IKEA Home Smart & HomePod Mini - A dream budget smart home? (2021)
IKEA Home Smart + HomePod Mini = A dream budget HomeKit smart home?
One of the reasons Apple failed to secure a sizeable slice of the Smart Home market was because the original HomePod (2018) was just too expensive for many consumers. Yes, the speaker quality was, and is, exceptionally good, but Apple essentially priced themselves out of the market.
But now with the £99/$99 HomePod Mini coming to the market in 2020, it's now a very different ball game.
Whilst Apple has finally brought us an affordable smart home device fit for the mass market, there are far less HomeKit devices compared to their competitors and they are usually more expensive.
In this video, I review one of the budget HomeKit set ups - IKEA's Home Smart range.
IKEA Home Smart is one of the cheapest smart home set ups, with a wide array of compatible devices to choose from.
But, do you get what you pay for?
