Google Nest is making it simpler than ever to protect your home with top-notch, wireless outdoor cameras that are supported by its Nest interface and record footage directly into the cloud. These cams offer up 130 degrees of vantage with 1080P HD, day and night. Additionally, there is two-way audio. Mounting these cams is super easy, the plug means you never have to worry about dead batteries, and there’s no hub required. Other than the 24/7 video, which is always backed up, the cams are waterproof and will alert you any time a person steps into frame. Plus, Google has made it super easy to have alerts sent to your phone, especially Nest Aware. How’s that for peace of mind?

Imagine not having to worry about the thermostat. With the Nest Learning Thermostat, not only do you get to forget about your home temperature, but it gets smarter while you do it. From the moment you install it, this thermostat starts registering your lifestyle patterns, creating a schedule that optimizes temperatures automatically for when you’re sleeping, working out, coming home from work, or not home at all. What this means is the most comfort possible, without ever having to think about it, at any given time. Meanwhile, it’s super handy, showing you info on its display that you can actually use, like the time, or the weather outside. It even registers when you enter and leave the room, to maximize your comfort (and minimize your bills). And, naturally, it’s compatible with Alexa, so you can control everything by voice.

Dyson V7 Origin Cordless Vacuum — $200, was $300

This is an incredibly practical cordless vacuum that does the heavy-duty deep cleaning but also transforms into a handheld vacuum for the ultimate versatility in cleaning. The Dyson V7 Origin has 75% more suction power than its previous edition, and is designed to tackle all floor types: Carpet, hardwood, linoleum, you name it. It’s lightweight and the handheld feature allows for the ultimate access to difficult spots like under the sofa and the back of cupboards. It’s quieter than previous versions and the rechargeable lithium batteries last even longer. Our favorite part: The hygienic dirt ejector gets rid of your recent dust gathered dust, quickly and completely.

Dyson AMO6 Bladeless Desk Fan — $232, was $300

Pardon the pun, but Dyson bladeless fans leave your old box fan in the dust. The best part: They’re super quiet. The Dyson AM06 was awarded the Quiet Mark by the Noise Abatement Society, making this fan an amazing choice for those of us who need a cool, and quiet, setting for sleep (it’s nowhere near as noisy as an air conditioner and its lack of blades make an ideal choice for kids’ rooms). It’s more powerful than traditional fans, too, using its Air Multiplier technology to draw in surrounding air and then compounding and amplifying that air for an uninterrupted stream. That’s a lot of functionality for something that stands just 20 inches tall and is 10 inches wide (it tilts for the best angles and oscillates on its base as well). To complete the seamless picture, there’s a handy remote as well.

55-inch Sony X750H 4K TV — $576, was $800

Sony

While it might not be OLED or QLED, this is an amazing price on the 55-inch Sony X750H 4K TV with some of the best imagery on offer. The real attraction here, other than the price, is the 4K quality. This TV has Sony’s Triluminos color — 4K processor X1 with 4K X-Reality Pro3, using a unique 4K database. This means the brightest, most real details and textures, and even better performance from footage filmed in HD. Additionally, it tackles data in every picture so that every single image reproduces the colors most naturally. The Bass Reflex speaker gives you impressive all-around low-end sound, and especially delivering spot-on, hard-hitting bass with not compromise of clarity. Finally, smart TV means that streaming apps like Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, YouTube, and more are built-in for your ease of enjoyment.

The new Google Home Speaker Featured official

Google is giving smart-home owners a rather interesting new option: letting an AI agent of their choice run the house. The company has introduced Google Home MCP, a new Model Context Protocol integration that allows compatible AI agents such as Claude, Google Antigravity, Hermes, and OpenClaw to access and control devices connected to Google Home. It can also access device history, meaning the AI isn't limited to simply switching a light on or off.

Haier is putting AI to work on the chores you barely think about 
Architecture, Building, Furniture

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Haier

Haier brought its “Home of Intelligent Possibilities” vision to IFA 2026, showcasing products across laundry, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, televisions and floorcare. AI, sensors and connected technology featured across the range, but the more interesting question was what those systems actually did. In many cases, they were being used to help appliances recognise what was happening and make adjustments without requiring another instruction from the user.

SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2

Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on what goes around your house. But when a package is being stolen, all you get is the footage of someone walking away with our stuff. SimpliSafe is working on making things a little more secure.

The company’s new Video Doorbell Series 2 extends its Active Guard Outdoor Protection service directly to the front door. When the doorbell detects a potential threat, trained US-based monitoring agents can view the live feed, speak directly to the person outside, activate the doorbell’s siren, and, when necessary, request police dispatch while the camera records what is happening.
