Step one: Choose an ecosystem
With a variety of ecosystems and other options to consider, the process can be daunting, but with professional assistance you can fine-tune your environment to suit your needs by setting up and linking the right combination of devices.
Before you get going, there are a number of things to consider, perhaps most importantly which ecosystem will work best for you.
The three main ecosystems used in smart homes are Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit.
This decision should largely revolve around the operating systems of the various devices you use, as sticking to the same system will help your smart home run more smoothly.
Step two: Create a hub
Choosing displays you will use to control your smart home can be equally daunting, but there are some ways you can ensure you make the right choices for you and your family.
You can control all your smart-home gadgets with your smartphone, but a mix of smart speakers and displays throughout your home can be more efficient.
With the right hub for your smart home, you can get the best out of your personal space with simple touch screen controls that are easy to use, even for visitors who are unfamiliar with smart-home setups.
