How does it work?
The GearBrain is easy to use, helping you find products that work together. To start, select an item from the list of connected products in the slide show at the bottom of this article. From there, a page of smart devices, home security systems, appliances and gadgets that work with that particular product or platform appears. For instance, if you click on "What Works with Philips Hue Smart Lights," you'll be shown every product and service that works with Philips Hue smart lights.
Once you know what works with your device, you can dive even deeper. Product categories at the top of the page show you only what works with your connected device. For example, if you want speakers that work with Amazon Echo Dot, select "speakers" and you'll only be shown those that work with your Echo Dot.
Now you probably want to know how these devices work — GearBrain can that too. For each product in our compatibility checker, we link product reviews and other relevant content from GearBrain's editors to help you know if these will perform best in your home. You can also purchase the item through The GearBrain to make your buying experience easier.
