Affiliate Disclosure - Smart Home Guide

Smart Home Guide participates in affiliate marketing programs and may earn commissions from purchases made through links on this site.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that allow us to earn a small commission when you make a purchase through them. This commission comes from the retailer or manufacturer, not from you - it doesn't increase your purchase price.

How We Use Affiliate Links

We include affiliate links for products and services we genuinely recommend based on our research and experience. These may include:

Smart home devices and equipment
Tools and installation supplies
Software and apps
Books and educational resources
