Hey! Welcome to the smart home world! 😃 I'd start with a smart speaker, like Google Home or Echo. They're a good base. Then, grab some smart bulbs, maybe Philips Hue, for cool lighting vibes. Next, a smart thermostat, like Nest, is sweet for climate control. Take it easy, add gadgets as you go, and enjoy the ride! 🏡✨
