Will smart home devices get cheaper in 2027?

Not necessarily. A better expectation for 2027 is that some smart home devices will keep getting cheaper, especially basic items like plugs, bulbs, and simple sensors, but the overall cost of building a smart home may not fall much because newer devices keep adding more advanced features and premium pricing.

One additional factor is that standards like Matter and Thread could reduce the need for some proprietary hubs and bridges, which may lower system costs for certain setups. But that doesn’t guarantee that all smart home devices will be cheaper in 2027.

So the short answer is: basic devices may get cheaper, and some ecosystems may become less expensive to set up, but the overall smart home category is not guaranteed to become cheaper in 2027.

Exact pricing can still vary by region, tariffs, supply conditions, and product lineup, so it’s worth checking current retail prices closer to the time.
