Morphology
The compound meaning ‘a group of smart devices’ is directly derivable from combining 'smart' (intelligent/automated device) with 'set' (a group of related items). This is a productive, compositional pattern in English (similar to 'tool set' or 'speaker set') and would be clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Smart set for devices comes from joining smart meaning connected and set meaning a group. Imagine smart lights, speakers, and sensors linked to one app so they work together, and that picture explains why it means 'a group of connected devices'.
