Affiliate Disclosure

Smart Home UK is an independent review site. We research, test and compare smart home products to help UK households make better buying decisions. To keep this site running without charging readers, we use affiliate links.

How Affiliate Links Work

Some links on this site are affiliate links, primarily to Amazon UK. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

What This Means for Our Reviews

Affiliate income does not influence our editorial decisions. Our recommendations are based on hands-on testing, research and genuine editorial opinion. We recommend products we believe offer real value for UK homes — not products that pay the highest commission.

If a product is not worth buying, we will say so clearly, even if it carries an affiliate link. We would rather lose a commission than mislead a reader.

How We Choose What to Recommend

Every product featured in our guides goes through our structured testing and review process. We evaluate devices based on performance, reliability, ease of use, UK compatibility, value for money and long-term support. Our scoring criteria are explained in detail on our How We Test page.

Transparency

We clearly mark affiliate links throughout the site. You will typically see them as orange “Check Price” or “View on Amazon” buttons. These links open in a new tab and include our Amazon Associates tag (smarthomeuk21-21).

We are a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk.

Questions

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or editorial process, please get in touch. We are happy to explain how any recommendation was reached.
