Caroline Preece

As a freelance contributor, Caroline is a smart home enthusiast creating features, buying guides, and reviews for TechRadar. She got her start writing about technology as a staff writer for IT Pro and has spent the intervening decade writing about everything from films and TV to cryptocurrency (and a lot in between). She now works as the smart home editor for homes titles including Livingetc and Real Homes, bringing her experience with technology together with her personal passion for interiors and the home. Having recently purchased her first home - a small garden flat in Suffolk, England - she is taking advantage of no longer renting by making the flat as smart and automated as possible, installing smart heating, smart lighting, and a smart speaker in every room.
