The Hatch Restore is one of the most premium sleep companions on the market, and its successor, the Hatch Restore 2, is looking to carry on its legacy. Shown off during CES 2023, the Hatch Restore 2 boasts a striking new design, a reworked smartphone app, and a nifty feature dubbed “Morning Moment” to help you start the day on the right foot.

Tons of cool features are packed into the Restore 2, but the most dramatic departure from the original Restore seems to be the Restore 2’s minimalist design. Hatch says the Restore 2 was “inspired by nature” and is intended to replicate a glowing sun or moon. The half-dome exterior is composed almost entirely of fabric, which diffuses light from within and creates a warm glow in your bedroom. Three fabric colors are available (Latte, Putty, and Slate), all of which feature easy-to-access buttons that allow you to quickly set your routines before going to sleep.

The Restore 2 is designed entirely around two routines — Rest and Rise. Rest is triggered before falling asleep and will slowly dim its light and play soothing (customizable) sounds as the night goes on. Rise, meanwhile, will produce a (customizable) alarm that pairs different lights and sounds to optimize your wake-up call. Morning Moments are the big new addition here, as you can choose to start the day with a small bit of “positive conten,t” such as mini affirmations or a short stretching routine after rising from bed.

Rounding out the Restore 2 is an updated app that features new soundscapes, sleep stories, and guided rest routines that change each day. Hatch Sleep Membership costs $5 a month or $50 a year. That’s a bit pricey — but if you have trouble falling asleep or getting out of bed each morning, it might be a worthwhile investment.

The Hatch Restore 2 will go on sale this February for $199. Need a smart alarm clock now? Check out our list of the best smart alarm clocks available today.

Nanoleaf reveals new Matter-enabled smart lights at CES 2023

The Nanoleaf 4D TV syncing lights to the colors on TV.

Nanoleaf, a manufacturer of smart lights, introduced several new products to its lineup during CES 2023. The most exciting addition is the Nanoleaf Skylight, which mounts onto your ceiling to provide an impressive array of light shows. It’s also completely modular and can be arranged into a variety of shapes to fit every space in your home.

The Skylight connects to your smart ecosystem through Wi-Fi and works with Matter -- meaning you shouldn’t run into any compatibility issues with your current setup. The modular ceiling fixture can produce more than 16 million colors, its brightness can be adjusted through the accompanying smartphone app, and you can even set schedules to automatically adjust its settings throughout the day. The only downside? It won’t be launching for quite a while, with an expected release date in the third quarter of 2023.

GE Lighting shows off flashy new smart lights at CES 2023

The GE HD+ Wafer Downlights set to vibrant colors.

GE is expanding the capabilities of its smart lights, with Matter support, new product launches, and improved functionality all arriving throughout this year. The news dropped during CES 2023, with GE Lighting revealing not just new smart lights, but also an intriguing integration with Schlage smart locks.

Matter integration might be the most exciting announcement from GE, although we still don’t have specific dates for its arrival. The company did mention that Matter compatibility will be coming to the GE Lighting lineup throughout 2023. The team did reveal, however, that the Cync Full Color Direct Connect Smart Bulb and the Cync Indoor Smart Plug will be the first to receive Matter-compatible versions. Unfortunately, previously produced Cync gadgets are not expected to receive an over-the-air update adding Matter support.

The Numi 2.0 Smart Toilet

Kohler always makes a splash at CES, and the 2023 event is no exception. The focus was once again on elevating your daily hygiene, with a series of smart toilets, showerheads, and digital valves revealed by the manufacturer. We also got a closer look at the Stillness Bath -- a product revealed in 2022 that’s packing a ton of premium features.

Smart toilets were at the heart of Kohler’s CES 2023 reveals, as the company displayed three new entries to its porcelain throne lineup. The most luxurious of the trio is the Numi 2.0, which is expected to clock in at over $11,000. It’s integrated with Alexa for hands-free operation and comes packed with high-end features, including a bidet, a lid that automatically opens and closes, UV cleaning, and (most importantly) a heated seat.
