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.

  30. I really like the LG InstaView door-in-door side-by-side refrigerator that has the large window that you knock on twice to access whatever you are looking for.

  31. Arlo Essential Spotlight Security Camera looks cool for extra safety. but the Toucan’s Wire Free Security Cameras because they are easy to mount and have night vision is pretty cool as per the CES article.

  34. Love checking out this new tech! I’d love the Philips Hue Enchant Pendant Smart Light, as I already have the rest of my home decked out in Philips Hue lights and this could be an incredible addition!

  38. Well, for me, personally, I really like the idea of the Lutron Caséta Outdoor Smart Plug. Lots of amazing features and uses for sure. And since I just moved into my new house, I can totally see something like this coming in very handy come Spring when I get out into the new garden and set up lighting and such 🙂 …not to mention so many other options 🙂

    Thank you Best Buy & Bhupinder for another amazing chance to win!!! Good luck everyone!

  42. I am most excited to see the Arlo Touchless Video Doorbell. It would give me peace of mind to have that kind of technology at home.

  44. I love the Samsung new TV 2021 Neo QLED 8K which features a new Infinity One Design, nearly bezel-less screen providing an even more immersive viewing experience in a sleek design and form factor and the 2021 version will keep the set’s unique art mode display form factor while now being about half as thin as previous models

  46. Arlo Touchless Video Doorbell because it allows the vertical view and I could see parcels etc on my doorstep and its hardwired to my wifi so it will never lose connectivity
