Powerful Smart Products you need in your home
LIFX Smart Bulbs, the last light bulbs you’ll ever buy
As the need for efficiency in the home increases, LIFX bulbs are here to save you money and improve the ambiance of every room they’re installed in. The Color 1000 bulb offers 16 million colors and 1000 shades of white, allowing you to adjust each bulb exactly how you want it. Best of all, LIFX estimates that each bulb will only run you $1.32 in electricity costs in a single year.
TANGRAM Smart Rope, because jumping rope is so much better than running
With 23 embedded LEDs, the Smart Rope by TANGRAM will actually show you a jump count in front of you as the rope whips around your body. Like any fitness app, the Smart Gym partner app shows workout data including jump count, calories burned, and workout length. The Smart Rope is quite possibly the simplest smart fitness device on the market, but its benefits are crystal clear.
Crock-Pot’s 6-Quart Smart Slow Cooker will help you eat healthier every day
Slow cookers were already a smart purchase for any home. What could be smarter than a home-cooked meal ready to eat the moment you walk in the door? Crock-Pot has improved on its product with this Wi-Fi-enabled slow cooker that makes sure your food is still fresh, even if you’re stuck working late finishing TPS reports. Using the free WeMo app, you can adjust your slow cooker’s temperature, cooking timer, and even turn off the machine remotely.
After your stew, maybe you’ll need to pay a visit to your OVE Smart Toilet
OVE describes its toilet as “the ultimate accessory for your bathroom,” and it’s easy to see why. With features such as a heated seat, built-in bidet, odor control, and setting presets for the water and seat, the OVE Smart Toilet seems like an easy choice.
Want to use that slow cooker but you need groceries? The Samsung Family Hub Smart Fridge can help with that.
The Samsung Family Hub Smart Fridge is no ordinary fridge. This Wi-Fi-enabled smart device has a set of features that’ll make your neighbors seethe with jealousy. Every time you close the fridge doors, its three built-in cameras snap a picture so you can check stock while at the supermarket. You can leave notes on the built-in touchscreen display and even display photos and a calendar. But it’s the fridge’s ability to order groceries that really sets it apart from other devices.
When you do need to leave your smart home, make sure you take your Wocket Smart Wallet with you
Unlike smart cards, the Wocket offers a smart device that is free of the constraints of your smartphone. The WocketCard system copies any cards you have in your wallet, allowing you to consolidate every piece of plastic into a single card.
After a long day of buying smart devices, take a nap on your ReST Bed
They call it the world’s first Smart Bed. The ReST Bed’s best feature is automatically adjusting support for how you’re sleeping. Like a FitBit, the ReST Bed offers sleep tracking and feedback without the inconvenience of wearing a watch to bed. It comes in various bed sizes and is packaged with its own proprietary tablet to give sleep data. Finally, the bed monitors nearly 2000 points on your body to ensure your sleep is the best it can be.

Use the Canary Smart Security System to protect your home from burglars and black mold.
Canaries aren’t just for mine caverns anymore. The Canary home security system offers a variety of features in an easy-to-set-up package. After a short setup, the Canary is ready to send alerts to your phone when someone enters your home (not only good for burglars but also kids breaking curfew), day or night. The device records HD video and high-quality audio to ensure you know exactly who — or what — is causing the ruckus. The Canary can even monitor humidity, air quality, and temperature, helping you reduce physical damage to your home from mold and poor circulation.
The Lord of the Rings reference has been done before, but Amazon Echo really is a powerful ruler over your smart home
It would be pretty hard to do a top 10 list without including Amazon’s Echo product. Amazon has continued to add features to its Echo device since the launch in 2015 and the Echo still far ahead of similar products. It’s compatible with many of the devices in this very list, and to date has a combined total of only six percent one- and two-star reviews on Amazon. The success of the Echo has been nothing short of amazing, and if you don’t already have one, you probably know what it is. The Echo plays music, reads books, tells you the news, searches the Internet, warns you about traffic before you leave for work, and has many more powerful features.
Perseus Mirrors, the reinvention of the mirror
Invented in 1835, perhaps the most innovative change was the mirror frame. That all changes in 2016, with the Perseus Mirror. Its Digital Dossier allows you to create a customized screen with the most important information you want to see. Your Perseus Mirror will give you traffic, weather, or news, and it can even store calendar appointments for you. Love selfies but hate holding your phone? The Perseus Mirror has a selfie mode to take a picture in any pose you want. You can even stream tutorial videos for makeup or hair curling on the mirror, allowing you to watch and act in real time, without switching screens repeatedly.
