Smart Home Starter Kit Kenya: Smart Plugs, Bulbs, Cameras & Speakers
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.
