The Instacart buying guide to smart home devices

These days, it isn't easy to find a house that doesn't have at least one smart home device. Smart speakers, thermostats, doorbell cameras, garage door openers — the world of convenient smart home devices seems to grow year after year.

If you're thinking of upgrading your home with a smart device, you may be wondering where to start or where to go next. Here's a short guide to some of the most popular smart home devices on the market to help you along.

Smart speakers

As one of the catalysts for the recent explosion of smart home devices, the smart speaker is an excellent place to start. When you're shopping for a smart speaker, one of the biggest deciding factors might be which voice assistant you prefer. The big three assistants are Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple's Siri. If you're already accustomed to using one of those assistants, you might want to choose a speaker that's compatible with it.

If you have no preference, your options are wide open, and you can shop according to the other features you want, such as touch screens, higher-quality speakers, and portability. Some of the most popular smart speakers include the:
  • Amazon Echo.
  • Apple HomePod.
  • Google Nest.
  • JBL Link Portable.
  • Sonos One.

Smart devices for convenience

Smart sprinkler systems, smart thermostats, smart slow cookers — there is no shortage of convenience-minded smart home devices to choose from. With such an array of smart home appliances, devices, and more, you never know what you'll find at your local stores. Check Instacart in your area today to find a smart home device that piques your interest.

Smart devices for safety

If you're looking for ways to add to your sense of security at home, you'll find plenty of smart home devices to consider. Some of the most popular of these smart devices include cameras that allow you to see inside or outside of your home through your smartphone. If you're concerned with packages being stolen off your front porch, consider a motion-activated doorbell camera. Keep track of when your front door is unlocked and who has access to it with a smart lock.

If you buy a smart home security device, we suggest switching out old smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with smart models that can tell you when they're triggered, even when you're not home. These are just a few of your options, so check out what your local stores have to offer.
