The Best Smart Home Devices For 2022
                     THE BEST SMART HOME 
DEVICES FOR 2022
GOOGLE NEST 
THERMOSTAT
• If you've got central air and heating, you've 
surely seen the huge spikes you'll sometimes 
get in your power bill. 
• A smart thermostat can help you manage the 
indoor climate with a little extra finesse, so 
you can hopefully avoid watching the furnace 
burn through your budget.

SONOS ONE
• The Sonos One ironically boasts two speaker 
drivers. These are custom-built drivers that 
come powered by a pair of Class-D amplifiers. 
• By splitting up those speaker drivers as a 
tweeter and a mid-woofer, the Sonos One can 
cover more frequency range and deliver 
more accurate sound.

AMAZON ECHO 
SHOW 10 (3RD GEN)
• A smart speaker can deliver tons of useful 
information, but sometimes it’s a bit slow to 
spit out just the words you’re looking to hear, 
plus certain information is just easier to 
digest visually. 
• That’s where the Amazon Echo Show 10 
comes in. This device does the whole smart 
speaker thing just fine. However, the real star 
is the 10.1-inch touchscreen display.

GOOGLE NEST HUB
• If you’re team Google Assistant, the Nest Hub 
is the smart display we recommend. It lacks 
some of the extra features of the larger Nest 
Hub Max, but it has some other benefits. 
• For one, it’s smaller – there’s a 7-inch display 
– and doesn’t have a camera, making it 
better suited for putting it in a bedroom or 
any privacy-conscious home.

PHILIPS HUE WHITE AND 
COLOR A19 MEDIUM 
LUMEN SMART BULB
• Let there be light — smart light — with the 
Philips Hue White and Color A19 Ambiance 
bulbs. These are as good as it gets, giving 
you a ton of customization from a bright and 
power efficient bulb that’s also incredibly 
flexible with how you use it.

SIMPLISAFE HOME 
SECURITY SYSTEM
• When it comes to home security, you have 
two options: buy an all-in-one system or build 
it a la carte. If you’re going with the former, 
SimpliSafe makes the, well, simplest security 
system right now.

KASA SMART PLUG ULTRA 
MINI
• You can control the Kasa Smart Plug Ultra 
Mini from just about anywhere using the app, 
and you won’t need a hub; just plug it in and 
get going. It’s easy to set up schedules or 
pair it with smart automations. 
• There’s even Alexa and Google Assistant 
support, but no HomeKit. And if you ever 
misplace your phone for app access or the 
Wi-Fi is out and you want to turn something 
off, the outlet still has a handy hardware 
button to power the plug on and off.

GOOGLE NEST DOORBELL
• You can give your doorbell some serious smarts with 
the Google Nest Doorbell. This unit is easy to set up, 
as it can run on either its built-in lithium-ion battery 
or connected to 8-24V AC power that may already be 
built into your existing doorbell setup. Get the 
Google Nest Doorbell connected to your Wi-Fi, and 
you’ll be in business.

ARLO ULTRA
• The Arlo Ultra isn’t only the best of Arlo’s smart 
cameras – we think it’s the best smart security cam 
you can buy, hands down. 4K HDR recording delivers 
an ultra-crisp picture, letting you zoom in on images 
with a higher amount of fidelity.

APPLE HOMEPOD MINI
• Apple's gadgets don't usually come cheap, and that's 
true of its HomeKit devices as well. But, the Apple 
HomePod Mini shifts the equation a bit with a price of 
just $100. 
• This compact little speaker comes with a stylish 
design and light-up top so you know when Siri is 
listening. Each HomePod Mini delivers 360-degree 
audio, too, so you can set them up wherever you 
want.
