ANNA DE SOUZA: Tech products can sometimes be a pain to set up and an even bigger nuisance to upkeep. And that's why we rounded up the smartest plug-and-go smart home products on the market now.
I have to say this has been a major upgrade to our daily routines. All it takes is one tap to set up with Bluetooth. And when you walk into the room, it automatically connects to your device, making it a seamless process. The remote lets you choose from up to 16 colors, which are dimmable and they even move to the beat of the music. And for under 20 bucks, it's a steal.
Using a smart plug should really be as easy as plugging it in, and this one definitely delivers with its Certified for Humans label. You can operate it right through the Alexa app on your phone to control lights, fans, and so much more. 435,000 reviewers agree it's a total game changer.
The Ring camera is a fan favorite because of its flexibility and portability. You can pop it on a counter or mount it outside with batteries or small solar panel to keep it charged indefinitely. It offers 1080 HD video, two-way talk, and real-time notifications. And for just $3 a month, the subscription plan allows you to record all of your videos and review what you've missed for up to 60 days.
Staying on top of your health goals has never been easier. With this smart scale, it automatically syncs your data, including weight and BMI right into your smartphone, allowing health and fitness apps to provide customized plans. It's also multi-user friendly. And I love that it offers a pregnancy setting and a baby mode so you can easily weigh even your youngest family members.
To all the parents out there who struggle come dinnertime, I feel you. That's why I love tools like this smart air fryer that simplifies the whole process. It lets you control cooking. With verbal commands, alerts you to flip your food and you can even keep track of your meal on your phone while you relax on the couch. Or, let's be honest, tackle the rest of your to-do list. It has over 18,000 glowing reviews. And after a long day, you deserve all the deliciousness of a home cooked meal and none of the fire alarm madness.
If you haven't experienced the power of an Amazon Echo, let this be a sign for you to jump on the bandwagon. From streaming music, news, and weather reports, and tracking your grocery list to setting alarms and connecting your entire home down to the lights and thermostats, there's almost nothing this little device can't do. It can even tell jokes and answer questions. What smart home products are you loving? Let us know in the comments below.
