🔍 What to Look for / Tips

• Matter/compatibility — New devices often support Matter (a newer smart home standard), which makes cross-brand compatibility easier.

• Local support in Pakistan — Some devices require cloud services or may not have full feature support in your region.

• Power/wiring — Smart switches often need a neutral wire behind your wall.

• Privacy & Security — Cameras, Microphones: Check encryption, ability to disable features, and firmware updates.

• Routines & automations — Alexa lets you create routines (e.g., “Alexa, goodnight” to turn off lights, lock doors, and set the thermostat).
