What is a smart home and why do you need one?

A smart home is simply a home with devices you can control remotely from your phone or by voice. The benefits go beyond luxury:

• Saving electricity: schedule lights and appliances to turn off automatically, and see what uses the most power.
• Security: get instant alerts when a door opens or motion is detected while you are away.
• Comfort: control the AC, lamps or the coffee maker from bed or from outside the house.

How to choose the best smart home system

Pick one app (ecosystem) first

The most important decision is the app. Most devices in our store work with one of these apps: Tuya Smart / Smart Life for Tuya devices, eWeLink for Sonoff, Tapo for TP-Link Tapo and the EZVIZ app for EZVIZ sensors and cameras. Keeping most of your devices in one app makes scenes and automations much easier. Tapo and Sonoff both work with Alexa and Google Assistant, so the choice between them usually comes down to which app you prefer and which devices you need.

Wi-Fi, Zigbee or Matter?

Wi-Fi devices connect directly to your router, so you do not need a hub, and most smart plugs, bulbs and switches use the 2.4 GHz band. Zigbee is a low-power wireless mesh protocol: battery-powered sensors can run for a long time, but they need a Zigbee hub (gateway) to connect to your network. Matter is a newer standard that lets certified devices from different brands work with platforms like Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home and SmartThings.

Do you need a smart home hub?

With only Wi-Fi plugs, bulbs and remotes, you can start without a hub. A hub is worth it once you add many sensors or want scenes that keep running if the internet drops. The best smart home automation hub is the one that matches your app: a Sonoff Zigbee bridge for eWeLink, a Tuya Zigbee gateway for Smart Life, or a hub built into a panel such as the Echo Hub.

Voice control and the best app to control your smart home

You add and set up devices in each brand's app. After that, Alexa can bring devices from different brands into one place, so "Alexa, turn on the living room light" works whether the bulb is Tapo or Sonoff. See our Alexa and Echo devices.

Check your Wi-Fi and wiring

Smart devices depend on your network, so make sure Wi-Fi reaches every room you plan to automate. If you want to replace wall switches later, check your switch box first: many in-wall smart switches need a neutral wire.

Best smart home devices to start with

Sonoff S60TPF Wi-Fi Smart Plug 16A

A smart plug is the easiest way to begin: plug in a fan, heater or coffee maker, schedule phone charging at night, or make sure the iron is off after you leave. The Sonoff S60TPF supports loads up to 4000W (16A), shows real-time power and daily, monthly and yearly consumption in the eWeLink app, and turns off automatically if the current reaches 16A. It supports schedules, timers, Alexa and Google Assistant.

Good for: heaters and kitchen appliances, and tracking their power use.

Tapo P300 Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip

The Tapo P300 has 3 smart AC outlets you can control separately from the Tapo app or by voice with Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant, and it supports Apple HomeKit. Its USB ports support up to 18W PD and QC3.0 charging and are always on (they are not app-controlled). It needs no hub and includes an Away Mode that switches devices on and off to simulate someone at home.

Good for: a TV corner, desk or bedside with several devices.

Tapo L510E Smart Wi-Fi Dimmable Bulb

Instead of changing your light fittings, replace a normal bulb with a smart one. The Tapo L510E is dimmable, lets you save lighting presets, and supports schedules including sunrise and sunset modes. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant and has an Away Mode that simulates someone being at home.

Good for: bedrooms and living rooms where you want simple dimming and schedules.

Sonoff B05-BL-A60 Wi-Fi Smart RGB Bulb

If you want color, the Sonoff B05-BL-A60 offers 16 million colors and adjustable white from 2700K to 6500K. It is a 9W E27 bulb with 806 lumens, controlled from the eWeLink app with schedules and scenes, and it works with Alexa and Google Assistant. See more bulbs and LED strips in our smart lighting collection.

Good for: mood lighting and users who already use eWeLink.

Smart WiFi IR Remote (Tuya)

This small device can replace the remotes in your room. The Smart WiFi IR Remote controls infrared devices such as the TV, AC, fan and set-top box from the Tuya Smart app, supports 4000+ brands and can learn buttons from your original remote. You can turn on the AC before you get home, set timers, and use Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri. Note that it does not work with appliances that use RF or Bluetooth remotes.

Good for: making an existing AC and TV smart without any wiring.

Tapo H110 Smart IR Remote and IoT Hub

The Tapo H110 covers 18 device types and over 8,000 brands, with Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant voice control and schedules. It is also a Matter-certified connection center for IR appliances and Tapo sensors, and can control devices on your local network if the internet goes down.

Good for: Tapo users who want an IR remote and a hub in one device.

Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen (Alexa)

The Echo Dot 5th Gen controls compatible smart home devices by voice, runs routines and plays music over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, with a Microphone Off button for privacy. For a smaller room, the Echo Pop is a compact Alexa speaker that can also control plugs and lights.

