Review
Smart home devices that make sense in Lagos are not the same ones that make sense in London. Power reliability and data costs shape which gadgets are actually useful.
Review
Inverter and solar monitoring systems
If you have a home inverter, a smart monitoring system is the most immediately useful addition. Victron Energy or Felicity Solar smart controllers let you see battery levels from your phone.
Smart plugs and energy monitors
A ₦8,000–₦15,000 smart plug with energy monitoring tells you exactly how much power any appliance is consuming.
Smart cameras with local storage
Security cameras with local microSD storage still work during internet outages, which matters in Lagos.
Key takeaways
- Inverter monitoring systems are the most Lagos-relevant smart home addition
- Smart plugs with energy monitoring help manage inverter load
- Choose cameras with local storage so they work during internet outages
- Sonoff, Dahua, Hikvision, and Xiaomi Mijia are available at Computer Village
