Okater is a company which is known for making smart home devices and their smart plugs are famous all over the world. The basic smart home kit that is mentioned here contains one smart-home hub, one low powered smart plug, and one high powered smart plug. The high powered smart plug is a great edition as it can be used to control high power consuming products including AC, geyser, and even water pump. The best part about using Oakter smart plugs is that they also allow users to set up on/off schedules which comes in really handy. For example, I have set my Oakter smart plug which is connected to my water pump to start at 5 AM and close at 7 AM. This allows me to never run out of water without even waking up.

Smart Home Devices for Security
1. Ring Doorbell
One of the best things about smart home devices is the fact that they have made it possible for normal households to install security devices which were previously reserved only for the elites. One of my favorite smart home security devices is the Ring Doorbell which records the video of everyone on the front door and lets you see who is it. The doorbell also allows users to add familiar faces so that it will only send you a notification when it doesn’t identify who is on the door. If you are setting up your home security, Ring Doorbell is something you should certainly buy.
2. Arlo Pro 2 by NETGEAR Home Security Camera System
Arlo Pro 2 home security camera system is one of the best security camera systems you can install in your house. The best part about this security system is that the included cameras are both wireless and battery-powered. That means that you can install these cameras pretty much anywhere that you want. The cameras are also waterproof so you can even install them outside your house to monitor any suspicious activities. The cameras come with 7 days of free cloud recording which is way better than 24 hours free cloud recording service provided by most of the other companies. If you need home security cameras, do check out Arlo.
3. August Smart Lock Pro, 3rd Generation
4. Samsung SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor
The last smart home security product is a multipurpose sensor from Samsung which is an all-in-one sensor that can detect vibration, orientation and angle (tilt), temperature and when things open or close. These sensors are great if you want to monitor secure areas of your home as it can instantly notify you if a door, window, cabinet or drawer open unexpectedly. You can also set the sensor to send you reminders if you forgot to lock a door or drawer. If you have an area in your home where you do not want to install cameras but still want to keep it secure, the multipurpose sensor can come in really handy, that too at a very cheap cost.
