But when it comes to upgrading things around the house, I do think that certain things make a lot of sense to upgrade. They’re — well — smart, even. See what I did there? ?

Honestly, not everything really needs a “smart home” solution, and it’s hard to figure out which is which. That’s where posts like these come in, and everyone could use a cheat sheet to know if things are worth the time and cost.
