Why should you shop this ThermoPro Lightning meat thermometer deal?

Integral to any grill or cook master’s arsenal is a meat thermometer. But don’t get things twisted. Just because it’s labeled as a “meat” thermometer doesn’t mean you can’t use it for other foods, including veggies. If you want to know the temp of your quiche this thermometer is a great candidate. While not the same model, we’ve reviewed the ThermoPro TP25 and ThermoPro TempSpike before. Spoiler: We liked both and the Lightning is probably no different in that regard.

It’s IP65 waterproof and has a skidproof grip, giving you a tight hold. Moreover, it offers a ±0.5° Fahrenheit pro-grade accuracy, with custom calibration options to make sure you’re getting accurate readings every time. Just pop out the metal probe, stick it in, and wait for the reading — but know you won’t be waiting long.

The 180-degree rotating display is ambidextrous-compatible, so it doesn’t matter which hand is your dominant one. Plus, the built-in motion sensor ensures it will wake up and reactivate when you pick it up to check temps, and then automatically turn off after 90 seconds of inactivity. No wasting batteries here. Plus, we can’t forget to mention there’s a 10-year warranty on this beast and it’s certified by NSF.

Normally $70, it’s all yours today for only $50, saving you $20. Stop beating your meat with a knife and fork to check the temps, use this probe instead.

Apple HomePod with Apple iPhone

Apple appears to be preparing a much broader push into smart-home hardware, with several new products in development as the company looks to expand beyond the HomePod mini and Apple TV, according to a 9To5Mac report.

The roadmap includes refreshed versions of both existing products, a new smart-home hub with a display, a larger HomePod update, and eventually Apple's first dedicated smart-home security devices. The information comes from recent reporting summarized by 9to5Mac, which notes that Siri's long-awaited AI upgrades could remove one of the obstacles that has held back new Home products.

Lutron just made it easier to control your smart home without touching your phone
Smart home voice control usually means buying yet another speaker or hub. Lutron and Sonos found a simpler fix: use the speaker you probably already own.
Electronics, Speaker, Text

If you’ve lost count of how many remotes and apps you juggle between just to dim a light or skip a song, I have something for you. Lutron just gave its Caseta smart home lineup a new shortcut, letting you control lights, shades, and Sonos playback with your voice alone.

For anyone who is catching up, Caseta is Lutron's do-it-yourself smart lighting system. It’s built around a small hub that basically talks to switches, dimmers, and plugs over a radio signal (instead of Wi-Fi), making it easier to manage the entire setup. While the company has worked alongside Sonos for a while, voice control was the one piece still missing from that partnership. That changes now.
