Traditional smart home bulbs are not the brightest options on the market, but Sengled hopes to change that. Sengled is one of the first companies to manufacture smart home technology, and this pioneering outlook shows once again with the announcement of several new bulbs at CES.

The Sengled Smart LED extra-bright 100W bulbs are Wi-Fi connected bulbs that are designed to replace traditional 100W bulbs in the home, providing the same levels of brightness for a fraction of the energy and heat output. The 100W smart bulb follows the traditional A19 form factor and puts out 1500 lumens.

Sengled also announced the Smart LED Multicolor Lightstrip, which offers more than 16 million color combinations and lets users swap them on the fly to match the ambience in any room. Combined with the introduction of the Smart Wi-Fi LED Multicolor A19 Bulb, it’s clear that Sengled has big plans in the color-changing lighting market. The Multicolor A19 bulb has more than 16 million color options, thousands of white options, and requires no hub to use. Just plug it in and connect the individual bulb to the Wi-Fi network.

Another new announcement is the Sengled Smart LED with motion sensor. This is an outdoor security floodlight capable of putting out 1200 lumens. It is linked with a passive infrared (PIR) sensor that will trigger the moment anything passes in front of it, making it the ideal choice for lighting up darker, more vulnerable areas of the yard around your home. This bulb is now available from leading major retailers for $30.

In addition to releasing a slew of new light bulbs, Sengled has also announced the Sengled Smart Switch and the Sengled Smart Sensor. The Smart Switch allows users to turn lights on and off and adjust brightness levels with ease with a remote control. The Smart Sensor lets you turn any door or window into a motion sensor.

Sengled lights can be linked to hubs like SmartThings and Wink, and they can also be controlled via voice through assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Combined with new additions like the Smart Switch and Smart Sensor, users have more ways than ever before to control their smart lights.

Samsung SmartThings learns a bunch of useful new tricks at CES 2024

Samsung SmartThings -- an application designed to connect and control your smart home devices -- doesn't quite get the same attention as platforms like Google Home or Apple HomeKit. However, it made some big announcements at CES 2024, and it's shaping up to be a big year for Samsung's first-party platform. Along with enhanced support for TVs and new uses for QR codes, SmartThings is rolling out a brilliant Map View feature, which creates a digital map of your home and shows you exactly where all your connected devices are located.

Here's how it works. Instead of scrolling through a list of all your devices or jumping between groups in your smartphone app, Map View lets you see a 3D representation of your home on your smartphone. Inside this map, you'll find icons for all your smart home gadgets corresponding to their actual physical location. That means you can quickly find exactly which device you want to control without needing to scroll through a long list.
