Smart speakers, cameras, doorbells, thermostats, and more — what's covered and how to protect your connected home.
💡 What Every Homeowner Should Know
💡
Most smart home devices have a 1-year manufacturer warranty — shorter than traditional appliances. Consider extended protection for cameras and doorbells exposed to weather.
💡
Ring Protect plans are subscriptions, not warranties. They cover cloud storage and professional monitoring, NOT hardware replacement.
💡
Smart home devices that connect to your WiFi can be vulnerable to software issues. Firmware updates are free but hardware failure after year 1 is on you.
💡
If you have a smart home ecosystem (all Ring, all Nest, etc.), consider that brand's protection plan. It's usually cheaper to cover everything under one plan.
