Smart home devices can feel equal parts intimidating and expensive, and for both reasons, many consumers still haven't begun to adopt this technology. If you’ve been curious about smart devices but hesitant to dive in, Home Depot just released the Hubspace Beginner Bundle, and it's an easy way to get started. The new all-in-one set includes everything you need to experience the convenience of home automation, and the whole bundle is priced less than $50.
"Starting with the Hubspace Beginner Bundle provides the essentials with an easy setup, all connected in one app," shares Nick Millette, Product Development Merchant/Smart Home at The Home Depot. "You can set up each product in 60 seconds or less making it a great starting point for getting comfortable with smart home technology. As you expand your smart home, adding additional products that integrate seamlessly with your existing setup simplifies the entire experience, making it easier to enhance your home as your needs grow."
This Bundle is Perfect for New Users
Many people avoid smart home products because they feel overwhelming. Which smart home platform should you use? What devices are compatible? The Hubspace Beginner Bundle takes away that confusion.
"It can be hard for some homeowners to embrace smart technology for lots of different reasons, but the most common hesitations are usually: price, complexity, and privacy," notes Millette. "Smart Home historically has been too expensive in comparison to non-connected alternatives, the complexity of understanding the landscape of what works with what and then getting products connected is overwhelming, or they have privacy concerns. Those are actually the main customer pain points we aimed to solve when we started building Hubspace and I believe we have solved them."
Here’s why it’s such a great fit for beginners:
- Quick and Easy Setup: You don’t need to be tech-savvy. Once you download the Hubspace app and follow the straightforward instructions, you’ll have everything running in less than a minute.
- No Extra Equipment Needed: There’s no hub or additional hardware to buy—everything you need is included.
- Affordable Entry Point: At under $50, this bundle lets you try out smart products without a big financial commitment.
- Practical Everyday Use: From scheduling lights using voice control to turning off appliances remotely, you’ll see immediate benefits in convenience through your new smart home hub. You can create routines to wake up to warm lighting, turn off lights while you’re away, or control the smart plug to save energy.
What’s Included
The Hubspace Beginner Bundle comes with four useful items that can transform your living space right away:
- Two Color-Changing LED Light Bulbs (A19 Smart Bulbs): White light is nice, but if we know one thing, it's that consumers like choosing from millions of colors to set the mood of the room.
- One Clear Color-Changing Smart LED Bulb: A filament-style bulb that mixes color-changing technology.
- One Indoor Smart Plug with Timer: (15 Amp 120-Volt) Automate your appliances or control them remotely through the app. Set timers for coffee makers, lamps, or even holiday lights.
How This Bundle Simplifies Your Day-to-Day
Smart technology is all about convenience, and the Hubspace Beginner Bundle proves that even a small setup can make a big difference. Imagine coming home to a well-lit house or controlling the brightness down to 5%. You can also schedule your smart plug to turn on appliances, like a coffee maker, so your morning cup is ready before you even get out of bed.
Here are a few ways this bundle can improve your routine:
- Set Perfect Lighting Scenes: Whether you’re relaxing, working, or hosting friends, you can adjust the brightness and light temperature to match the mood. The bulbs can be dimmed down to 5% using the app. Swap the SmartLED lightbulbs into any existing fixture, including table lamps and ceiling lights.
- Save Energy: Turn off your smart lighting and appliances remotely through the app and save on energy costs.
- Improve Home Security: Manage settings and routines to schedule lights around your home. You can schedule them to turn on while you’re away, giving your home a lived-in look. It's easier to manage than a traditional lighting timer, and by using the plug, you can even power other features around your home, like a TV or audio system.
- Simplify Nighttime Routines: Command all your lights and the smart plug with a single tap, so you don’t have to walk through the house turning everything off.
