These cheap gadgets are all you need to start turning your home into a smart one

People assume smart homes cost a fortune and require some kind of tech wizard to set up. I was in that camp until last year when I picked up an Amazon Echo Dot, some smart bulbs, and a smart plug. They cost me under $100 total. You literally just screw in bulbs and plug things into outlets like you normally would, then spend a few minutes in an app.
