What smart home devices are essential for expats in Dubai?

Essential smart home devices for expats in Dubai include smart thermostats, security cameras, and smart plugs. These devices can enhance comfort and security, and prices generally range from AED 150 for smart plugs to AED 2,000 for advanced security systems. In my four years as an expat here, I've found that integrating these devices not only makes daily life easier but also helps reduce energy costs significantly.
