Department

Home Tech

The Institute’s fourth department. Connected-home products are scored on verified performance — and on the subscriptions behind them: what keeps working if you never pay, and what the company does with your data.

The Home Tech Top 30
How the Top 30 works: every product below is first ranked inside its own subcategory (Top 10 maximum). The department’s flagship list then takes the strongest products across all fourteen subcategories — 30 maximum, ranked on the same published AmRank Score, so a robot vacuum and a doorbell can fairly share one list.
