The Morror is a smart mirror that offers tips to help start your day

Morror

Few of us are hubristic enough to suggest that we don’t need a helping hand in the morning and here to help is the Morror. Heralded as the “world’s best smart mirror,” this bathroom device displays makeup and skin video tutorials directly on its surface, all while providing you with high-definition lighting. So if you need just a little something extra when putting your face on at 6 a.m., this could be the product you have been waiting for.

Part beauty assistant, part smart hardware, the Morror truly seems to be the 21st-century mirror. It comes pre-installed with makeup and skin tutorials that will help you amp up your daily beauty regimen, and also offers high-quality lighting to combat even the dingiest of bathroom situations.

“With our busy schedules, it’s difficult to take time for ourselves to learn new makeup and skin care techniques,” said founder Jian Zhang. “We wanted to create something that is interactive and can be used every day, making users look even more beautiful than they already are.”

The Morror promises a pro-lux lighting system that comes complete with smart touch control, anti-blue ray features, and brightness adjust functions. Plus, it’s fingerprint proof, so even if you’re adjusting the mirror as you put on your mascara, you won’t have to worry about smudges (though we can’t say the same about your makeup). Plus, the Morror comes with clock and weather displays, so you will always be able to keep tabs on time and start considering your outfit of the day.

The Pro-lux Light System claims to simulate natural sunlight’s full-color spectrum so that you can see your face no matter what time of day it may be. With a color rendering index (CRI) of 98 and illuminance of 1,100 lux, Morror promises to show you every detail of your face (which, honestly, sounds a little scary).

“Users can start their mornings off with makeup tutorials while ending the day with skincare tutorials in the evening,” founder Jian Zhang said in a statement. “Our goal is to make makeup and skincare routines much easier as our lives continue to get busier.”

Of course, you should always exercise caution when backing any crowdfunding campaign, but if the Morror has piqued your interest, a pledge of $99 should get you one of these smart mirrors by May.

This smart display alternative can now use AI to plan all your meals
The Skylight Cal Max installed on a wall.

Skylight is a smart home company that produces a variety of smart display alternatives, such as the Skylight Cal Max. These serve as a central hub for all your daily planning -- they’re primarily used as a digital calendar, but you can also use them to track chores, make lists, or meal prep. That last aspect just became much more exciting, as Skylight is officially introducing Sidekick, an AI-powered assistant that can plan all your meals in just a few minutes.

Sidekick is a new AI feature for Skylight devices. It’s capable of generating personalized recipes based on your budget, family size, and dietary restrictions, and it’ll even create a shopping list and load up step-by-step cooking instructions. Skylight hopes the new feature will save families 10 hours every month, as they’ll no longer need to worry about the logistics surrounding meal prep.

Host a flawless Thanksgiving with these smart home tips
Philips Hue Smart Dimmable LED Smart Light Recipe Kit lifestyle

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you’re worried about hosting a great party this year, know that your smart home is here to help. We’ve pulled together some simple ways your smart home can be optimized to help you host a flawless Thanksgiving. From building a cozy atmosphere with smart lights to setting Quick Replies on your video doorbell, here’s a look at how your smart home can help throw a stress-free Thanksgiving.
Create a temporary smart lock password

Many smart locks allow you to program temporary passcodes -- and this is an incredibly useful feature when you're hosting. Instead of telling all your guests your permanent passcode, you can create a temporary code that’ll only work on Thanksgiving. This ensures your friends and family can let themselves inside your home if you’re busy without giving them free rein to barge in other times of the year. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide on how to create temporary codes on the Yale Assure Lock 2, but you’ll find a similar process available for most other smart locks.

Echo Show 21 vs. Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen): which is best for your smart home?
Amazon's new Echo Show 21 and updated Echo Show 15.

Amazon just released two new smart displays -- the completely new Echo Show 21 and the updated Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen). Both are premium options for your home, offering powerful speakers, Full HD displays, and heaps of useful apps so you can stream videos or check your schedule. But which is the better option? The gigantic Echo Show 21, or the updated Echo Show 15 (2nd Gen)? Here’s a closer look at both to help you decide.
Pricing and design

The Echo Show 21 is the biggest member of the Echo Show family, and it’s got the price tag to prove it. Clocking in at $400, it’s a hefty investment. Its design is pretty premium, however, and it can be either mounted on a wall or placed on a table with an adjustable stand (sold separately). The Echo Show 15 looks much the same, though it’s quite a bit smaller. But from a design standpoint, it’s essentially a shrunken version of the Echo Show 21. It too can be mounted on a wall or placed on a table with an optional adjustable stand. But at $300, it’s much easier on the wallet.
