These 2 new Apple smart home devices are worth your money (and these 5 are not)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Apple recently introduced<\/a> a handful of new smart home products, with its first smart panel, the HomeView<\/a>; a new HomePod mini<\/a>; an Apple TV 4K<\/a>; and a complete Home Collection with nine smart home devices. Starting at $40 for smart sensors and up to $400 for security cameras, the Apple Home Collection is not exactly budget-friendly, but could it still be right for renters?<\/p>\n

As a homeowner with a mix of smart home ecosystems (including Apple Home), I often wonder about the audience companies intend to target with these kinds of devices. I\u2019ve been a renter myself, and I know how creative you have to be with your smart home setup, given landlord and lease restrictions. <\/p>\n
