Smart Tech Bundle Guide for Roku Owners: How to Build a Smarter Home Around Your Roku TV
Roku isn’t just for streaming anymore. What started as a simple, affordable way to watch your favorite shows has evolved into a connected smart home ecosystem. With Roku Smart TVs, Roku streaming devices, and the expanding Roku Smart Home product lineup, users can now manage lights, cameras, plugs, and even smart video doorbells — all from the same interface where they stream Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+.
If you already own a Roku TV or Roku streaming stick, you’ve got a foundation for building a smart, affordable, and easy-to-control connected home. Whether you’re setting the mood for movie night, keeping an eye on your front porch, or cutting down on energy waste, Roku’s ecosystem and its compatibility with Google Assistant, Alexa, and Roku Voice make it easier than ever to expand your setup.
This Smart Tech Bundle Guide for Roku Owners breaks down the essential bundles to help you get started, organized by entertainment, lighting, security, and convenience.
1. The Roku Entertainment & Lighting Bundle
Roku TVs and streaming players are designed to do more than stream — they can also control your smart lighting and create the perfect home theater environment.
What’s in the Bundle:
- Roku Smart Light Strip+ (or Roku Smart Bulbs SE)
- Roku Smart Plug SE
- Philips Hue or Govee Envisual TV Light Strip (compatible via Alexa/Google)
- Roku Voice Remote Pro
Visit Roku Amazon Store for the Latest Pricing
Key Features & Setup:
Start by pairing Roku Smart Bulbs or Light Strip+ through the Roku Smart Home app (iOS/Android). Once connected to Wi-Fi, you can dim lights, change colors, or set scenes right from your TV remote using Roku Voice commands like:
“Hey Roku, set the lights to movie mode.”
You can also integrate your Roku lighting with Alexa or Google Assistant to extend control to other smart home devices.
Compatibility Watch-Out:
- Roku Smart Lights use Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz); no hub required.
- Works seamlessly with Roku TVs and Roku Streambars.
- For cross-ecosystem control, enable Roku Smart Home skill in Alexa or link to Google Home app.
Upsell Idea:
Add a Govee Envisual or Philips Hue Play Sync Box behind your Roku TV for real-time lighting that syncs with your screen colors — transforming movie nights into cinematic experiences.
2. The Roku Smart Security Bundle
Roku has made major strides in smart home security with its line of Roku Smart Cameras, Doorbells, and Indoor/Outdoor Cams, powered by Wyze technology.
What’s in the Bundle:
- Roku Outdoor Camera SE
- Roku Indoor Camera SE
- Roku Video Doorbell & Chime SE
- Roku Smart Plug SE (for lamps or alarms)
Visit Roku Amazon Store for the Latest Pricing
Key Features & Setup:
All Roku Smart Home devices connect through the Roku Smart Home app. You can view live feeds directly on your Roku TV screen — no separate monitor or app-switching required.
Use the Roku remote or voice commands to say:
“Show me the front door camera.”
The cameras feature 1080p HD video, color night vision, two-way talk, and motion/sound detection alerts. The Doorbell SE also works with Roku Chime, notifying you both on TV and your phone.
Compatibility Watch-Out:
- Roku Cameras and Doorbells require 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
- Subscription to Roku Smart Home Secure enables cloud recording and smart alerts (person, package, pet detection).
- Video feeds integrate directly with Roku OS 11.5+ TVs and players.
Pro Tip:
If you already use Alexa or Google Home, link your Roku Smart Home account for multi-platform control — perfect if your home mixes Roku and non-Roku smart devices.
3. The Roku Comfort & Energy Saver Bundle
Control temperature, monitor power usage, and automate daily routines — all from your Roku TV dashboard.
What’s in the Bundle:
- TP-Link Tapo Smart Plug or Roku Smart Plug SE
- ecobee Essential Smart Thermostat (works with Alexa and Google Assistant)
- Roku Smart Bulb SE (Soft White)
- Aqara Smart Hub M100 (for advanced Matter and HomeKit automation)
Key Features & Setup:
While Roku doesn’t yet make its own smart thermostat, it supports voice and app-based control via Alexa and Google Assistant integrations. Pair an ecobee or Google Nest Thermostat to manage temperature and energy usage using your Roku Voice Remote:
“Hey Roku, set thermostat to 70 degrees.”
Meanwhile, the Roku Smart Plug SE can automate small appliances or lamps to power on at specific times, helping reduce standby power draw.
Compatibility Watch-Out:
- ecobee thermostats and Tapo plugs connect through Alexa or Google — not directly via Roku Smart Home.
- Roku Smart Plugs work natively in the Roku app and can be triggered during specific modes, like “Movie Time” or “Away.”
Upsell Idea:
Combine this with the Aqara Smart Hub M100 if you plan to expand your setup into Matter-enabled devices that also support Apple HomeKit. This ensures your Roku setup grows alongside broader smart home ecosystems.
4. The Roku All-in-One Starter Bundle (Best for New Users)
If you’re new to smart home tech and already own a Roku device, this bundle gives you everything to start automating your home right away.
Recommended Setup:
- Roku Smart Bulb SE (Color)
- Roku Indoor Camera SE
- Roku Smart Plug SE
- Roku Video Doorbell SE
- Roku Smart Home App (free, required)
This combination covers lighting, energy management, and security — all controllable directly from your Roku TV remote or the Roku Smart Home app.
Quick Start Setup:
1️⃣ Download the Roku Smart Home app and link your Roku account.
2️⃣ Add each device by scanning its QR code in the app.
3️⃣ Rename devices for voice commands (e.g., “Living Room Light”).
4️⃣ Enable Roku Voice or connect to Alexa/Google Assistant for voice control.
5️⃣ Set automations: “Turn off lights when the TV turns off” or “Show the front door camera when the doorbell rings.”
How to Use Your Roku TV as a Smart Home Hub
Your Roku TV or Roku streaming device (4K or Ultra) becomes a visual smart home dashboard when paired with Roku Smart Home devices.
From the Roku Home Screen, navigate to:
- Smart Home → Cameras to view live feeds
- Smart Home → Lights or Plugs to toggle connected devices
- Use Roku Voice Remote to issue commands hands-free
Bonus: With the Roku Smart Soundbar or Roku Streambar, you can integrate voice control and ambient music scenes — combining entertainment and automation seamlessly.
Final Thoughts: A Smarter Home, the Roku Way
Roku has quietly transformed from a streaming brand into a full-fledged smart home ecosystem. With its intuitive app, expanding product lineup, and partnerships across Alexa, Google, and Matter, Roku is quickly becoming a legitimate smart home hub — especially for users who want simplicity and affordability.
By starting with Roku’s own lights, plugs, and cameras, and layering in compatible devices like ecobee thermostats or TP-Link smart plugs, Roku owners can build a powerful, connected home — one command, one screen, and one ecosystem at a time.
Whether you’re streaming your favorite show or checking your front door, Roku now helps you manage both entertainment and everyday life — all in one place.
Remember to use GearBrain Assistant, our product find engine, which can help you easily find and buy any smart device and find compatible devices with your existing ones.
