I 've been slowly building out my smart home towards convenience and energy efficiency.

Right now, I’m using:

• Motion sensors in the hallway

• Smart plugs to automate appliances

• Smart light bulbs and switches

• A smart door camera

• An energy monitor that tracks power use

So I own a small smart tech store so i test a lot of stuff… but this is how i use myself.

What are your favorite smart home devices in 2025? Anything you 'd recommend I try?
