<p>Smart home products make great gifts. Shiny new toys to play with over the holidays, and utility that lasts all year long. Products that work with Apple HomeKit (https://9to5mac.com/guides/homekit-weekly/) are a big part (https://9to5mac.com/2018/09/19/homekit-worth-it/) of modern smart home setups. HomeKit accessories from a variety of brands work with Apple’s Home app and with voice control through Siri.</p>
<p>Apple’s smart home framework doesn’t cover the full range of what you might need for a smart home, however, which is where Amazon Alexa (https://amzn.to/2P6GcZi) can help. There are also things to consider when buying for smart home enthusiasts like upgraded network options, network-attached storage for serving media and storing backups, and ways to integrate charging stations throughout the house.</p>
