 Top 10 best home gadgets

Star Trek has predicted it all: Resistance is futile; then I, Robot simply finish off the prophecy: Artificial intelligence has won, and the age of analog is behind us. Let everything you own—and possibly even yourself, in a dystopian cyberpunk future—be enlisted in the Internet of Things. We've already started easily with smartphones and wearables like smartwatches and smart glasses. But now you’re comfortable and have likely already taken it to the next level by connecting your kitchen to the Internet. Next, you’ll be ready for the final stage: Digitizing your whole house with a slew of smart home devices.

Google and Amazon have paved the way with smart home gadgets with their respective virtual assistants—Google Home and Alexa—whether it’s a smart speaker, smart alarm clock, robot vacuum, or AI-learning thermostat. The booming presence of smart home appliances proves that we as a species have succumbed to the machines; they cede us control via an app or our own voice, save us energy or money, and undertake menial tasks at home without rebelling against us. For that, we willingly give away our data to them. Below are 11 of the best smart home devices, from security-minded gadgets to better-living-minded appliances, that’ll really change our life for the better.

Call it the Roger Federer of getting your ass out of bed on time, or the Serena Williams of putting you to sleep. Loftier's smart alarm clock plus sleep assistant will get you to banish unhealthy sleep habits, like checking your phone before closing your eyes, with white noise, a medication guide, a music player, and soothing wake-up tones. It's the sleep-focused alarm clock if we've ever known one. And even though there is a snooze button, we doubt you'd need to use it often.

1: Indoor Wireless HD Security Camera

Discreetly erect one (or three, or five) of these wireless security cams to keep the bad guys from Us or The Strangers on their damn toes. They're powered by batteries, so those bad guys can't disable them by cutting off the main power. If the bad guys in this case just happen to be your pets, then it can record video clips and let you monitor your paw-y roommates. You can even get creative and customize what kind of movements deserve alerting—moonwalks, taps, renegade dance from TikTok, etc. (Simply speak through the connected device to make the last one stop for good, please.)

2: Lines Wall Lights Starter Kit

If and when every utilitarian device in your home is smart as a whip, move on to smartening up your home decor. Nanoleaf's Lines will put on a bespoke light show for you, courtesy of its configurable accent lighting—from panel shapes to colors—that makes for immersive high-tech wall art (which you customize via your voice or your phone). Or, simply choose from its pre-set "scenes" to view the RGB animations. It even reacts to the rhythm of your song of choice—wanna see how the lights will dance to "Turkish March" or "Stayin' Alive"?

3: Purifier Cool Formaldehyde TP09

Breathing in unsullied oxygen—or, you know, cooling yourself off with it once in a while—while getting a live report of your home's air quality? That sure as hell beats getting prescribed an inhaler. So quit sniffing and coughing and get yourself Dyson's purifier-humidifier-cooling-fan that can draw in even the smallest particles and pollutants from afar, then circulate and project cleaner air throughout the room. It's so smart that it does the sensing and adjusting on its own. But even if you have no idea what in the hell formaldehyde is, you can control the purifier via your app or voice to cleanse some more particles.

4: One Smart Speaker

We endorsed this speaker waaaayyy back in 2017, and nothing has changed since then—just talking about smart speakers. It's still got the best sound profile of any smart speaker on the market, so it's a great bang for your buck.

5: Wi-Fi Smart Lightbulbs

With an amazing selection of pre-tuned and customizable cool and warm white light settings, as well—if you really must use—colored LED settings, these smart bulbs are the easiest way to add some useful tech to a not-so-smart house.

6: Bike+

You have to realize that a Peloton is for you. Yes, you. The initial cost is steep, but at $44/month (split by however many people are using it), a Peloton is always cheaper than a gym membership. And classes go way beyond cycling now. You get access to thousands of classes with things like yoga and meditation or strength and boxing. See? Perfect for you.

7: Video Doorbell

For a doorbell, if you're just looking for something compact yet created with features to see who's ding-donging or monitor deliveries, Ring's video doorbell does just that and far more—with cool feats like motion detection and night vision. Once installed—which requires some brains and muscles—you'll be able to see, hear, and speak to anyone from your connected devices. It's your home, after all. Gotta know what's happening to protect it.

8: Nest Learning Thermostat

Maybe we should listen to SCOTUS and touch the thermostat less often. Google's smart thermostat gives you the reason. It learns from your habit to regulate the on-and-off schedules at the temperature you like. It can even sense and program which rooms should be in which climate and knows to turn off the AC when you're away from home. Once properly installed—some effort, of course—you likely will never need to touch it again, as the SCOTUS demands.

9: Echo Studio

For a one-stop shop of smart homeowners' delight, look no further than Echo Studio, the ultimate version of Echo Dot. It's likely the only speaker that sounds as good as it is smart, merging high-fidelity Dolby Atmos sound quality with, ta-da, Alexa. On one hand, its auto acoustic sensor ensures a playback that's fine-tuned to the room. On the other, it can connect to over one thousand smart home gadgets. Really, Echo Studio is as smart-home-living as smart home living gets.

10: Arc Soundbar

Being an Esquire Gadget Awards winner that can amplify spatial audio layers throughout the room as you binge-watch House of the Dragons or Only Murders in the Building has gotten Sonos' Arc soundbar to this list—and many more. It maps out that room’s acoustics first to decide whether to reduce echo and sound swallowing, then replicate a surround sound system for 3D experience if needed. Even if your entertainment center only includes a "me" time Spotify playlist, the Arc can help elevate that as well. Bonus to its sleek round-cornered design.
