I bought a new-build home this year. It seemed like every property that I had looked at in my budget had a massive (and massively expensive) repair issue. Sometimes it was as simple as outdated electrical wiring or older pipes, but one seller was upfront that the entire property floods every winter. (I still tried to talk my husband into buying it.)
Our new-build townhouse doesn't have outdated wiring, but some modern choices have left me nearly as frustrated. Namely, some of the included smart home products have driven me up the wall. I use smart home products for a living, so when I found out that smart devices would be included, I figured they'd be a piece of cake for me to set up and control.
They weren't. While some of the products worked like I thought they would, others are still giving me a headache to this day. Setting up a smart home can drive you completely mad, but next time I'd rather do it myself than find a strange concoction of devices already in my home.
I didn't hate all the products, though. Here's the smart home gear I'd bring to my next house—and the ones I'd leave behind.
