We will update our recommendations to this list accordingly once we've reviewed the new devices, so check back frequently for updates. We got a first look at the new Echo Show 15, the Ring Alarm Pro, the Amazon Smart Thermostat and several more smart gadgets. Our reviews of Apple's new HomePod Mini, Google's Nest Audio and Nest Doorbell with battery, Amazon's fourth-gen Echo speaker and the fourth-generation Echo Dot are live, but there are many more smart home devices that have been recently announced that we will be reviewing soon.Īmazon also launched several new Echo and Ring devices during its annual fall product event on Sept.

Many, but not all, of the products on our list of the best smart home products will work with multiple voice assistants.īefore you dive into our picks for the best smart home devices, keep in mind that Amazon, Google and Apple have each released a new set of smart home speakers in the past year. They offer a convenient way for family members or roommates to interact with the various devices without having to manage basic access within each app. We tend to think of the voice assistants as the starting point for building a do-it-yourself smart home. Or you may be thinking about how to build on what you already own, like an Alexa- or Google Assistant-powered smart speaker, or even Siri and Apple's HomeKit smart home service.


You might just need one device to address a particular issue, like a smart plug to put a lamp on a schedule. If you're already connecting your lightbulbs, speakers, video doorbells, security cameras and more to the internet - or perhaps you've paid more attention to smart home gadgets since many of us are still working from home - you'll know the process can be complicated.
