Devices in Australia
Every device here is sold in Australia, runs on 240V power, and is stocked by at least one local retailer with Australian warranty support. We link you to the retailer to check the current price, because prices move daily. Order is based on what we'd recommend, not on what pays us the most.
New to this? Two things save the most money: picking your platform before you buy anything, and knowing which devices you can install yourself.
What to check before you buy in Australia
Bulb fittings
Australian homes use B22 bayonet far more than E27 screw. Check which one a smart bulb ships with before ordering — this is the single most common return in the category.
Z-Wave frequency
Australian Z-Wave runs near 921.42 MHz against roughly 908.42 MHz in North America. An imported Z-Wave device will not talk to an Australian hub, and no adaptor fixes it.
Voltage and plugs
Anything sold locally is fine. Imported gear expecting 110V needs more than a plug adaptor.
Warranty
Buying from an Australian retailer gives you consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law that apply regardless of what the manufacturer's warranty says. Grey imports don't carry the same protection.
Matter support
"Works with Matter" on the box doesn't mean every feature is exposed. Check what the specific device actually shares before you rely on it.
Wired work
Anything involving fixed wiring — switches, downlights, hardwired sensors — is licensed electrician territory in every state.

Prices are indicative and last checked 5 August 2026. They change daily — always confirm on the retailer's site before buying. We don't hold stock and we don't set prices.
Some links earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. It doesn't affect which products appear here or how they're ordered. If a product is a bad buy, we say so.
Common questions
It depends on the category. Bunnings carries lighting and basic sensors, JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys stock the mainstream ecosystem devices, and Amazon AU carries the widest range including brands the bricks-and-mortar chains skip. Prices move constantly, so check two before buying.
→ Bunnings vs JB Hi-Fi: Where to BuySometimes. Four things decide it: voltage, plug type, radio frequency and app region locking. Wi-Fi devices usually work. Z-Wave devices usually don't, because Australia uses a different frequency band.
→ Do Overseas Devices Work in Australia?Not for Wi-Fi devices. You do need one for Zigbee, Z-Wave or Thread devices, and a hub also keeps automations running when your internet drops.
→ Do Devices Still Work When the Internet Drops?Most of it, yes. Anything that plugs in, sits on a shelf or mounts with adhesive is fine. Avoid anything requiring fixed wiring or holes without written permission.
→ Smart Home for RentersThe hardware usually outlasts the service behind it. Devices that work locally, without a cloud account, survive longest — which is why Matter and Thread support matter more than any single feature.
