Which smart home gadget would you genuinely miss if it vanished tomorrow?
Smart homes have quietly taken over British houses, from the kettle that knows your schedule to the doorbell that watches the postie. Rank these gadgets by how much you'd actually mourn their loss.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Smart Doorbell
Ring, Nest and the like have turned every front door into a mini CCTV operation. Perfect for catching porch pirates and watching foxes cause chaos at 3am.
B
Robot Vacuum
It bumps into the skirting boards and occasionally gets stuck under the sofa, but it saves you from hoovering up Sunday roast crumbs. A true household hero.
C
Smart Thermostat
With British energy prices doing their usual dance, a Hive or Nest that learns your habits feels less like a luxury and more like a financial advisor.
D
Smart Speaker
Whether you're asking for the weather, setting a timer for the pasta, or having a proper chat at midnight, it's become the unofficial head of the household.
E
Smart Lights
Philips Hue and friends let you turn your living room into a disco, a cosy pub, or a dentist's waiting room at the tap of a phone. Surprisingly addictive.
