The best gifts for the connected home
Do you want to give something for the home and at the same time be really useful? Don't talk anymore: what you need is to get an intelligent device designed for the four walls of a house. What do we mean? Well, to a speaker with voice assistant, to a vacuum cleaner capable of sweeping and scrubbing without the user moving a finger or even a lamp that hides a speaker. Take a look and point out the following ideas.
Echo Dot + Philips Hue
We understand that giving away two bulbs is no big deal and maybe you don't want to be left alone with the gift of a smart mini speaker. What do you think if we combine both? At Amazon you now have the Echot Dot pack (3rd generation) and the two Philips smart bulbs Hue White with a discount, in addition, that is worth having on the radar -spoiler: It is 50%. There is no better first step to turn a house into a smart home.

SYMFONISK lamp
Already by the name you can go sounding what product we are talking about … among other things because we already offered you an analysis of this IKEA lamp at the time. This gift is perfect to give a touch of decoration in a house and at the same time enjoy a good speaker with fantastic sound quality (remember that Sonos is behind; in fact it easily integrates with other products of the brand, being also compatible with the main streaming music subscription services and with Airplay 2.

Echo Show 5
If you want to give a smart speaker but that is more colorful than the Dot, your thing is to take advantage of the Echo Show 5. It is a device with 5.5-inch screen that offers all the advantages of working with an assistant such as It's Alexa In Amazon you have it to buy alone (also with a good discount) or in combination with two Philips Hue white or color bulbs – after all it is one of the most useful elements to incorporate at home and control with the equipment.

Ecovacs Deebot OZMO 950
Another good gift idea (or great gift rather) it is an intelligent vacuum cleaner. In the market there are currently many so if you want to go for it, we recommend that you choose the most advanced Ecovacs model. This is the robot vacuum cleaner Ozmo 950, a device with mapping technology of the house, virtual barriers, fantastic performance and even scrubbing option. It has everything … until rebate on our link.

Doormat with cassette design
Well, this might not have been expected (connected, it has little), but isn't it geek and retro enough to be in this home selection? A doormat for the house entrance with the design of a cassette. How passionate about music would not resist? There is also a personalized option, but it is sold by an American store and would not go out until January 6. If you don't mind giving a "voucher for …", it's your gift.

Smart filament bulb
There are more and more smart bulbs, but having a retro amber design is already rarer. Luckily TP-link has its KL60 model (with 450 lumens), perfect for warmer environments and does not require a hub. It goes without saying that it is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

Fire Stick TV 4K
We cannot recommend gifts for the connected home and we cannot propose you the Fire Stick TV 4K, a streaming media player optimized for 4K content playback (this is the most advanced version of Amazon's multimedia accessory). Rare is the user who tests it and is not satisfied. Ah! And it is accompanied by voice control compatible with Alexa.

Xiaomi surveillance camera
In case you want to give a security camera, your thing is to lean towards Xiaomi. Tremendously popular, the Mi Home Security Camera 360º is equipped with dual motors allowing it to rotate to offer a better perspective. It has night vision mode, motion detector, can be put in inverted mode and it goes without saying that everything is controlled from an app from the mobile.

ChefSteps Joule Sous Vide
Any kitchens in sight? Then hit the gift With a sous vide. This slow cooker by ChefSteps has Wifi support, a mobile app of its own (called Joule and which is in English, beware of that) and is extremely compact. The perfect accessory to prepare delicious dishes in the kitchen.
