smart home devices

Voice-controlled household tech

Smart home devices are internet-connected household appliances and systems that can be monitored or controlled remotely, typically through a smartphone app or voice assistant.

The category includes thermostats, security cameras, door locks, lighting, and speakers: I can adjust the thermostat from my phone.

These devices often communicate with each other, allowing automation—lights dimming when the TV turns on, or doors locking at bedtime.
