Moving has always been my most dreaded chore, and the move my wife, son, and I are embarking on this year will probably be the biggest in our lifetimes. We’re relocating from the US to my native Canada ― and as if immigration, selling the house, and packing up regular possessions weren’t enough, we’re also coping with the sheer number of smart home accessories I’ve accumulated over years of tech journalism.

That’s brought a recurring issue to the foreground. It seems like accessory makers work on the assumption that you’ll live in the same space forever: There’s little to no mention of moving in their marketing, and barely any thought of it in their design. Let me explain some of the problems you can encounter, as well as a few ways to ease the pain.
