2025 was a massive year for smart home tech, with better cameras, smarter sensors, robotic vacuums, Matter expansion, and Thread finally hitting its stride. After testing countless devices, these are the ones that truly stood out for reliability, speed, and real-world usefulness.

From the fastest HomeKit Secure Video camera I’ve ever tested, to a robot vacuum with a robotic arm, invisible smart locks with Home Key, next-gen presence sensors, and some genuinely fun smart home accessories — this is the gear I actually recommend.
