5 devices with which you can quickly make your home smart

When you think of smart home, you may think of a hypermodern house in which everything is automatic. Just clap your hands and the light goes out and you say something to the television and it pops up, while a robot shakes a cocktail for you. Yet it really doesn’t have to be so ‘house of the future’. With these five devices you can already call your house a smart home.

1. Smart doorbell

There are several smart doorbells on the market: wired and unwired. The advantage of a wired doorbell is that it can continue to make the sound of your existing doorbell, for example. However, the advantage of an unwired copy is that it can, for example, go into the spy of your door without having wires hanging in the way.

A smart doorbell is not only a doorbell, but also a camera and often also offers a two-way communication system. This allows you to have a conversation with the person at the door, who you can also see. Examples of smart doorbells are Google Nest and Ring Doorbell.
