Making your home smart doesn’t have to be daunting
Getting started with making your home smart can seem like a daunting process with so many products and brands out there. I aim to bring you smart home reviews to simplify that process in order to help you decide based on your budget and requirements.
Smart Home Brands
With hundreds of smart home brands out there ranging from well-known brands such as Philips Hue, Google Nest and Hive right up to lesser known brands such as BlindsMagic I can help you decide on the right one for you.
Smart Home Automation
The more you can automate your devices around your home the smarter it can be. I aim to share the top tips on automating your Apple smart home ensuring that your lights are never left on by accident, that your house is warm when you want it to be and that everything works together!
There has never been a better time to start a smart home and having the ability to control everything around your house using your favourite voice assistant, whether that’s Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant can help make life easier, impress your friends and be super-fun.
At Mark’s Tech Blogs we review the latest smart home tech. We understand that it can be tricky to know where to start and which products to buy and we also understand that cost is a huge barrier for many people which is why we aim to share the best for all budgets with articles focused on affordable smart home products as well as more premium products. Our smart home reviews are written by people who use the products and so you can trust us.
