Coolest Smart Home Devices

One of the best smart home devices you can get. Or should I say must get. It should become a standard in every home. Smart algorithm to control temperature, scheduling, and maximize energy savings!

I like the thermostat. It does everything I need it to, and I really like that it integrates with my Alexa devices to enhance my smart home experience.

We use the HomePods to voice control our smart home devices and play music in multiple rooms, and they work great.

It was easy to install and setup. I have it running in a smart home with 40+ other smart devices. One thing I wish it could do is control those other devices through its touch interface. Overall it’s a great product. Be careful when purchasing though. I decided to do an ecobee light switch with Alexa, it wasn’t compatible with my home so I ended up wishing I had purchased the 4. Also, the one I purchased didn’t include extra sensors. This is all my fault of course, but think it through and prepare so you get what’s best for you.

After successfully using the Kasa 6 port HS-300 for a year, I decided to try these EP25 Smart Plugs. I want all of my smart plugs to have the energy/power monitoring feature. I am very happy that the EP25 plugs can work simultaneously with the Kasa app, the Apple Home app and also with Home Assistant! When I turn an EP25 on or off in any of those 3 controllers, the change is reflected in all 3 controllers in less than 1 second. The Apple Home app is the simplest way for non-tech people in my family to control these smart plugs. Kasa app is also very easy to use and provides power information. The Home Assistant is very powerful and customizeable and provides an incredible amount of information about these devices which is useful for people who really want to learn the finer points of home automation functions. I expect to buy more of these EP25 smart plugs. I have owned various TP-Link devices during the past 20 years and found them to be reliable, affordable and well designed. These EP25 devices live up to my expectations.

After adding in quite a few smart home devices along with the normal amount of phones, tablets and computers we knew it was time to upgrade our wi-fi. Having the mesh system is giving us incredible consistency across our home and all of our devices and we saw an instant speed boost compared to our old modem/router. Really happy with this purchase!

I’ve had the Comcast router for I don’t even know how long. I’m a gamer and I also have a smart home with 10 devices connected in my network at the same time. So far this router has held up very effectively and I am extremely glad I purchased this device and got rid of my rental. It’s a buy for me.

I recently replaced all of my “consumer” equipment with Ubiquiti equipment. It was the best decision I have made in awhile. I have a lot of smart home devices and it was never fully stable until now.

Hadn't had any audio dropouts, but since our burgeoning smart home is full of wifi using devices, made sense to get Sonos onto its own network.

I don't write many reviews unless something is very good, or very bad. This mesh system is VERY good! I live in a 3000 sq ft home with a router on one end. The other end of our home had very weak WiFi coverage. I have tried a multitude of extenders over the years with very poor results. I paired this 2-pack with an additional XE75 Pro 1-pack and I now have full WiFi signal strength throughout my home. My home also has 30 smart devices and smart plugs on 2.4 GHz, so there was some concern with them working with this setup. The app allows setting these devices up on a separate IoT network, so they work flawlessly without having to switch back and forth between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (it's not as complicated as it sounds). Additionally, I'm in a very rural area with no cellular coverage. The range of these units it's so good, I can now venture out in the yard and maintain WiFi connection. It's rare that something like this just works out of the box, but TP-Link nailed this one.
