The Best Smart Home Accessories to Boost Your Curb Appeal (2026)
2026年提升住宅外观吸引力的最佳智能家居配件
The days are longer, the weather’s warming up, and we’re all spending more time outdoors. I certainly am as my son begs to ride his bike to the playground every day after school now that the sun hasn’t immediately set. 白天变长了，天气也暖和起来了，我们大家都在户外花更多的时间。我当然也不例外，因为现在太阳下山没那么快了，我儿子每天放学后都缠着我骑自行车去操场。
As we transition into these longer days, you might find yourself looking to solve a few problems for your outdoor-living lifestyle. Maybe you want to upgrade to a smart lock to make it easier to hang out in the neighborhood without needing to worry about your keys or locking the front door, or maybe you want some fun lighting that you don’t need to manually turn on and off. Either way, those problems and many more can be solved by all kinds of outdoor smart home gadgets. Smart locks, smart lights, and more can upgrade your outdoor lounging and hosting experience from now until daylight savings sneaks up on us again. 随着我们进入这些白昼更长的日子，你可能会发现自己需要解决一些户外生活方式带来的问题。也许你想升级一把智能锁，这样在社区里闲逛时就不必担心钥匙或锁前门的问题；又或者你想要一些不需要手动开关的趣味照明。无论哪种情况，这些问题以及更多其他问题都可以通过各种户外智能家居小工具来解决。从现在起到夏令时再次到来之前，智能锁、智能灯等设备都能提升你的户外休闲和待客体验。
But not every piece of smart home gear is easy on the eyes. If you’re big on curb appeal, these are the gadgets I recommend grabbing to give your home some smarts without costing you in the style department. 但并非所有的智能家居设备都美观。如果你非常看重住宅的外观吸引力，我推荐以下这些小工具，它们既能为你的家增添智能感，又不会牺牲美观度。

A Discreet Smart Lock / 一款低调的智能锁
Level Lock Pro
I am obsessed with this smart lock. The Level Lock Pro is a full-lock replacement, but it looks like you kept the original front of your lock and only swapped out the backing (which is also an option! More on invisible swaps below.) The inside even looks normal, unlike the massive, bulky backing most smart locks have. The only one who will know it’s smart is you. 我非常迷恋这款智能锁。Level Lock Pro 是一款完整的锁具替代品，但它看起来就像你保留了锁具原本的正面，只更换了背面（这也是一种选择！下文会详细介绍这种隐形更换方式）。它的内部看起来也很正常，不像大多数智能锁那样拥有巨大且笨重的后盖。只有你自己知道它是智能的。
Even with such a small form, it’s not lacking in features. You’ll get lots of unlocking options, including NFC and Apple Home Key, plus Matter compatibility and a long battery life. You’ll want to add Level’s Connect Wi-Fi Bridge ($79) if you want to control it from afar. 尽管外形如此小巧，但它功能齐全。你将获得多种解锁选项，包括 NFC 和 Apple Home Key，此外还支持 Matter 协议，并拥有超长电池寿命。如果你想远程控制它，建议添加 Level 的 Connect Wi-Fi 网桥（79美元）。
A Sleek Doorbell / 一款时尚的门铃
Google Nest Doorbell (Wired, 3rd Gen)
When I think of a video doorbell I actually want on my home, the Nest Doorbell is the one I think of. The stylish form factor feels like a big upgrade from the bulky shapes of the Ring camera, and it comes in a handful of finishes to best match your home. It is still obvious what it is, but all video doorbells are; this one is the least amount of eyesore. 当我想象自己真正想要安装在家的视频门铃时，我首先想到的就是 Nest Doorbell。其时尚的外形设计相比 Ring 摄像头笨重的造型有了巨大的提升，而且它有多种饰面可供选择，能最好地匹配你的家居风格。虽然它一眼就能看出是门铃（所有视频门铃都这样），但这款产品是最不碍眼的。
I tried the battery version, which does require you recharge it every couple of weeks, but the wired-in version is the top recommendation on our guide to the Best Video Doorbell. 我试用过电池版，它确实需要每隔几周充电一次，但有线版是我们“最佳视频门铃”指南中的首选推荐。
A Better Birdhouse / 一个更好的鸟屋
Birdfy Nest Duo
I had a new-to-me problem this spring: bird invasion. 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’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. 今年春天我遇到了一个新问题：鸟类入侵。一只小鸟在我们没注意的情况下，在我前门的门环里筑了巢。一天晚上，我姐姐打开门，那只鸟从巢里飞出来，直接冲进了我们家。经过30分钟的“战斗”才把它赶出去（并防止我的猫吃掉它），直到第二天我们看到那只鸟再次从门上飞走，才意识到它也把我们家当成了它的家。
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 smart bird feeders 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’s a slim, attractive box that will add to your front yard’s style while also packing two solar-powered cameras (one facing the entrance, one focused inside) so you can bird-watch from multiple angles. 如果这也是你家常见的困扰，我们的驻站鸟类设备测试员 Kat Merck 有一个解决方案：智能筑巢箱。Birdfy 生产了几款我们非常喜欢的用于观鸟的智能喂鸟器，而 Nest Duo 是一款让你可以在鸟儿筑巢时进行观察的鸟屋。它是一个纤薄、美观的盒子，既能提升前院的格调，又内置了两个太阳能摄像头（一个对着入口，一个对着内部），让你能从多个角度观鸟。
Stylish Smart Lights / 时尚的智能灯具
Govee Outdoor Clear Bulb String Lights
I’ve liked Govee’s smart outdoor string lights before, usually for my holiday decor, and have previously recommended something similar with a bistro-light-like look that happened to be smart. These clear bulb string lights are part of Govee’s current lineup and have a contemporary twist with a triangle in the center instead of the wire filament. 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 permanent outdoor lights. (Added bonus, these lights are also Matter compatible!) 我以前就很喜欢 Govee 的智能户外灯串，通常用于节日装饰，也曾推荐过类似具有小酒馆风格的智能灯具。这些透明灯泡灯串是 Govee 目前产品线的一部分，它们有一个现代化的设计亮点：灯泡中心是一个三角形，而不是传统的金属丝灯芯。对于温暖夜晚的户外照明来说，这是一个有趣的选项，它们可以呈现出各种颜色和白光色调，而且看起来不像永久性户外灯具那样笨重。（额外加分项：这些灯具也支持 Matter 协议！）
Fresh Bulbs / 焕新的灯泡
Cync Smart LED Light Bulb, PAR38
If you have light fixtures you want to remote-control, add an outdoor smart bulb. 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’re best for downward-facing floodlights on your porch or balcony. They’ll likely be too big to fit in a wall fixture as a replacement for a normal-sized bulb. Don’t just grab any smart bulb—not all are outdoor-rated. Check for mentions of outdoor use and waterproof ratings to make sure they’re safe to use. 如果你有想要远程控制的灯具，可以添加一个户外智能灯泡。市面上有海量选择，你通常可以从家里已有的品牌中找到一款。唯一的缺点是，户外级智能灯泡通常是 4.75 英寸直径的 PAR38 型灯泡，因此它们最适合用于门廊或阳台上的向下投射泛光灯。它们可能太大，无法放入壁灯中作为普通尺寸灯泡的替代品。不要随便买一个智能灯泡——并非所有灯泡都适合户外使用。请检查是否有关于户外使用和防水等级的说明，以确保使用安全。
