The smart home device products are fast becoming a trend in the market these days. These devices can help people control their lights, thermostat, and other home technology with more convenience. Even people who are renting and don't really own their houses can still take advantage of these devices if they know what products to buy.

There were plenty of new smart home devices that were launched during this year's CES event. Some of these devices include trashcans, robots, light bulbs, cameras, and other connected appliances, Tom's Guide reported. Most of these new devices are compatible with Amazon Alexa, which helps integrate voice assistant technology to the home.

Some of the best smart home devices that requires no installation include Amazon Echo, Nest Cam and other Wi-Fi camera, iDevices and Belkin WeMo and other smart switches, and the Google Home smart speakers, CNET reported. These technologies can automate the lamps, switches, and other home appliances. People can even choose to smarten up their door locks with August Smart Lock and the Kwikset Convert.

Best Smart Speaker is an Amazon Echo Bluetooth speaker that has voice-activated features allowing the user to connect to their smart home gadgets. It can also help connect to Samsung, Belkin, and other smart home hubs. It can also let the user check the weather, buy things online, and listen to great music.

Best Security Camera lets the user shoot up to 1080p videos for smart home surveillance. This is an amazing capability considering it is only $199. It provides sharp night vision, digital zoom, and two-way audio.
