Plug it into an aux port or connect to your car’s Bluetooth, and you’ll have Alexa talking to you through your speakers. The Auto connects to your phone, and can pull any information you want, hands free. Not only will it eliminate the urge to send important text while you’re driving, but it also can control your music, directions, or simple Google searches. It can be mounted on your dashboard or clipped onto a vent.

The Amazon Echo (3rd Gen) is more than just a smart speaker, but can also act as a smart home hub. It allows you to voice control different elements in your home, including compatible lights, locks, and sensors. It also allows you to voice control your music, including songs from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, SiriusXM, and more. And although the Amazon Echo is a relatively small device, it’s able to produce rich, detailed sound that automatically adapts to any room. It’s a great device for any room, and even for multiple rooms, as the Amazon Echo is able to sync music across devices, and even pair it with compatible Fire TV devices to create home theater quality audio experiences.

While there is a newer Echo Show 8 available on the market, this 1st Gen model is hardly a device to overlook. The HD smart display features an eight-inch screen and stereo sound, and Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant can help you manage your day with the device. It allows you to connect with friends and family via video calling and messaging, and for entertainment, all you have to do is ask Alexa to show you movie trailers, TV shows, movies, or the news. Radio stations, podcasts, and audiobooks are also accessible on the 1st Gen Echo Show 8. It also acts as a great digital picture frame, allowing you to put your memories on display using Amazon Photos. If a newer model is something that interests you, you can easily compare the Echo Show 8 (1st Gen) and Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen).

Apple HomePod with Apple iPhone

Apple appears to be preparing a much broader push into smart-home hardware, with several new products in development as the company looks to expand beyond the HomePod mini and Apple TV, according to a 9To5Mac report.

The roadmap includes refreshed versions of both existing products, a new smart-home hub with a display, a larger HomePod update, and eventually Apple's first dedicated smart-home security devices. The information comes from recent reporting summarized by 9to5Mac, which notes that Siri's long-awaited AI upgrades could remove one of the obstacles that has held back new Home products.

Lutron just made it easier to control your smart home without touching your phone
Smart home voice control usually means buying yet another speaker or hub. Lutron and Sonos found a simpler fix: use the speaker you probably already own.
Electronics, Speaker, Text

If you’ve lost count of how many remotes and apps you juggle between just to dim a light or skip a song, I have something for you. Lutron just gave its Caseta smart home lineup a new shortcut, letting you control lights, shades, and Sonos playback with your voice alone.

For anyone who is catching up, Caseta is Lutron's do-it-yourself smart lighting system. It’s built around a small hub that basically talks to switches, dimmers, and plugs over a radio signal (instead of Wi-Fi), making it easier to manage the entire setup. While the company has worked alongside Sonos for a while, voice control was the one piece still missing from that partnership. That changes now.

The best smart home gym equipment
Find the connected fitness equipment that's worth your money.

The average workout doesn't begin with your first rep anymore. It begins with the data you've already collected. Smartwatches track your sleep and heart rate, smart rings measure recovery, and some fitness enthusiasts even use continuous glucose monitors to better understand how their bodies respond to training and nutrition. Smart home gym equipment builds on that foundation, combining connected hardware with AI-powered coaching, adaptive resistance, and long-term progress tracking to turn health insights into smarter workouts.

Smart fitness has also grown well beyond streaming workout classes. The latest machines can automatically adjust resistance as you get stronger, analyze your performance over time, and sync with the health devices you already use. Some even use AI to recommend workouts based on your goals and training history, making every session feel more personalized. If you're still deciding whether investing in connected fitness makes sense for your lifestyle, check out our guide on whether a smart home gym is worth it.
