THESE…
ONE AMAZON SMART PLUG
There are loads of smart plugs on the market, many of them cheaper than Amazon’s, but what makes this one so excellent is how easy it is to pair with an Echo Show. Hook it up to the Alexa app and you can set your coffee maker for a 7am percolation, or stoke your electric heater’s embers with a simple voice command. £25 / amazon.co.uk
TWO PHILIPS HUE STARTER KIT
As with the Amazon plug, there are plenty of more affordable smart lights around… but when it comes to quality, availability and reliability, our experience places the Philips Hue range on top. From Edison screws to GU10s, in mood-making colour or affordable white options, Hue can light up your home like no other. from £50 / philips-hue.com
