START WITH THE ROOM, NOT THE BOX.

Make the pieces
work together.

Smart home labels can be confusing. Before choosing a device, think about the room, the people using it, your current hub or router, and how much data you want to share.

THE SMALL CALCULATOR

Estimate a light’s
running cost.

Use the wattage on a bulb or device label, your own hours-per-day estimate, and the rate on your utility bill.

Formula: watts ÷ 1,000 × hours/day × 30 × entered rate. This estimate excludes taxes, tiered rates, standby use and other charges.
OUR APPROACH

Helpful, honest,
interoperable.

Start with official compatibility details.

Hub support, radio protocols and platform requirements can change. Confirm them with the manufacturer before buying.

Keep privacy visible.

We call out account requirements, microphones, cameras, cloud features and settings that deserve a closer look.

No pretend live data.

Product feeds, current prices and affiliate links are not connected. No device endorsements or compatibility guarantees are being made.
