If you’re part of the popular Facebook group Home Buddies, you may be familiar with the three home design factions: Team Puti, who favors clean and minimalist interiors; Team Gubat, who brings the outdoors into their homes with plants and nature-inspired decor; and Team Kahoy, who prefers a more rustic home aesthetic with wooden elements.
You might be on a quest to upgrade your home into a smart one (best powered by a fiber-fast Internet connection)—and you may have discovered that there aren’t many wood-themed smart home devices on the market. Or, maybe, you’re just looking for a conversation piece for your home. Fortunately, we’ve found some choice picks that we know you wood buy—stat!
Check out these five smart devices with wood finishing that would perfectly complement your rustic-themed home.
Mui Board

This may seem like an unassuming wood plank, but the Mui Board is capable of controlling your smart home. The Mui Board, developed by the Japanese tech company Mui Labs, designed this minimalist piece to promote “peaceful digital living” where “technology performs in perfect harmony with humans.” Its flat surface functions as a touch screen, and the current iteration is compatible with Alexa.
As of this writing, Mui Lab is currently working on a Matter-compliant version of the device. Pre-orders are currently ongoing for EU and US users; but, who knows, we may be able to gain access to this highly functional device soon. Learn more about the Mui Board on the official Mui Labs website.
