Ever since we covered the CES 2024 launches, we were sure this year is going to bring a lot of AI to our homes. But surprisingly, things are not limited to AI alone. You have tech that adapts to your smart home needs seamlessly with dynamic designs and updates. So, in this blog, we wanted to focus primarily on smart home gadgets that stole the show with their simple yet exquisite designs. Let’s start with some of our most niche favorites around smart home from the show.
Although we know this robot from 2020, this year Samsung just made the Ballie so much more relevant and futuristic at the same time. Packed with an onboard projector, AI smarts, and seamless smart home integration, Ballie takes charge of your home, autonomously navigating and learning from your habits for personalized assistance. Whether it’s sending video updates when you’re away, managing tasks like adjusting ambiance, or assisting in activities, this rolling robot proves to be a versatile home management solution tailored to your needs. It’s like having a one stop hub that just does the job of home monitoring effortlessly for you.
Who wouldn’t want this robot in their house? Most importantly, it still doesn’t look a humanoid and that just takes away the stress of having a walking-talking human-like robot in the house. Instead, you get to see a ball rolling on the floor that also does the same job for you!
We’ve considered the air quality in our homes a lot for the past few years. There are countless air purifiers that have been our favorites so far (Dyson, particularly!). But Kohler just made our day with this smart light-looking fan that is dedicatedly made to monitor the air quality of your bathroom. Yes, you heard that right. With intelligent sensors measuring temperature and humidity, the fan automatically activates when high humidity is detected. Beyond air quality, this smart bathroom fan also offers adjustable lighting for brightness and color temperature. You can easily set auto modes for humidity and temperature to ensure everything is just the way you like it.
What’s more, the Atmo Fan includes a night light setting that you can customize to your preferences. No more stumbling in the dark! You can’t expect one fan to do so many things, can you?
You know how we use smart lights to decorate our home? All of us do. But Govee made the process even more effortless. Because with this lighting, you won’t have to bother about matching colors or presets based on where you are using these lights. Guess what, they do that by themselves or even via the app these lightings come with.
With these lights, you can enjoy enhanced RGBIC lighting effects with advanced planar technology. They provide smooth and dynamic illumination with more than 64 preset options. Plus, you can seamlessly integrate this gadget into your smart home ecosystem, thanks to its Matter compatibility.
We’ve been Flic a couple of years back but Flic 2 can totally change the way you operate with things around the house. Incorporating smart buttons into your home or office, this set empowers you to control over 1,000 apps effortlessly by simply pressing a button. With three button functions—push, double push, and hold—you can seamlessly manage up to three devices, whether it’s a light switch, speaker, or alarm.
You can also attach them to various surfaces using the reusable adhesive or utilize the rigid metal clip to secure the Flic 2 to your clothing or key ring while on the go. With a remarkable battery life of up to three years, this kit ensures long-lasting smart home control.
Now stepping out of the house, we’ve seen lots of lawn mowers before. But here we are with Yarbo and their M1 series. Let this cutting-edge robot handle the mundane task of lawn mowing for you, thanks to its RTK-GPS positioning technology and advanced algorithms that work seamlessly within virtual boundaries. Setting up is a breeze with a user-friendly virtual border through the mobile app.
The M1 boasts high-capacity use, covering up to 2.3 acres of land and tackling slopes of up to 68%. Schedule multiple zones effortlessly via the mobile app, benefit from wireless auto-recharging, and manage no-go zones with its IPX8 waterproof rating.
Did you see the rest of our CES 2024 highlights yet? Rest assured, this year’s going to bring a lot of bizarre yet innovative tech in the house.
