Smart Home prize pack

Each year in January there are many new smart home technologies announced at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES). This year was no exception! During the 4-day digital event, the technology gurus from global brands showcased cutting-edge innovations designed to transform our lives. We too were virtually present to capture every moment at this year’s virtual tech show, including the smart home tech announced at CES. From security monitoring, smart lighting, and entertainment, to the latest and greatest appliances, we covered all the smart home innovations shown at CES 2021 on the blog. To celebrate the new year, we are giving away a huge selection of smart home devices that we previously wrote about on the blog. Read on to learn about some of my favorite CES announcements, then learn how to enter the contest.

The best tech at CES 2021

From smart lights, security cameras, touch-free doorbells, and smart locks, to magic remote for the TV, camera-equipped robot vacuums, and ice-cream makers, we saw a variety of new devices to make your life a little easier and more enjoyable. Let’s have a look at some of the best from CES:

Smart Lighting and Speakers

Philips Hue, one of the most trusted names in smart lighting, highlighted the light switches at CES 2021. The new battery-powered module installs behind your light switches to keep your lights reachable even when the switch is off. Smart speakers, including the Google Nest Hub and Amazon Show, are already one of the central features of the smart home. The newly announced Cleer Crescent smart speaker is perfect for the main hangout room. This smart audio speaker is powered by Google Assistant, boasting a beautiful crescent-shaped design that supports different audio modes and is equipped with eight 40mm full-range drivers and a pair of 3.3-inch woofers.

Home Security and Monitoring

TP-Link introduced six new smart home products to become available throughout 2021. D-Link announced multiple new products at this year’s CES. The one that grabbed the most attention was the D-Link Whole Home Smart Wi-Fi Water Sensor Kit. Arlo, the home security brand, highlighted two products—the Essential Indoor Camera with privacy shutter and the Touchless Video Doorbell. For a detailed overview of the products announced, read the latest and greatest smart home tech announced at CES 2021 article on the blog.

TV Technology

Samsung, Sony, and TCL all had impressive TV announcements, making TVs thinner, lighter, and more similar to integrated video portals, but LG announced an optimized OLED element that will serve up brighter and even more colour-accurate for its 2021 model OLED TVs. Check out the latest and greatest TV tech announced at CES 2021 on the blog.

Computer Tech

It took a pandemic to switch many people to remote working and learning mode, and computer tech has become the top category now more than ever. For announcements by leading manufacturers like Dell and Alienware, ASUS, Acer, and Intel, be sure to read the Computer Tech coverage by Brad Moon.

Home Appliances

LG announced so many great new appliances, including the InstaView fridge, InstaView Cooking Range, Air Purifier, Vacuum, and Wash Tower. Take a look at our coverage for LG appliances and other big brands. Here’s a look at Samsung’s AI-powered appliances announced at CES 2021. When it comes to appliances, it’s all about space, convenience, and functionality. Explore the latest and greatest appliances announced at CES 2021.

Health and Wearables

Staying healthy has become more of a focus for families this year. Health tech devices can help by promoting physical and mental wellness and by preventing the spread of germs. Read about some of the newest innovations in health and wearables.

Smartphones

LG kicked off CES 2021 on Monday by teasing a rollable smartphone—really? I wonder when foldable phones will become the hottest thing in mobile tech. The company is expected to release the device later this year.

Every year lots of new technologies are announced at CES, and some of them arrive at Best Buy later that year. Last year we reviewed many of the best devices of the year. Now we have assembled four collections from the samples that arrived to the blog and created these smart home prize packages.

  1. For me, it’s the Swan Enforcer system! My neighbourhood has had a number of break-ins recently, and so I’ve been looking at investing into a top-drawer security system. I know that Swan makes great products, so the new system definitely catches my eye!

  2. I’m looking for a new TV, and even though it’s out of my price range, the new Samsung flagship 8K (QN900A) would be nice.

    • the sony 8k tv with cognitive intelligence television sounds amazing and the 8k will be terrific for gaming and watching tv.

  8. I’m interested in the health and wearables section the mini purifier is a great tool to have and the smart mask has some interesting functions on it

  11. I am very excited about the RoboVac L80 Laser Navigation Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. I love the idea of being able to vacuum my place without having to vacuum!

  12. The Swann Wired Enforcer Security System so I can have 4k video feed from outdoors and feel safe at home 🙂

  13. I am very interested in the Swann Wired Enforcer™ Security System as we live in a rural area and could certainly use a good security system for when we are not home.

  14. OH my, I would be so excited and happy to have the new RoboVac L80 Laser Navigation Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. We have a large, tiled floor house with kids, cats, dogs and bunnies! This would be heaven and save my aching back so much!

  16. I am most excited for the eufy RoboVac L80 Laser Navigation Robotic Vacuum Cleaner – I am tired of my Roomba bouncing from obstacle to obstacle… Let’s get some smarts into these robots!

  30. I love all of the new technology. Some are really cool, love to own some of these. Arlo Essential Spotlight Security Camera and the Arlo touchless video door bell Im really interested in

  31. The Cuisinart Complete Chef would be a welcome addition to my kitchen and the Targus UV-C LED disinfection light would be perfect for out technology so I hope best Buy carries them both.

  35. The LG Puricare air purifier! So crazy to have something like that in a on-the-go wearable tech version. Also the LG Instaview fridge is so cool!!
