While there are many custom smart home platforms, the most user-friendly and common of the commercial systems are Amazon's Alexa and Google's Home, with Apple's HomeKit coming in third. 

 

There are pros and cons to each system. For example, Amazon Alexa is compatible with many more 3rd party devices than Google Home (cuz hello, Amazon sells all of them),  while Google's smart assistant tends to be more knowledgeable (cuz hello, Google is the biggest search engine in the world!).  

 

Whether you choose Alexa or Hey Google as your hub of choice, we recommend sticking to one system to make it more streamlined at home.


 

 

1. First Choose Your Assistant, Such As This Cute Round Amazon Echo Dot

 

Alexa is a great little assistant that can do so much, with third-party devices and apps. Ask Alexa to play music, get the weather, enable timers, get candle lighting times and control smart devices such as light bulbs, locks, curtains, and more. You can also set up Alexa to respond differently to different people in your home, for example to children she will have limited capabilities and be in child mode. 




 

2. Or Go For Google Home Mini For Hey Google System

The Nest devices are also great and powerful, with Google being able to handle a lot more in way of information. Ask questions that you would ordinarily Google to get the most accurate answers. You can also seamlessly control Google devices such as Nest Thermostat, speakers, door locks, and more.

 

 


3. Voice-Activated Color-Changing Light Bulbs Are Awesome

Ask Alexa to turn on the lights in specific rooms, and even change the color with these Voice-Activated Light Bulbs. Get the party started here!




4. Google Nest Makes It Easier Than Ever To Control Temps At Home

With some installation involved you can have the Thermostat of your dreams - control the temperature with Hey Google, Alexa or via your phone app.


 

 


5. Set It And Forget it! Let A Robot Sweep The Crumbs For You

There are so many Roombas to choose from - but once you do you will be addicted! You can ask your smart device to turn it on whenever or schedule it to turn on with the compatible app. It's a great way to get those crumbs away while you're sleeping or out of the house!


  


6. Motorized Blinds Are The Future

Simplify your morning routine with these automatically functioning Roller Shades - set up a schedule to raise them in the am and lower them in the evening. One less thing to be busy with!

 

   


7. Any Curtains Can Become Automated With This Smart Gadget

If you have curtains that you love (instead of roller shades) this sliding SwitchBot can do the automation for you! Installs easily, and connects to its app or Alexa - you can have it slide and open the curtains to let in that morning sun.


 

  

8. Control Any Electronic Device That's Plugged Into One Of These Smarties

These are a given - control anything that's plugged into these Smart Outlets. So if you have a regular Air Conditioner, once you plug it into these outlets it becomes a smart appliance that can turn on before you get home. Or plugin some lamps around the home to be able to control them from your phone. The possibilities are endless.



 


9. A Smart Smoke Detector

From the Google Nest family of products comes this smoke and CO2 detector - which uses a firm voice to tell you what the issue is. People love the voice alarm instead of the grating beep beep sounds from typical smoke detectors.



 


10. Now You Can Stop Stressing About The Fridge Light On Shabbos

If you have a GE Appliances fridge you are in luck with this incredible gadget. Plugs seamlessly into your refrigerator and syncs up to your location to go into Shabbos mode - 18 minutes before Shabbos and Yom Tov, and turn Shabbos mode off after. All automatically. Set it and forget it! Never stress about turning off the fridge light again.




11. A Ring Is A Great Doorbell and Security System

Ring Security, including devices such as the Ring Doorbell, is an amazing security system for the modern time. Now you can see who's at your door from your phone, tablet or other screen device. You can detect motion activity, talk to people through the doorbell's speaker, and more. A great system to modernize the old-school doorbell.

 



12. A Ring Flood Detector Will Give You Peace Of Mind For Your Basements

Part of the Ring family of products is this genius device that can detect flooding or freezing. People swear by this appliance especially if you have a home or business that is prone to flooding, as it gives them the peace of mind, to stop thousands of dollars of damage or worse. 

 




13. A Smart Lock That Also Uses A Mechanical Key For Shabbos And Yom Tov

Smart Locks are great for getting into your home without a key - connect via app, code, or key fob. This lock is different than most in that it also can be opened with a traditional key, making it a great option for frum Jews for Shabbos and Yom Tov. 


 

  

14. Never Lose Your Keys Or Purse Again

If you are someone prone to misplacing their items, the Tile might just be the perfect accessory for you. Connect it to your keys, purse, or any item that goes astray at time and connect it via the Tile app to be able to geotrack it at any time.




15. A Baby Monitor You Can Control

Use the Kasa Indoor Security Camera in your baby's room to keep a close eye on them via app. With two-way voice control, motion detection, and Alexa integration, you won't miss a thing when it comes to your home.
