This contactless smart baby monitor can track sleeping and respiratory patterns

Few things in life are as important as knowing how well your infant is breathing during the night. While there is a slew of products that can help monitor infant breathing, few as completely contactless. The Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor tracks a child’s normal breathing patterns and uses this information to alert parents to unusual events or breaks in the pattern. These changes could indicate an oncoming cold or virus or other problem that parents need to be aware of.

It does this without any form of contact at all — no wires, sensors, and no need to charge anything. This means your child’s sleep won’t be interrupted by an uncomfortable wire or ill-placed sensor. And it means you don’t have to wash anything extra.

The Miku Pro includes a lot of features including SensorFusion, proprietary technology that uses an 8-core processor to deliver real-time information on breathing, sleep analytics, 1080p HD video, and nearly lag-free alerts.

The Miku Pro can also be used for older children, all the way up to age 12. It can grow with your child to help you better monitor their health as they age. Additional sensors monitor temperature, humidity, sound, and light levels within a room so you can discover your child’s ideal sleep conditions. Meanwhile, a 140-degree field of view makes it easy to see a large amount of the room at once, and you can pinch to zoom in on the video feed for a closer look at your child.

While technology should never replace parenting, the Miku Pro has been put through vigorous testing and has published a 5,000-hour clinical study to help support its claims.

The Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor is available for purchase from Mikucare.com for $399. It will be available for purchase soon at other major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and more. The Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor is another tool in parents’ belts that can make a difficult job just a little bit easier, while still delivering that all-important peace of mind. After all, as any new parent knows: If your child is sleeping peacefully, you are too.

This is how much it costs to run a smart garden, and how much it can save

I've talked a lot about smart gardens before. They're one of my favorite smart home devices overall, especially with the rising cost of fresh produce and with winter just around the corner. I like fresh ingredients, and it's often less expensive to grow them at home than it is to go to the store and buy them.

On the other hand, it's not always easy for someone to do that if they live in an apartment. Balconies don't always get enough sunlight (as my failed experiment to grow potatoes this year can attest), and the available yield is small. Smart gardens offer an easy way to circumvent these woes by controlling the light output and watering schedule and taking the guesswork out of the process.

Turns out, sleep mode in smart fans isn’t just a gimmick

I tried out the Dreo Smart Fan earlier this year. Among its many features is one called "sleep mode," which purportedly lowers the volume of the fan without impacting performance. I didn't think much of it; after all, how loud could a fan actually be? And then fall arrived.

For those of you who aren't familiar with weather in the Southern U.S., you can experience three seasons in a single day. It might start out as sweater weather in the morning, then be warm enough to swim in the afternoon -- only to plummet overnight. It's impossible for a thermostat to keep up.
