Smart Home Gadgets Take Center Stage at CES 2026

A giant version of Lockin’s wirelessly charged V7 smart lock was a showstopper on the CES show floor, while Aqara’s Smart Lock U400 and Roborock’s Saros Rover robot vacuum stood out among other innovative products. This year’s CES showcased a proliferation of smart home devices that focused on refining existing features and lowering costs for staples like lighting, locks, cameras, and TVs. The introduction of the interoperability protocol Matter enabled companies to streamline their efforts, reducing development time and expenses associated with compatibility across multiple platforms. As expected, Matter brought about significant changes in the industry, empowering manufacturers to focus on enhancing user experiences rather than navigating complex platform integrations. With more affordable and feature-rich products hitting the market, consumers can now expect even more advanced smart home solutions that improve convenience and efficiency in their daily lives.
