Power Up Your Smart Home With Affordable Smart Gadgets

The idea of a smart home never fails to fascinate, especially as a simple voice command to a smart speaker can get all sorts of things done in and around the house. But when alone (read no compatible devices are connected), these smart speakers could do very little apart from acting as your morning alarm, newsreader, music player, cab-booking device and a handy search engine to answer your queries. As for other household tasks like turning on or off air-conditioners and lights to switching on a coffee machine to scanning a baby monitor/ security camera footage, these gadgets must be able to communicate with your virtual voice-controlled assistant (they mostly do it over Wi-Fi). Home automation means some additional investments, but it will not cost you a fortune. Over the years, smart home tech has become more accessible and affordable, and you will find a wide range of pocket friendly gadgets which are Google Home and Alexa-compatible (including the Amazon Echo range and thirdparty speakers). Here is a look at the smart home buddies which are compatible with either of them or both.
