Smart home technology promises to make your living space more comfortable, more convenient, and more secure. We're here to put those claims to the test to help you find the right gadgets for your home.

What are smart home devices?

Smart home devices are responsible for ensuring that individual operations in your smart home run automatically or can be controlled remotely. This includes "smart" devices such as wireless thermostats or wirelessly controlled motion detectors, but also various switches and sensors that integrate simple household appliances into your smart home network.

The term smart home includes a variety of devices and systems that have the goal of improving your living comfort through automated operations. Innovative technologies enable networking, remote control and programming of all functions in a smart home.

According to the definition, a "smart home" is a generic term for various technical systems that pursue three major goals:

  • Improving quality of life
  • Increasing household safety and security
  • Using energy efficiently

The benefits of home automation typically fall into a few categories, including savings, safety, convenience, and control. Additionally, some consumers purchase home automation for comfort and peace of mind.

Here’s a closer look at some of the biggest benefits that home automation provides.

  • Savings: 

    Smart thermostats and smart light bulbs save energy, cutting utility costs over time. Some home automation technologies monitor water usage, too, helping to prevent exorbitant water bills. Certain devices even offer rebates.

  • Safety: Many home automation technologies fall under the umbrella of home security. Consumers purchase these devices because they want to make their homes safer and more secure. Automated lighting thwarts would-be burglars, and motion sensors help people enter doors and walk hallways late at night Security cameras offer benefits through either remote monitoring of package deliveries or real-time video of home inhabitants or unwanted visitors.
  • Convenience: Because home automation technology performs rote tasks automatically, end users experience great convenience. Lots of smart gadgets are compatible with one another, and you can set different triggers between devices to automate regular home processes. For instance, you could set your smart locks to turn on your smart lighting when you unlock the front door.
  • Control: Consumers also choose smart home devices to better control functions within the home. With home automation technology, you can know what’s happening inside your home at all times.
  • Comfort: Some people use smart technology to record shows or to play music throughout the home. Connected devices can also help create a comfortable atmosphere—they provide intelligent and adaptive lighting, sound, and temperature, which can all help create an inviting environment.
  • Peace of Mind: Finally, many consumers invest in home automation technology for peace of mind. A new mom or dad can check on their little one thanks to smart cameras and other technologies. Or, if you can’t remember whether you closed the garage after you left, you can verify remotely with an app.
