Your step-by-step guide to a smart home in India under ₹15,000, with installation tips for each gadget
Smart homes aren't just a techie's fantasy anymore. Today, even if you're living in a regular 2BHK or a bustling family flat, you can bring a touch of intelligence to your space without raking in a new EMI or worrying about the finances of the following month. The idea isn't about showing off to your neighbours or making your house look like a sci-fi movie set. If you want to make your life a bit smoother, safer and sometimes just a little more fun, this list is for you. And with Amazon's range of budget-friendly gadgets, you can set up a genuinely useful smart home kit for under ₹ 15,000. Let's break it down, product by product, and see how each one fits into your daily life. Think of the Echo Dot as your friend who's always ready to help. It can play music, news, reminders, or to control other gadgets with your voice. It sits quietly on your table, but don't be fooled - Alexa can manage timers, answer questions, and even crack a joke when you need it. Installation difficulty: 1/5 Just plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi with the Alexa app, and you're set. Even your parents can do this in ten minutes. Still watching cable? The Fire TV Stick Lite plugs into your TV and opens up a world of streaming - think Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, and more. You can even ask Alexa to find your favourite shows. Installation difficulty: 1/5 Plug it into your TV's HDMI port, connect to Wi-Fi, follow a few on-screen steps, and you're done. No need to call the neighbourhood techie. This little plug turns your regular appliances smart. Want to switch on the geyser from bed or check if you left the iron on? Just tap your phone or ask Alexa. Installation difficulty: 1/5 Plug it in, set it up with the app, and link it to Alexa. It's as easy as setting up a new WhatsApp account. Worried about what's happening at home when you're out? This camera lets you peek in from anywhere. You get night vision, motion alerts, and two-way talk—handy for checking on pets or deliveries. Installation difficulty: 2/5 Mounting it is optional. Plug in, connect to Wi-Fi, and follow the app. Slightly more steps, but nothing you can't handle. Change the mood of your room with a tap. These bulbs let you adjust brightness and colour, set schedules, and control everything from your phone or with your voice. Installation difficulty: 1/5 Screw in like any bulb, connect to Wi-Fi, and you're ready. No electrician needed. Still using old-school remotes for your AC or TV? This gadget lets you control them from your phone or with Alexa. Great for those times when the remote is always missing. Installation difficulty: 2/5 Plug in, connect to Wi-Fi, and set up your remotes in the app. Takes a bit of patience but is very doable. Total: ₹ 13,545– ₹ 13,645 You still have some change left for a smart night light or an automatic water dispenser. With these smart tools, you can get a little more control over your day. Most of these products are plug-and-play, so you won't need to drill holes or call an expert. The best part? You can start small and keep adding as you go.

The Fire Stick HD supports 1080p streaming at 60 FPS and includes an Amazon remote that can control the power and volume on the actual TV.

Amazon's Fire TV interface supports all of the major streaming services, including Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and all the rest.
