These days, it seems like everyone is living the smart home life. They’re turning on their lights with their voice and controlling everything from thermostats to TVS, cameras and doorbells through automated systems.

One little-known fact, though, is that there are plenty of smart gadgets available that won’t break the bank. Here are the best affordable ones at Walmart.
