If you’re someone who loves tech, you probably already know how satisfying it is to introduce a smart home device into your humble abode. Each smart home device is designed toturn even the simplest of tasks into minimal effort.
For instance, while scrolling through TikTok the other day, I found this gadget that’ll turn any curtain into a smart one. It’s a device designed to hook onto your curtain rod without any nuts or screws and allows you to open and close your curtains via an app on your phone. You can even schedule it to open them in the AM to help wake you from your sleep gently. How good is that?!
Seriously, once you start looking, you’ll find that there’s a smart home device for everything — smart lights and powerpoints, tracking tags for your remote controls and automated air purifiers — to name a few.
In the spirit of helping you convert your bedroom into a smart one (and never stress over leaving your hair straightener on again), we’ve rounded up some of the best smart home devices worth of space in your bedroom. You’re welcome!

Okay, I already gave this nifty smart home device a bit of a plug up top. But honestly, how did we not know these existed sooner? You hook the little device onto your curtain rod, and the small wireless robot makes any curtains motorised and smart, so you can then open and close them with your smartphone. Or, just schedule them to open and close automatically — heaven!
