4 Things to Know Before Buying a Smart Home Gift

  1. It is a great gift for a smart-home newbie. Someone just starting out will find it useful and easy to set up.

  2. It is redundant for anyone with an existing smart home. If they already have a hub or similar devices, this adds nothing new.

  3. Do your homework before you checkout. Check what devices the recipient already owns to avoid overlap.

  4. Skip it if you are unsure. A gift card or a different gadget is safer than a duplicate.
