Smart home gadgets are no longer just for the movies – or super-larney houses in upmarket codes. With fast home internet becoming more available than ever before, these home accessories have gone mainstream. And with eye-catching designs making them as much about style as functionality, you can bring a stylish high-tech upgrade to every part of the house.
Smart Home Gadgets for the Kitchen
If you think your kitchen doesn’t need a smart upgrade, these nifty appliances might change your mind.

Just add your ingredients, control it via the smartphone app or with voice commands through your home assistant, and show up at suppertime to enjoy a meal that’s lower in fat and cooked to perfection.
Siemens EQ700 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine: With the aromaSelect feature letting you customise your taste (mild, balanced or distinctive), and Home Connect integration, you can wake up to a perfectly brewed cup every morning.
Smart Gadgets for Cleaning
Of all the smart home gadgets out there, ones that will do your chores should be top of the list.

LG WashTower: Designed to save space and avoid laundry mishaps, it’s a stacked washer and dryer combo with the controls for both in the centre within easy reach. But the real convenience is that it detects fabrics and adjusts the settings accordingly.
Smart Lighting
Make a statement with lightning that adjusts to your mood, needs and whims.
Govee Aura Smart Table Lamp: This is a prime example of how smart home gadgets can be equally fun and functional. It’s a lamp, décor piece, creative outlet and soothing device all in one.

Intelligent Security Upgrades
Smart home gadgets protect your property while minimising the nuisance of false alarms.
