A little bird made a nest in my front-door wreath without us noticing. One evening, my sister opened the door, and the bird flew out of the nest and straight into our house. After a 30-minute battle to get it outside again (and keep my cat from eating it), it wasn&#8217;t until we saw the bird fly off the door again the next day that we realized it was calling our home its home, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">If this is a common problem at your house, our resident bird-gear tester Kat Merck has a solution: a smart nesting box. Birdfy makes a few different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-smart-bird-feeders\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">smart bird feeders<\/a> we like for bird-watching, and the Nest Duo is a birdhouse that lets you watch the birds while they nest inside of it. It&#8217;s a slim, attractive box that will add to your front yard&#8217;s style while also packing two solar-powered cameras (one facing the entrance, one focused inside) so you can bird-watch from multiple angles. It comes with different hole sizes to appeal to different species, metal predator guards to prevent chewing around the hole, and a remote control to reset or recharge the camera without disturbing your feathered neighbors.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Stylish Smart Lights<\/h2>\n<div data-testid=\"feature-large-callout\" class=\"CalloutFeatureLargeWrapper-hpnRzB leUusV\">\n<div

These are a fun option for outdoor lights you can enjoy on warm nights, and they can do every color and shade of white without looking as bulky as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/should-you-get-permanent-outdoor-lights\/#permanent-lights-we-dont-recommend\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">permanent outdoor lights<\/a>.

you want to remote-control, add an outdoor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-smart-light-bulbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">smart bulb<\/a>. There are tons to choose from, and you can usually find one from any brand you already have at home. The only downside is that outdoor-rated smart bulbs are usually 4.75-inch-diameter PAR38-style bulbs, so they&#8217;re best for downward-facing floodlights on your porch or balcony. They&#8217;ll likely be too big to fit in a wall fixture as a replacement for a normal-sized bulb. Don&#8217;t just grab any smart bulb\u2014not all are outdoor-rated. Check for mentions of outdoor use and waterproof ratings to make sure they&#8217;re safe to use. I&#8217;m a big fan of Cync bulbs, and the brand has an outdoor version of the Cync Full Color bulbs I like to use indoors. You&#8217;ll be able to add fun colors as well as shades of white, so you can turn the porch a spooky orange or red for Halloween, pink for Valentine&#8217;s Day, or the colors of your favorite sports team on game day.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">A Clean Pool<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I&#8217;ll never forget the gorgeous Airbnb I stayed at once that had a pool right in the front yard. Most pools aren&#8217;t really something you need to worry about for official curb appeal, but if you can spot your pool from anywhere outside of your home, you&#8217;ll want it looking pristine. My parents\u2019 pool was one you could see from the road behind their house, for example, and while we didn&#8217;t have that many trees, it still needed a ton of cleaning. If you&#8217;re sick of trying to keep your pool clean, there&#8217;s a handy gadget that can help: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-pool-cleaning-robots\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">a robotic pool cleaner<\/a>. It&#8217;s like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/best-robot-vacuum\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">robot vacuum<\/a> but for your pool, working autonomously to scrub the floors, walls, and waterline. Beatbot makes a few different robot pool cleaners we like, but WIRED reviewer Christopher Null says the AquaSense 2 is a great option for under $1,000. It has three cleaning modes and a run time of four hours, and will return to its docking station to wirelessly recharge after it cleans.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Remote-Controlled

home&#8217;s curb appeal, you can control it as easily as a smart door by adding a smart controller. You can do two different styles: I have the Chamberlain MyQ professionally installed smart garage opener, which means the device that controls my garage has these smarts built into it (plus a camera, but I find it doesn&#8217;t work great with how far the device is from my Wi-Fi router), or you can get a smart garage controller that can add smart features onto an existing garage door. Both let you check whether the garage is open or closed and operate it remotely, and you can add a video keypad that doubles as a video doorbell and can let you open or close the garage without your phone.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Smart Shades<\/h2>\n<div data-testid=\"feature-large-callout\" class=\"CalloutFeatureLargeWrapper-hpnRzB leUusV\">\n<div class=\"GridWrapper-uulHE cCvYrT grid
