Below is a list of all the smart home devices I use and a what I think about them.
Smart Assistant: Amazon Alexa
We chose Amazon Alexa to control our smart home, because it is easy to manage and we are in the Amazon ecosystem more than the Google ecosystem. We mainly have Echo Dots, but also have one Echo and one Echo Show.
Cameras: Ring Video Doorbell Pro, Wyze Cam (v2) and Wyze Cam Pan
We chose the Ring Video Doorbell about two years ago, mainly because it was one of the only smart doorbells on the market at the time.
We chose the Wyze Cam (v2) and the Wyze Cam Pan mainly for their price and the features you get for that price.
Smart Lights: Phillips Hue
We don’t have the whole house on Phillips Hue, but we have it in some of the rooms. We chose it because of its integration with Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit.
Smart Thermostat: Nest Smart Thermostat (Generation 3)
We chose the Nest Smart Thermoset for its easy connection and compatibility with Amazon Alexa.
Smoke/CO alarms: Nest Protects
The Nest Protects are awesome with one of the main reasons we have multipule is the ability to link them together so if one of them goes off they all go off.
Entertainment Controller: Logitech Harmony Hub:
The Harmony Hub is great for anyone who has a crazy entertainment set up and the ability to control it with Amazon Alexa makes it a great addition to any entertainment setup.
