We all know the world is changing and we are all inundated with "Smart this" and "Smart that" but I wondered how many on here are embracing this.
Despite my more advanced years (I have to scroll a LOT to get down to my year of birth on some websites), I have tried to smart my home in certain areas.
I know you can do a lot of this by simply flicking a switch, but it is amazing how quickly you can get used to it and, despite her lack of technical savvy, my missus embraces it.

- Outside the house
- Eufy security cameras and doorbells linked to a Homebase in the house to record everything to a hard drive and can be viewed via their app.
- TP Link Smart bulb for the porch light.
- Inside the house
- Sky Q with additional boxes in the bedroom and kitchen.
- Google Home smart speakers dotted around the house.
- TP Link Whole Home mesh Wifi to get a good signal throughout the house.
- TP Link Kasa/Tapo smart switches to control various devices throughout the house.
- TP Link bulbs for some of the lights in the house.
- TP Link Camera for keeping an eye on the dog when we're out.
- Smart meter for the gas and electricity.
