About | For the Smart Home

For the Smart Home is a resource of the latest and greatest gadgets, devices, appliances and generally amazing stuff for the interconnected modern home.

We explore, check out, analyze and test the very best in smart home and wearable tech to bring you a condensed list of the most essential gear for device-centric living.

What we do

Let’s start with the basics – We think technology is awesome.

We live in a world which is becoming more interconnected by the day, a world where devices increasingly speak to each other to get things done, and where the impossible is increasingly being made possible thanks to technology.

Put simply, we live in a world where our devices and our homes are getting smarter.

As the pace of technology quickens, we’re here to help you lead a smarter, more connected life.

At For the Smart Home, we embrace the changing scene of cutting-edge consumer electronics, future tech and integrated modern living to find out what’s hot and what’s not.

Our mission is to bring you the most relevant information to keep you plugged in to the very latest developments in smart home and smart living advances.

How we choose the products we recommend

There’s a lot of tech out there just itching to be brought into our lives to make them better, faster, more productive and generally more fun – sometimes so much so that it can feel pretty overwhelming just knowing where to start and who to listen to.

So how do we separate the best from the rest?

As well as testing the products themselves, we study materials, forums and articles as well as expert and user reviews on sites like GDGT and Amazon to come up with a complete picture of what really delivers what it promises and those products that fall just short of the mark.

By doing this, we’re able to deliver opinions, reviews, recommendations, tips, advice and general tech know-how on the truly best smart home gear for every eventuality, use and budget.
