your home! They’re also great for detecting smaller fires before they become larger ones; some models even come with fire extinguishers built right into them so that when something catches on fire in your house, you’ll know about it immediately!

If you want something more advanced than just an ordinary smoke detector though…there are plenty of options out there too! For example: some smart detectors will send alerts straight to your phone so that even if there’s no power outage (or if there happens not be any other reason why traditional alarms wouldn’t work), then someone will still know what’s going on right away–and could potentially help put out those flames before anything gets worse than it already has been.”

Smart water leak detectors

Water leak detectors are a great way to detect water leaks in your home. If you have one of these devices, you can rest assured that if there’s a problem with your plumbing, it will let you know.

Water leak detectors are a great way of keeping an eye on things and making sure everything is working properly. They’re also very useful for people who live alone or who don’t want to get involved with maintenance tasks like checking for leaks regularly.

Smart pet feeders

If you have a pet, then you know how difficult it can be to get them fed at the right time. While they may be willing to wait for their food in exchange for attention or affection, it’s better if they don’t have to starve themselves while waiting around all day. This is where smart pet feeders come in handy: these devices automatically dispense food when programmed by the owner via smartphone or tablet. Some models even allow users to set up recurring feedings based on weight, type of food (or even flavor), and other parameters so that pets never go hungry!

Smart lights and switches

Smart lights and switches are some of the easiest smart home devices to install and use. They can be controlled from your phone, by voice, or by other smart home devices. For example:

  • You can turn on your lights with an app on your phone.
  • You may also be able to control them with Alexa or Google Home (if you have one).
  • If there’s a hub in your house that controls all the other devices (like Wink), then it will likely be able to control these too!

Smart home security systems

Smart security systems are another great option for your smart home. These can be used to monitor your home while you are away, and have a number of other uses as well. If you’re worried about pets or children being left alone in the house for too long, smart security systems can alert you when they’ve been left alone for too long. Smart water sensors will also let you know if there is any leaking or flooding going on within your house while it’s empty (or before it becomes an emergency).

Smart energy consumption is another important aspect of smart home technology that many people overlook when they first start thinking about upgrading their homes with this kind of technology. While most people don’t consider themselves “environmentally friendly”, it’s still important to consider how much energy we use every day because this affects our planet in many ways including climate change which could result in rising sea levels due to melting glaciers around the world!

Robotic vacuums

Robotic vacuums are great for cleaning hardwood floors and carpets, but if you have a lot of rugs, it’s best to stick with the old-fashioned way of sweeping and mopping.

Video surveillance cameras

Video surveillance cameras are a smart home gadget that you can use to keep an eye on your property and loved ones. They’re also great for monitoring pets while they’re at home alone, or keeping an eye on your pet sitter if you have someone coming over who may not be trustworthy.

The first thing to know about video surveillance cameras is that there are two types: wired and wireless. The second thing is that all of them require some sort of subscription service in order to work properly–you need to pay monthly fees for cloud storage space as well as any additional features (such as real-time streaming). Some companies offer introductory rates for new customers or special offers when buying multiple devices in one purchase; others charge an annual fee instead of monthly ones so there’s no risk involved if something goes wrong with one device but not another within six months’ time frame from purchasing date/purchase date + 30 days before expiration date). Both options have their benefits depending on what exactly it is you want out of this product category overall–so do some research first before committing yourself fully!

Conclusion

We hope that this list has helped you find some great smart home gadgets to add to your own home. There are so many options out there, but these 10 items are sure to make life easier and more convenient for everyone involved!