Good for: adding voice control to plugs, bulbs and IR remotes.

Amazon Echo Show 5

The Echo Show 5 adds a 5.5-inch display to Alexa, so you can view compatible cameras and video doorbells, make video calls with its 2 MP camera and control compatible lights and thermostats. It has a built-in camera shutter.

Good for: a kitchen or bedside where a screen is useful.

Sonoff DW2-Wi-Fi Door/Window Sensor

Door and window sensors are small and inexpensive but very effective. The Sonoff DW2-Wi-Fi connects directly to Wi-Fi without a gateway, sends real-time alerts through eWeLink and gives low-battery reminders. You can link it with other Sonoff devices, for example to turn on the hallway light when the front door opens.

Good for: one or two doors when you do not want a hub.

Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro with Zigbee sensors

The Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro supports up to 128 Zigbee devices, offers Home, Away and Sleep security modes, and runs smart scenes locally even when Wi-Fi is unstable or disconnected. Pair it with the SNZB-04P door/window sensor (tamper alert, battery up to 5 years) and the SNZB-03P motion sensor (up to 6 m, 110°, built-in light sensor so lights turn on only when it is dark). More options are in our Zigbee collection and smart sensors collection.

Good for: a whole-home eWeLink setup with many sensors.

Tuya 4-inch Control Panel or Amazon Echo Hub

For a screen on the wall, the Tuya 4-inch Smart Home Control Panel combines a touchscreen, built-in Alexa and a Tuya Zigbee gateway, so a separate Zigbee hub may not be needed. The Amazon Echo Hub is an 8-inch Alexa panel with a built-in hub for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Matter and Thread devices.

Good for: a central control point by the entrance or living room.

Smart Home Bundle NTO1

The Smart Home Bundle NTO1 is a ready-made way to start with Alexa. The product page lists an Amazon Alexa assistant, a universal smart remote and a smart light switch, with options such as 1 light plus 1 curtain; check the page for what each option contains.

Good for: anyone who wants voice control of lights, AC and TV in one package.

Smart switches and thermostats (short note)

When you are ready to go further, smart switches such as the Sonoff T6 wall switch (neutral wire required) or the in-line Sonoff BASICR2 add app control to lights and appliances; see our smart switches collection. For heating, browse smart thermostats and heating control.

Smart home setup: step by step

1. Start with one room and one need, for example the AC in the bedroom or a lamp in the living room.
2. Check Wi-Fi coverage in that room and know your 2.4 GHz network name and password.
3. Install the brand's app (eWeLink, Tapo, Tuya Smart / Smart Life or EZVIZ) and create an account.
4. Add the device by following the in-app pairing instructions, and make sure it shows as online.
5. Name devices clearly by room, such as "bedroom AC", so voice commands are easy.
6. Link Alexa (optional): in the Alexa app, open Skills, enable the brand's skill, sign in with the same account and let Alexa discover your devices.
7. Create schedules, scenes and automations, then add more devices gradually.

Tips for a successful smart home

1. Make sure Wi-Fi is strong: devices depend on your network, so coverage should reach every corner. Our router buying guide can help.
2. Start gradually: start with one room or two devices and discover what you really need.
3. Stay compatible: choose devices that work with one app (such as Tuya / Smart Life or eWeLink) so you can control everything from one place.
4. Keep apps and firmware updated for new features and better security.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best smart home devices to start with?

For most homes, a smart plug, a smart bulb and a smart IR remote cover the basics without any wiring. Add an Alexa speaker for voice control, then sensors and a hub when you want automation.

What is the best smart home system in Jordan?

There is no single best system. Choose the ecosystem that covers the devices you need (Tuya / Smart Life, Sonoff eWeLink, Tapo or EZVIZ), with Alexa on top for voice control.

Do I need a smart home hub?

Not for Wi-Fi devices. You need a hub for Zigbee sensors and switches. A hub such as the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro can also run scenes locally if the internet drops.

What is the best app to control a smart home?

Use the brand's app (eWeLink, Tapo, Tuya Smart / Smart Life or EZVIZ) to add devices, and the Alexa app if you want to control devices from different brands in one place by voice.

Can a smart remote control my air conditioner?

Yes, if your AC uses an infrared remote. A smart IR remote such as the Smart WiFi IR Remote or Tapo H110 sends the same infrared commands from your phone or by voice. It does not work with RF or Bluetooth remotes.

Can I make my home smart without changing the wiring?

Yes. Smart plugs, smart bulbs, power strips, IR remotes and battery sensors need no rewiring. Smart wall switches are the step that usually needs an electrician.

Does a smart home work without internet?

Remote control from outside and voice assistants need internet. Some hubs keep working locally, such as the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro (local scenes) and the Tapo H110 (local network control).

How much does a smart home cost in Jordan?

It depends on how many devices you need. Prices are shown on each product page, for example the Sonoff S60TPF smart plug.
