This smart lamp finds your phone, glows when you get alerts, and more

If you just use your bedside lamp to read before bed, it’s time for an upgrade. These days, lamps do more than just brighten up your room: The Pretty Smart Lamp can help you find your smartphone, and then some.

The lamp connects to your smartphone through Bluetooth. As soon as it recognizes the device, they are harmoniously synced. This means that if you ever misplace your phone, you can double-tap Pretty Smart Lamp to set it off and find it. But it does much more than locate cells that have gone missing. The Pretty Smart Lamp has beauty and brains with its Bluetooth capabilities, which allow it to communicate with other smart devices around your home. For example, you can program the lamp to adjust your smart thermostat when its sensors detect a dip in temperature.

The Pretty Smart Lamp development team has partnered with Yonomi, a developer that has made an app to link like-devices to each other around the house (Think “Internet of Things”). If you have an Android device, you can download the Yonomi app to start using the Pretty Smart Lamp to control gadgets around your house. An iOS edition of the app will be coming out this summer.

Finally, Pretty Smart Lamp has you covered in terms of lighting, too. The product has a light sensor that senses brightness and adjusts accordingly. You can also select various colors and lighting sequences to suit your mood.

There are several different lasered designs to choose from when you make a $66 pledge on the Pretty Smart Lamp Kickstarter page, including a cloud, polar bear, and human hand. However, there is also a Himalayan Salt Rock version ($91) and an alabaster edition ($119) if you’re going for a specific look. The Pretty Smart Lamp will begin shipping in late summer.

This gizmo tracks your TP usage and automatically orders more when you get low
homeplenish-splindle toilet paper holder

Smart home appliances have a tendency to border on solutions-for-nonexistent-problems territory, and no place is that more apparent than the CES show floor. This year is no different. Case in point: A smart toilet paper holder from a company called Homeplenish that keeps a tab on your usage and then  automatically orders more from your Amazon account when you’re about to run out.

Homeplenish says its device will prevent people from hoarding rolls as its algorithm can automatically predict when you’ll need more and order it on your behalf beforehand, unlike some alternatives that tend to buy replacements on a set schedule. Since the smart holder integrates with Amazon’s “Smart Reorder” platform, it also takes into account delivery times and calculates the ideal reorder time frame to ensure “there is never too much or too little towel and tissue on hand.”

The Home Connectivity Alliance wants to bring you the smart home of your dreams

The interconnected nature of smart home technology has long been the subject of discussion, especially with regard to the "walled gardens" that sprang up around different platforms. Many opinion pieces (our own included) said that the smart home would never be truly "smart" until interoperability became commonplace. Today, a number of different companies came together to announce the launch of the Home Connectivity Alliance, an organization devoted to creating interoperable appliances within the home. This announcement might pale in comparison to CES 2022 launches of a massive new TV or a nifty new robot vacuum, but it's just as important.

The HCA is made up of American Standard Heating and Air Condition, Arcelik, The Electrolux Group, Haier, GE Appliances, Samsung Electronics, and Trane Residential. The presence of some of these companies comes as a surprise given their relatively low profile in the smart home market, but Samsung's membership is no surprise at all. Samsung has long been a proponent of Matter, another platform pushing for interconnectivity between devices.

7 things you didn’t know your smart thermostat could do

At their core, smart thermostats can learn about when you're coming and going and adjust the temperature automatically. Over time, however, smart thermostats have leveraged their intelligence to do some interesting things well beyond that basic mission. Let's dig into some of the more obscure features we're seeing in the latest smart thermostats. Who knows? Maybe you'll learn something you didn't know your own smart thermostat could do.
Adjust for sun exposure
If your thermostat is exposed to sunlight, it can skew the ambient temperature reading. The little spot the thermostat inhabits could be a fair bit warmer than the rest of the home. This means either heating could be prevented from turning on automatically, cooling will be prematurely activated, or the overall data on your home's heating and cooling status will be inaccurate.

Some manufacturers, like Nest, have built in a feature that counteracts this artificial spike in temperature reading. Since many smart thermostats have light sensors to automatically adjust the display brightness, they can also be used to see if there's an overlap between when brightness increases and when an abnormal spike in temperature is read. Once it figures out how much the temperature increases in that span of time, it can automatically reduce the reading to get something more accurate for the rest of the house.
