Best Smart Home Products for 2022

Amazon and Google are dominating the smart home industry at the moment. In addition to owning popular home security brands like Ring and Blink, Amazon is also continuously expanding its line of Echo smart speakers. Google, on the other hand, now owns Nest and has brought the company further under its control, and has rebranded most of its "Google Home" devices under the new Nest name, like Google Nest Mini, for instance. If you're on the hunt for smart home devices, there's a good chance you're shopping from one of these two companies. To get more news about smart home solutions, you can visit securamsys.com official website.

Our list of best smart home products features 12 products, and seven of them are Amazon or Google devices -- or devices made by Amazon- or Google-owned (or funded) companies. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. They're all solid gadgets and we honestly recommend them. As much as Google and Amazon (the latter, especially) deserve credit for bringing some much-needed organization to the smart home category via their popular voice assistants, it's easy to forget that the smart home industry is bigger than these two companies.That's part of the purpose of this post -- to look at the smart home in a different way and to see what else is out there when you remove the most obvious players. That said, Alexa and Google Assistant are compatible with... well, pretty much every smart home gadget at this point. For better or for worse, this would be an exceptionally short list if we stuck to devices that are totally independent from Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility. It would be even shorter if we left off products that use backend support like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.
Larger questions about market consolidation and data stewardship emerge when you go deeper down the rabbit hole on Amazon's and Google's omnipresence in our lives. There's also the question of privacy. Amazon and Google dot headlines for misusing user information and collecting health care data without informing people. Amazon's home security company, Ring, has been the subject of numerous CNET reports for its partnership with over 725 law enforcement agencies across the US.

I had to draw a line somewhere for this story, so for the purposes of this product roundup, Amazon, Ring, Blink, Eero, Ecobee, Google and Nest-branded devices are out.

Of course, the brands I list here aren't impervious to data breaches, either. Apple, which I nominate below for best smart speaker and best smart display, had an iPhone security flaw that allowed hackers to gather personal information from websites. And an issue with Apple's FaceTime app made it possible to listen to a person receiving a call, even if they didn't answer the call.

Still, this is a particularly great list if you have concerns about the privacy of Amazon and Google products.

Now that all of that is out of the way, let's get into this list of the top smart home devices that aren't made by Amazon or Google.
