We try to have some fun here in the DT offices, but when you write all day, you also sit on your butt all day. We’ve liked the Fitbit Aria since we first stood on it back in 2012. If you’ve never used one, you’re gonna like it, too. Aria will automatically upload your weight, body fat percentage, and body mass index to Fitbit’s app and Web service each time you step on it. Fitbit has Android and iPhone apps, so you’re set there. Just connect the scale up to Wi-Fi.

Getting my smart home devices to switch Wi-Fi networks is annoying

Amazon Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen 2021) on table.

Let's address the two-dozen little elephants in the room: Swapping all of my smart home devices to a new Wi-Fi network should not be as annoying as it is. I recently switched to a new router, which means the SSID (network name) changed. Every smart device in my home had to be reconnected to the new network, but what I found is that there is no cohesive way to do that.

This is further exacerbated by the fact that certain devices, like the Amazon Echo, require you to press a physical button on the device as part of the change. Smart home technology is only as smart as its weakest link, and the difficulty in swapping networks is unnecessarily frustrating.
Smart home tech needs to be accessible in one place
A smart home hub should function as a central control, rather than just a way to quickly control devices. The most-used system in my home is Alexa, and I use the Alexa app to monitor and control the majority of devices throughout my home. If the device is Amazon-branded, I can change its network through the Alexa app.

This Wi-Fi Smart Plug is so cheap today it could be a mistake

TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug on Wall

When most people think of smart homes, they think of things like video doorbell deals that require some effort to set up. However, you don't need to install a complex, interconnected home system to turn some of your electric gadgets into smart devices. Sometimes, all you need are a few handy plugs, a Wi-Fi connection, and a mobile phone, and you can turn everything from your desk lamp to your electric keyboard into a smart device. That's why we're excited to share this amazing deal on the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini that's available right now at Best Buy. You can get one of these handy smart plugs for only $10, shaving off $8 from the original price of $18.

The first thing you'll notice about the TP-Link Kasa Smart Plugs is their size. At a thickness of just 1.5 inches, they're discreet, look great, and offer a lot of functionality without taking up a lot of space. They're also not big enough to take up adjacent space on the outlets next to them, which is a common problem among bigger smart plugs. Because of their size, they're a great fit for smaller spaces, such as college dorm rooms. Their versatility also makes them great for busy students since you can essentially swap out which electronics you want to turn into a smart device at any time.
