Top Smart Home Devices You Should Keep 🏠

After testing hundreds of smart home products over the years, I finally did a massive cleanup—removing the stuff I wasn’t using and keeping only the devices that still work great in 2025. In this video, I’ll show you everything that made the cut—from smart thermostats and shades to lights, sensors, security, and more.

These aren’t just the newest or trendiest gadgets—these are the products I actually use every day in my Apple Home smart home setup.
