Group 1: Samsung Eco Remote 2022
Forget constantly replacing the batteries on your TV remote — Samsung’s new environmentally-friendly Eco Remote wireless charges through your WiFi.
In fact, the Eco Remote doesn’t have any batteries at all, replacing them with RF (radio frequency) tech that stores energy that it gathers from signals within 40 meters of your router. By wireless charging standards, that’s a pretty wide range, so you won’t have to wave around at weird angles to pick up a charge.
It also supports solar charging. If your router is down for some reason, you can always place it in some sunlight to give it a boost.
Group 2: Sengled Smart Health Monitoring Bulb
Smart light bulbs are typically relegated to Bluetooth color-changing tech that would fit right into TikTok aesthetics, but Sengled’s latest tech doesn’t just want to help you set the mood — it also aims to help you keep track of your health.
Sengled’s Smart Health Monitoring Lights uses non-invasive radar technology to track your sleep, heart rate, temperature, and other vital signs.
You can install one bulb, or connect a series of lights around the house over WiFi or Bluetooth so together they create a virtual map of your home and can detect everyone in the area. It could even potentially detect if someone has fallen and they can’t get up.
This is the part where we emphasize that the bulbs’ biometric tracking doesn’t involve cameras, and won’t record you. While Google has used similar sleep-tracking with radar, this is one of the most fascinating and practical applications of the tech we’ve seen. If you’re hooked to your fitness smartwatch or using a sleep tracker, Sengled’s bulbs are the next step forward into the future.
Group 3: Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra
Roborock is not only smarter than your average vacuum, but finally fulfills the promise of robot vacuums and mops delivering a truly hands-off cleaning experience.
Their latest flagship robot cleaner, the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, has all the trappings of previous models, from cameras and smart object detection, to impressive suction and automatic mop lifting technology while going across carpets.
What really makes the S7 MaxV Ultra stand out is that once docked in the Empty Wash Fill Dock, the S7 MaxV Ultra will get auto-refilled with water and have its dust bin emptied into the container. The dock also self-cleans the robot’s mop, so you won’t have to constantly replace pads or wash it every time. Roborock says the auto-refill is good for 300 square meters of mopping, and the dust bag in the dock holds up to seven weeks of dust.
Combined with updates to the vacuum’s ReactiveAI, which improves object avoidance, we doubt that any robot cleaner can come close to the sheer level of human-free deep-cleaning you’ll get out of Roborocks’ S7 MaxV Ultra right now.
Group 4: Chipolo Card Spot
Losing your wallet used to mean a rush to cancel credit cards and frustratingly retracing your steps, but the Card Spot is one simple tool that has changed all of that.
Chipolo’s Card Spot was one of the many products and accessories that found interesting ways to integrate Bluetooth-based trackers, and they teamed up with Apple’s Find My network to help make it easier to track down your lost wallet.
Simply pair the Card Spot to your iPhone, tuck the tracker inside your purse or wallet, and you’ll be able to add the tracker within the pre-installed Find My iPhone app.
It’s remarkably slim at just 0.09 inches, so it should fit most wallets. Unfortunately, while there’s no battery to swap out or way to recharge it, Chipolo says the device should last up to two years. Bottom line, the Chipolo Card Spot solves a common problem better than any similar accessory we’ve seen so far.
Group 5: KOHLER PerfectFill
In these stressful times, smart home tech should make you feel less frustrated and more aaaah. And now, taking a calming bath just got easier with Kohler’s new PerfectFill smart home system. Forget checking the water temperature by hand or waiting around to check on the water levels while filling up in the tub.
Use voice commands, or through the Kohler Konnect app, the PerfectFill system will automatically draw you a bath without needing to keep an eye on it (it drains automatically, too). Set your ideal temperature and water depth, and even pre-plan your baths for when you come from home from work or after a sweaty workout.
There are 10 saved pre-set bathing experiences for everyone in the house. An included touchscreen digital pad mounted on the wall lets you make adjustments. Save yourself the stress, and invest in your wellness with Kohler’s PerfectFill system.
Group 6: ICON.AI Sound Mirror
ICON.AI’s Sound Mirror is for everyone who’s ever sung in front of the mirror with a hairbrush in hand, or blasts music during their showers. Besides snagging an innovation award from CES 2022 this year, the mirror also just looks damn good.
The “Acoustic Mirror†is both a full-sized bathroom mirror and a smart speaker, with a speaker grill on the bottom quarter of the base. The best part — it’s completely hands-free, so you can use Alexa to stream music, check on the weather, hear the latest news, and set alarms. It’s Bluetooth compatible, so you can link it up to other smart home devices.
If you’re worried about a steamy room fogging up any of the circuitry, the Sound Mirror is almost waterproof with an IPX6 rating. Although you don’t have to hang it in the bathroom, as it can be installed anywhere in the house with four different finishes.
While there’s no details yet on the audio specs (drivers, subwoofers, etc,) ICON.AI’s mirror is a beautifully intelligent integration of AI that expands the smart home category.
