Four Home Automation Tools to Consider in 2026

Here are four great home automation tools to consider adding this year:

  1. Smart Thermostats. Smart thermostats can learn from your temperature preferences, adjust temperatures automatically, and be conveniently controlled from your phone. For instance, when you’re not home, the heating or cooling system can be reduced and then readjusted once you get back indoors.
  1. Lighting Automation. From motion-activated lighting to scheduled lighting scenes tailored to your daily routine, lighting automation tools can make your home feel luxurious and elegant. Many lighting solutions even allow you to adjust the warmth and color of the lights to perfectly set the mood for any occasion.
  1. Motorized Shades. Automated window shades can close or open at scheduled times, be controlled with a voice command or via your phone, and even be synchronized with your other home automation tools.
  1. Smart Doorbells. Even if you’re not home, smart doorbells alert you if someone is approaching your front door and allow you to directly communicate with them. These home automation tools can greatly improve your peace of mind by giving you consistent access to your own front door.
