It’s time to upgrade your home to a technologically advanced one by installing a few smart home gadgets. There are numerous smart gadgets on the market that can make your life easier, improve the appearance of your home, and even save you money. We’ve compiled a list of smart home gadgets that won’t break the bank but will bring an abundance of benefits to your daily life and make your house appear a lot nicer.


1. Smart LED lighting

If you still have halogen lights in your home, dispose of them and replace them with LEDs. LEDs use less energy than traditional incandescent lights while producing the same amount of light. LED lights, in addition to being more energy efficient, have a longer lifespan than halogen lights. This means that LED lighting will help you save money.

Some LED bulbs can shift color (RGB) and can also be connected to your phone through WiFi, allowing you to control the light with your phone or your voice if you have a home assistant device connected to the same WiFi.

2. Smart plug

A smart plug is a plug that you install in electric sockets throughout your home to manage and analyze power flow via an app. Smart plugs save energy by allowing you to turn off electronic devices when you leave the room or are not at home. Some electrical devices can continue to use a limited amount of power even when shut off (standby mode), and a smart plug allows you to turn off all electricity flow. 

Smart plugs allow you to turn off devices that are linked to the outlet that is connected to the plug remotely, which means you won’t have to get out of bed to turn off your devices. Some smart plugs will also show you how much electricity your electronic devices consume.

3. Smart robot vacuum

Vacuuming is something that should be done a couple of times a week in every room of your house to keep it clean. Robot vacuums have a few clever features that can save you time and inconvenience while also requiring less maintenance than a standard vacuum. These smart cleaning machines also use less power than a standard vacuum, making them an excellent investment. Some robot vacuums can also be connected to your phone via WiFi, enabling additional smart functionality.

4. Electric toothbrush

Dentists recommend using an electric toothbrush over an ordinary toothbrush because it removes more plaque and cleans your teeth more thoroughly. Electric toothbrushes will do most of the work and have been proven to clean your gums better and prevent tooth decay. Yes, an electric toothbrush is more expensive than a traditional brush, but consider it an investment. Electric toothbrushes are often made of higher-quality materials and will last far longer than a standard toothbrush.

6. Smart lock

Many people have upgraded their home locks to smart locks since they provide a key-free way to unlock their doors and can even boost the security of their homes. A smart lock on your door is far more convenient because it allows you to unlock your door by using an app on your phone, a password or other combination, or voice recognition. A smart lock will also increase your security because it will alert you if your home has been compromised or if someone is attempting to break in.

7. Air purifier

The air you breathe at home may contain toxins and dust that are not visible to the naked eye but have an impact on your health and life. Having an air purifier in your house will provide numerous benefits to your overall health. Air purifiers are ideal for persons who suffer from allergies or respiratory difficulties because they purify the air they breathe of pollutants such as dust, bacteria, pollen, and other allergens. Clean air will also help you sleep better, boost your oxygen intake, which will lead to a happier life, and even eradicate any unpleasant odors.
