Security camera tip: avoid pointing a camera out through a window. At night its IR LEDs bounce off the glass and wash out the image, and PIR motion sensors can't sense body heat through glass. Mount it outdoors, or disable IR and rely on porch lighting.

Before you buy a curtain motor, check what needs a bridge. The RYSE SmartCurtain runs schedules, remote access and voice control only through its SmartBridge, sold separately, so budget for it from the start. smarthomecompared.com/window…

Video doorbell tip: check the voltage on your doorbell transformer before buying a wired model. Many need 16 to 24 VAC, and an old 10 VAC transformer can cause random reboots, laggy video or a silent chime. Upgrading the transformer is usually a cheap fix.

Water leak tip: a sensor only tells you there is a leak. If you are away, the water keeps running. Pair it with a smart shutoff valve on the main line so an alert can close the water automatically, and test the whole chain once by wetting the sensor.
