CES 2022

Smart home devices stole the show at CES 22, where numerous companies announced cutting-edge technologies and devices that are genuinely turning our homes into smart homes. So how does this happen? And what are the most notable of these technologies and devices?

Smart home devices at CES 22 outshone competing technologies, thanks to experts' efforts to improve communication between all devices operating inside the home, replacing the previous era of standalone operation. With this improvement in communication quality, devices and appliances can now perform their tasks in a fully integrated manner. For example, when a robot vacuum finishes cleaning the house, the smart trash bin immediately steps in to help it dispose of the waste — fully automated and seamlessly coordinated.

 

Among the most notable devices announced at CES 22:

Security Cameras and Smart Bulbs

 

A respectable range of smart bulbs and security cameras were announced at the CES 22 conference. The most notable include:

EVE Camera: This smart camera comes equipped with a lighting bulb that operates even in rain. It is also programmed to be compatible with Apple's Homekit smart home system, and the company developing this camera announced that it is expected to launch in April of this year.

 

Bulbs from Sync:

 

Sync announced a range of smart bulbs and sockets, in addition to a smart temperature sensor. The company also announced that its devices will be available at varying price points depending on the type, and will enter the market starting this month.

 

TP-LINK Devices:

 

TP-Link also announced several devices under its Tapo brand, including smart bulbs programmed to work with Apple's Homekit system, as well as smart sockets and switches. This year's addition is a smart camera capable of recording directly to MicroSD cards without needing to upload recordings to the cloud.

As is well known, Abode focuses primarily on manufacturing and developing smart security devices. During the CES 22 conference, the company announced its new security device — a wireless door bridge equipped with a camera, powered by a built-in battery that lasts up to six continuous months. It connects to Alexa or Google devices via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Its camera can record video in 2K resolution with impressive person-detection capabilities. Abode also announced the development of a new smart doorbell with an added piece that functions as an internet extender to boost wireless coverage inside the home.

Arlo Security Device:

 

Arlo unveiled its new security device, which operates through a modern security system via a central security hub connected to external sensors. It also features a keypad for entering a password and silencing the alarm. And that's not all — you can also silence the alarm using just your phone via NFC technology. Finally, the company announced that this device will be available in stores starting June of this year.

Smart Blinds from Eve:

They are programmed to communicate with Apple's Siri voice assistant as well as the Homekit system.

In closing, smart home devices at CES 22 were remarkably diverse, though we have only covered a selection of them

to keep the article concise. But honestly, these devices and how they work — and how they will transform our homes into truly smart homes

capable of bearing the burden of our daily routines — is a topic that deserves a much longer discussion.
