Mila — an air purification company — debuted two new products at CES 2024, both geared towards enhancing your indoor environment and improving the air you breathe. Products on display included the Mila Air 3 and Mila Halo, though the team also offered a look at Mila Insights, a new set of reports that give you an in-depth look at your air quality and how it can be improved.

The Mila Halo is the more intriguing of the two, as it’s both a humidifier and air purifier packed into a single unit. Along with outer panels that are fully customizable (allowing you to find a color or pattern that fits your home décor), it can detect when your room is unoccupied to turn off its water tank. Not only will that prevent over-humidification, but it should allow each tank to last longer before needing a refill.

It’s also powerful enough to eliminate aerosols from the inorganic solids found in tap water, along with bacteria and fungi, further improving your air quality.

By comparison, the Mila Air 3 is much more tame. It’s essentially an upgraded version of the existing Mila air purifier, offering a higher clean air delivery rate (CADR) to clean your home more effectively and a quieter fan. If you’re an Apple fan, you’ll be glad to know it also supports HomeKit.

Mila Insights was the last highlight of the CES 2024 showings. The Mila Insights report gives you a detailed printout of everything you need to know about your home’s air quality, including when your air quality reaches its peak — helping you identify which of your activities are impacting your home. It’ll even let you know the outdoor air quality, including when pollen, wildfire smoke, or other outdoor hazards are expected to threaten your indoor air.

Expect to learn more about pricing and release dates for these products later this year.

Lockly is bringing Matter and facial recognition to your front door in 2024

The Lockly Visage Smart Lock

Lockly makes some of the most intriguing smart locks on the market -- including the premium Vision Elite and minimalist Flex Touch Pro -- and now the company is gearing up to bring Matter and facial recognition to its lineup. Several new devices were revealed at CES 2024, including a Matter hub that's backward compatible with most existing Lockly products.

The Matter Link Hub is Lockly's first attempt at bringing the interoperability standard to its roster. By syncing your smart lock to the hub, you'll be able to integrate it with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and (for the first time) the Apple Home app. Best of all, you won't need to sacrifice any countertop space for the Matter Link Hub, as it connects directly to an electrical outlet and should take no more than a few minutes to install.

Roborock shows off highly automated robot vacuums at CES 2024

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

Roborock is responsible for many of the best robot vacuums, and this year is shaping up to be another big one for the company. A whole fleet of robot vacuums were on display at CES 2024, including the highly automated S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra -- both of which can connect to your home drainage system to automatically empty and refill their water reservoirs.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the most luxurious of the bunch, offering a self-maintained cleaning system that will empty water tanks, refill water tanks, dispense detergent, wash its mop with hot water, and dry its mop with warm air. All this is possible due to its newfound ability to connect to your home's built-in drain lines, removing the need for you to fuss around with dirty water tanks or refill water reservoirs (which is arguably the worst part of owning a robot vacuum).
