From outdoor lights and a video doorbell to a smart speaker you can hang on the wall, these are the products that can give your home an extra layer of technology. The best smart home products can make these things you do regularly even easier. The Nest Hello video doorbell, for example, will alert you when there's a package left at the door by recognizing its shape. The Phyn water leak sensor will keep your mind free of worry by letting you know if a pipe springs a leak in the basement.

Some of my favorite smart home products are the ones that work together. Having the iRobot app for vacuum controls can connect with an August smart lock to know when you're gone and when the best time to clean is. The prices listed below may fluctuate over time, but this is a great place to get started making your home smarter.
