The new year often inspires fresh starts—and for many Filipino families, that includes rethinking how safe, secure, and connected their homes really are. As daily life becomes increasingly digital and modern threats continue to evolve, smart home technology is no longer a luxury. It is fast becoming an essential part of everyday living.
Smart devices now do more than add convenience. They offer peace of mind, real-time awareness, and a sense of control whether you are at home, at work, or away. With the Internet of Things reshaping how households operate, upgrading to a smart home setup is one of the simplest ways to protect loved ones while making everyday routines more efficient.
Answering this growing need, PLDT Home Life introduces the Smart Home Starter Kit, an all-in-one, affordable package designed to help Filipino households take their first confident step into smart living. Built around security, safety, and automation, the kit brings together essential devices that work seamlessly to keep homes protected and connected.
Think of it as the foundation of a smarter home. The Smart Home Starter Kit includes smart cameras for real-time monitoring, smart plugs for effortless appliance control, and intelligent sensors that keep watch over movement, doors, windows, and even indoor climate. Every device is designed to complement the others, creating a unified system that is easy to manage through your smartphone.
At the core of the setup is the Tapo H100 Smart Hub with Chime, which acts as the command center of the entire system. It connects all devices into one smooth, uninterrupted wireless network, coordinating alerts, alarms, and automation for a truly integrated experience.
For everyday monitoring, the kit includes the Tapo C110 Indoor Camera, ideal for young families who want to keep an eye on their home. It delivers sharp 2K video and uses AI-powered detection to recognize human motion and sound. Complementing this is the Tapo C120 Indoor and Outdoor Camera, built for larger spaces and exterior areas.
With 2K QHD video, two-way audio, and AI detection for pets, vehicles, and people, it provides reliable coverage both inside and outside the home.
Automation is made simple with the Tapo P105 Mini Smart Plug, which allows users to schedule and control appliances remotely through their phone. Whether it is turning off lights, managing small appliances, or setting daily routines, convenience is just a tap away.
The Smart Home Starter Kit also looks after comfort and safety with the Tapo T310 Temperature and Humidity Sensor. By monitoring indoor climate conditions in real time, it helps prevent mold during humid months, reduce fire risks during hot weather, and improve overall energy efficiency.
Completing the security setup is the Tapo T110 Smart Contact Sensor, which sends instant alerts whenever a door or window is opened or left ajar, adding another layer of protection against unwanted entry.
Working together, these devices deliver customizable automation, real-time alerts, and remote monitoring—features that make smart home living practical and accessible even for first-time users. Whether you are checking in on your children, pets, or property, the system keeps you informed wherever you are.
The PLDT Home Life Smart Home Starter Kit is priced at P4,836 and is exclusively available to existing PLDT Home Fiber subscribers. It can be purchased as a one-time add-on through your internet subscription, making it an easy upgrade without complicated setups or hidden costs.
Beyond the kit itself, PLDT Home Life continues to strengthen its commitment to safer Filipino homes by pairing fiber-fast, reliable internet with trusted global technology brands. Through partnerships with names like TP-Link, Tapo, and Eufy, PLDT Home Life brings together connectivity and security to create a more holistic home experience.
All devices offered are 100 percent authentic and sourced directly from official partners, ensuring quality, reliability, and ease of use for every member of the household.
According to PLDT Home Senior Vice President and Head for Consumer Business John Y. Palanca, while recent data from the Philippine National Police shows a decline in property and cybercrime, proactive home protection remains crucial.
He emphasized that empowering households with smart and automated security solutions is one of the most effective ways to deter theft and break-ins.
Palanca said the Smart Home Starter Kit was designed to make smart home adoption more accessible, helping families improve safety for children, pets, and property while also boosting energy efficiency and overall quality of living.
He added that PLDT Home Life remains committed to expanding partnerships that give Filipino families greater peace of mind.
