FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Works in a rental?
Yes. Bulbs, plugs, a doorbell, and cameras are all removable. Avoid smart locks and thermostats unless your landlord explicitly approves — those are permanent.
Which voice assistant?
Pick the one already on your phone. The hub is the brain; staying in one ecosystem (Alexa, Google, or Apple) keeps everything talking without a bridge.
Do smart bulbs waste power when off?
A tiny bit — they stay in standby to listen. The trade-off for schedules and away-mode lighting is worth it for most people.
Is a video doorbell useful?
For package theft and seeing who rang, yes. Battery models need a charge every few months; wired is set-and-forget if you have an existing chime.
