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
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.

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.

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.
