Welcome to Home Gear Picks, your down-to-earth guide to building a smarter, safer, and more comfortable home with the help of smart tech.

Let’s be honest—smart home gear can be really overwhelming. Between the jargon, the dozens of brands, and trying to figure out if a device will even work in your home… it’s a lot.

That’s where we come in.

🧠 Why Home Gear Picks Exists

When I first started exploring smart home tech, I made all the classic mistakes, buying the wrong devices, setting things up in the wrong order, and getting stuck with gear that didn’t work well together. I wasted time, money, and patience.

I started Home Gear Picks to change that experience for others.
