Home should be a place to kick back in front of the TV, unwind, and do less—a more connected home makes that possible. Smart home integration means Roku Smart Home devices are designed to work seamlessly with Roku smart TVs and players, all with the aim of making your home life easier and keeping your entertainment front and center. Roku cameras, doorbells, lights, and plugs all sync with your Roku streaming device to make your TV your home base.

Home automation allows your smart devices to run on your schedule—without having to push any buttons or pull any levers. You can “set and forget” your Roku Smart Home devices in the Roku Smart Home mobile app so they turn themselves on, off, or switch settings when you want them to. A smart home doesn’t have to be fully automated—you can manually turn your smart home devices on and off using the app whenever you choose.

All you need to start building your smart home system is a home Wi-Fi® connection and smartphone. From there, you can add any smart home products you’d like to your system. Smart plugs are a good place to start because they’re simple to use and can turn your existing electronic devices like lamps and fans into smart devices. Roku offers easy-to-use, cameras, video doorbells, lights, and plugs you can control from your smartphone. If you’d like your TV to be central command for your smart home, you’ll need a Roku smart TV or streaming player.

The cost depends on which smart devices you want to have in your smart home ecosystem. Roku smart lights and plugs are relatively inexpensive, starting at under $20. Cameras and video doorbells range from $29.99 for an indoor camera to $89.99 for a video doorbell. Cameras and doorbells also have optional subscription services to access enhanced features. Roku Smart Home is a great way to build a smart home system at an affordable cost.
