Smart Home & home automation products

With Smart Home (home automation), you can make your home smarter, more comfortable, and more efficient. Think of lighting that turns on automatically when you get home, a thermostat that lowers your energy use without sacrificing comfort, and smart security that keeps an eye on your house—wherever you are. In this category you’ll find smart products you can easily control via an app and often also via voice assistants like Google Assistant or Alexa.

What can you automate at home?

Lighting: dimming, timers, scenes (such as “Movie Night” or “Night Light”), color settings, and presence simulation.
Climate: set the temperature per room, create schedules, and avoid heating when it’s not needed.
Security: live viewing, motion alerts, and extra peace of mind.
Switching & energy: turn devices on/off remotely, create automations, and gain insight into usage (depending on the product type).

How to choose the right Smart Home products

1) Start with your goal

Looking mainly for ambiance and convenience? Start with smart lighting. Want to save energy? Explore smart climate control and smart plugs for intelligent switching. For extra safety, smart cameras and video doorbells are a logical first step.

2) Check the connection: WiFi or Zigbee

Many Smart Home products work via WiFi (connected directly to your router) or Zigbee (usually with a hub/bridge). WiFi is often quick to set up, while Zigbee is known for stable connections and an efficient mesh network—especially when you use multiple devices.

3) Think about expansion

A Smart Home works best when your products fit together logically: switches that start scenes, plugs that make appliances smart, and automations with schedules. Ideally, choose within one ecosystem—or make sure your platforms can work well together.

Popular Smart Home categories

Smart lighting – from smart dimming to color, scenes, and schedules.
Smart thermostats – comfort on your terms, with smart schedules and remote control.
Smart cameras – live video, alerts, and extra control around your home.
Smart plugs – make “dumb” devices smart and switch remotely or with timers.
Smart in-wall switches – smart control with a sleek, permanent installation.

Practical tips for a smart installation

Start small: begin with 1–2 rooms and expand once the basics are in place.
Create scenes: “Arrive Home”, “Sleep”, “Away”, and “Morning” instantly add noticeable convenience.
Placement matters: for security and sensors (if used), the right angle and height make all the difference.
Stability: with many devices, Zigbee or solid WiFi coverage (mesh) can be a game-changer.

Frequently asked questions

Do I always need a hub?

No. WiFi products often work directly via your router. Zigbee products usually require a hub/bridge. The best choice depends on the stability you want, how scalable your setup needs to be, and how many devices you plan to connect.

Can I combine Smart Home with my existing lighting?

In many cases, yes. With smart in-wall switches or smart plugs, you can make existing solutions smarter without replacing everything. For color, scenes, and advanced dimming, smart lighting is often the most complete option.

Is Smart Home mainly convenience, or also savings?

Both. Smart schedules, smart climate control, and smart switching help reduce waste. At the same time, automation increases everyday comfort: less manual switching, more control, and better routines.
