Your lights, locks and cameras should answer to one app, not five remotes. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Pick one ecosystem first. - Smart plugs: easiest first step. - Schedules save electricity. Quick answer Start with one ecosystem so everything works together: Amazon Alexa (Echo), Google Home (Nest) or a brand app like Tapo. Smart plugs are the easiest first step (switch the water heater or lights on a schedule), then smart bulbs, a Wi-Fi camera and a smart door lock. Most smart devices need 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
