Most of us have at least one smart product in our homes, whether it’s a Bluetooth speaker, video doorbell, smart TV or voice-controlled lighting. But as time goes on, more and more smart garden products are coming to the market too.
Our list includes products to help you maintain your outdoor space, such as automatic mowers and sprinklers, and tech to enjoy while you relax, like outdoor TVs and smart lighting. We’ve rounded up our favourites for you to browse.
Most of these smart products need an internet connection, so it’s worth knowing how to boost Wi-Fi in your garden if you have lots of outdoor space.

Here in the UK, we love to talk about the weather, and this little set-up will give you accurate forecasts and collated data in your very own home and garden. It can tell you the indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity and CO2 levels, and it even measures barometric pressure and noise pollution.
Sending customisable notifications directly to your phone, the weather station gives you a seven-day forecast and warns you when it’s time to ventilate your home. You can also pair it with a Netatmo Smart Thermostat to adjust your home’s heating.
There are plenty of ways you can access the full weather report; check it on your computer or smart device, or with voice control through Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri.
For even more detailed data, why not buy one of the larger packs with an anemometer or rain gauge?

We’ve heard of the robot vacuum… but how about the robot weeder? This little device comes from the makers of the Roomba floor cleaner. It may not look like much, but it’s got plenty of five-star reviews confirming its weed-killing abilities.
The robot charges up in the sun and moves through your borders and flower beds to chop down weeds before they get out of control. It’ll deliberately avoid larger plants, but you’ll need to protect any seedlings you’re growing with the metal guards included in the pack.
Each ‘Tertill’ robot is completely weatherproof and can weed up to 200 square feet or 18.5 square metres of space. Use the brand’s app to easily monitor your robot and check its battery level.

Choose between the 55”, 65” or 75” version to fit your space. No matter your decision, you’ll get a QLED 4K picture with over a billion cinematic colours – and it’ll survive water and dust in temperatures ranging from -30 to 50°C.

Smart cameras are becoming more and more widespread as gadgets to boost security and monitor your home while you’re away.
This one comes from the popular brand Ring, and gives you instant alerts when something triggers the motion sensors. Then, you can use your smartphone, tablet or PC to see, hear and speak to anyone within 9.14m of the camera – day or night. You’ll get clear HD video and night vision, so you could even use it to spot local wildlife after dusk.
As an added bonus, there are built-in LED lights and a 110dB alarm, which you can use to deter intruders.
You’ll need to charge up the removable battery pack, but you can also buy a wired version to plug into standard power outlets. Alternatively, get the black battery model or the black wired version for a more inconspicuous camera.

It’ll trim the grass efficiently in tidy parallel lines but changes direction each time it gets to work, so it won’t leave annoying tracks on your lawn. Plus, it starts by clipping the grass around borders to avoid messy edging.
