The 7 smart home devices I'm using to keep my house safe and secure this summer — and most cost less than $100

TP-Link security camera, Ting, and Yale smart lock.

Even with rising airfares and gas prices, many of us are planning to take a vacation this summer. It could be just a few hours' drive away, or you could fly around the world. Regardless of where you'll end up, you'll want to make sure that your home remains safe and secure while you're away.

Over the years, I've tested dozens of smart home gadgets, and have edited reviews of dozens more — everything from smart lights to locks, water leak detectors, cameras, video doorbells, and much more. So, before you pack your bags, make sure that you have these smart home devices looking after things while you're gone.
