This was our first time out at CES, we attended all of the keynote presentations, media only events, and spent time connecting with as many smart home tech companies on the expo floor as possible. Highlights included new retractable TVs from LG, bigger and higher resolution 8k TVs from all of the manufacturers. Advancements in bathroom technology including smart mirrors, digitally controlled showers and speakers built into showerheads. Nanoleaf showed their new light panels and gave a glimpse into the future of lighting control. C by GE rolled out smart switches that are compatible with their bulbs and will work in older homes without requiring a neutral wire. Flo by Moen helps monitor water usage and can alert you to potential water leaks, their new smart faucet U by Moen is very similar to Kohler’s smart faucet. Both can be controlled by voice, pre-heat water to the exact temperature and can do precise measurements. Panasonic announced their partnership with Phelps, sponsorship with the Olympics and showed a few of the electric fleet vehicles they built in partnership with Tropos Motors. Delta CEO Ed Bastian described the future of travel including a concept called parallel reality. Ring announced the new X-Line of cameras along with additional battery & solar powered exterior lights. Wayzn has an automatic sliding glass door solution for your pets. Alarm.com has expanded their product offering to monitor your water usage. Arlo released its new Arlo 3 camera, Floodlight Camera, and video doorbell. Brilliant now has an add-on dimmer switch that connects to your main Brilliant Control Panel and can control a variety of different devices. There were plenty of smart locks available including locks that use biometrics in addition to keypads, standard locks and remote control via smart home app. Airthings is the first indoor air quality monitor with radon detection. Basically every appliance we saw is now connected, and many such as LG’s ThinQ line feature artificial intelligence. Stay tuned to future episodes for additional booth footage and hands on reviews of some of the topic products we saw at CES 2020
