You can get a smart device that's certified for humans, but do you know how to install it? Certified for Humans is an initiative that aims to make smart home setup simple and straightforward for non-experts. With the certified for human badge on a product, you can easily tell it what to do and give it a command. For example, you can tell the Hue bulb to turn off or turn on when you're not home. But you'll still need to set up the lights before they can be used, and that's why Certified for Humans is a good idea. Humans program evaluates smart devices to ensure that they're easy to use and can be used by non-experts. To qualify for the program, a product must meet three basic criteria: Frustration-free setup, background silent updates, and Alexa Frustration Detection. For smart devices that don't meet these criteria, they're not eligible for certification. As an example, Certified for Humans website shows people plugging in smart home equipment and asking Alexa to "discover" the device. After the process, the devices appear fully functional. Apple has also simplified the process for smart home devices by requiring consumers to scan a QR code. For these reasons, certified for human products are designed for non-experts and those with little to no experience in tech.
