David Pierce, the editor-at-large, shared his experience with the Elgato Stream Deck Mini, a customizable keyboard with LED screens for buttons.

Sean Hollister, the senior editor, praised the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini as the most reliable device in his smart home setup. This smart plug not only allows for easy control of appliances but also helps monitor energy usage, providing both convenience and cost savings.

Lastly, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, a smart home reviewer, highlighted the Sleep Number 360 iLE smart bed as her favorite smart device.
