Kickstarter has long been a launchpad for groundbreaking innovations, especially in smart home technology. As experts in home automation trends, we've seen how these devices transform everyday living with seamless security, lighting, and safety features. Explore these six standout campaigns that promise to elevate your home.
Here's our curated list of top projects currently live on Kickstarter, backed by real-world potential and strong community support.
Home security doesn't have to mean invasive installations or high costs. Blink redefines it with a wire-free, battery-powered system that lasts over a year per charge and starts at just $49.
Compact alarm units deliver HD video, motion detection, night vision, temperature sensing, and more—all accessible via intuitive iOS and Android apps for live views and instant alerts.
Setup is effortless: Plug in the Blink Sync Module, download the app, follow the quick setup, and position units anywhere. Blink has surpassed its $200,000 goal by over three times. Pledge $149+ for beta access.
Elevate your home lighting without replacing bulbs. Emberlight adapters let you control any standard bulb—even dimmable ones—via smartphone, surpassing outdated gadgets like The Clapper.
Installation is simple: Screw your bulb into the Emberlight adapter and connect to WiFi. Use the app to manage individual, groups, or all lights; switches work normally too. Enjoy global remote access, Bluetooth proximity control, mood settings, and auto sunrise/sunset modes.
With over 1,500 backers, it's nearing four times its $50,000 goal. Pledge $49 for one unit.
