As technology continues to advance rapidly, I’m starting to question whether my smart home devices from 2018 are still relevant. I recently dusted off my old smart thermostat and speakers, and while they still work, I can’t help but feel like I might be missing out on better features. Newer models seem to offer improved integration, enhanced security, and better compatibility with the latest voice assistants.
For those of you who’ve been using smart home tech since 2018, how are your devices holding up? Are there any gadgets from that time that you still can’t live without? Or have you upgraded to newer models and experienced noticeable improvements in performance or ease of use? I’d love to hear any thoughts on smart security systems or lighting solutions from 2018 compared to today’s options.
