Installing smart home features allow you to automate many of the components that make your household operate smoothly and comfortably, including climate, lighting, security, and entertainment. Smart home upgrades, like a home theater system, can range from simple to complex. If you're new to the world of smart technology, consider starting with a smaller project, like one of the three discussed below.

What Are Some Smart Home Projects for Beginners?

1. A Smart Doorbell or Intercom

A smart doorbell is connected to your home's internet, and when someone approaches the door, it automatically sends an alert to your smartphone or another electronic device. You could also install a smart doorbell with a built-in camera; in addition to the convenience of seeing who's at the door, you also get the home security benefit of visual monitoring of the immediate exterior. An intercom is another possibility worth considering. These two-way communication devices can be installed anywhere in the home, including outside the front door, so you can easily talk to arriving guests or to family members in other rooms.

2. Smart Lights

Smart lights work on motion sensors, only coming on when someone is in the room. They can also be programmed to turn on and off at specific times of day, and they can be controlled at any time through your smartphone or smart speaker. You will have greater control over the lights in each room, and you may even save some money on energy bills as well. Additionally, smart lights don't typically involve a lengthy or complicated installation, and they are readily compatible with existing smart-home systems.

3. A Home Theater

A home theater offers the cinema experience from the comfort of your own home. High-definition television with internet capabilities can be controlled through your smartphone or tablet, as can surround sound systems, which make movies, TV shows, and video games immersive events. And you won't need to tear apart your living room to take advantage of these home theater options.
