Twinkly revealed a sleek new product at CES 2024 called the Matrix Smart LED Curtain. The company says it’s the curtain with the “highest LED density in its class.” It features up to 500 LED lights that are fully mappable and programmable.

The smart LED curtain is exactly what it sounds like — a massive web of lights that run vertically from a top bar to a bottom bar. And when illuminated, they almost make the Matrix look like a solid curtain. Twinkly designed the smart LED curtain to be easy to install and incredibly lightweight, allowing you to place it in most rooms without any issues.

Using the accompanying smartphone app, you can designate a variety of lighting styles to the Matrix. This includes both static patterns and flowing colors, giving you impressive flexibility to craft a light show that fits your space.

Andrea Tellatin, Twinkly’s co-founder and CEO, says the Matrix “transforms any space into a canvas of light and color.”

If you’re using the Matrix in a large space, two or more curtains can be chained together. You can even pair them with Twinkly Music, allowing them to synchronize to the beat and create unique patterns that flow across all LEDs.

The Matrix Smart LED Curtain will be available on January 31 with a starting price of $200. Two variants will be up for grabs — a square unit with 480 mappable lights and a vertical unit with 500 mappable lights. Preorders are now open on the Twinkly website.

Daisy is an installation and repair company designed for your smart home

Smart homes have become increasingly complex over the past decade. From smart locks and video doorbells to security cameras and smart displays, there are a lot of moving pieces in the average smart home -- and getting them all working properly has become a hassle. Daisy, a new home technology company revealed at CES 2024, hopes to alleviate this problem, offering a professional service that installs and provides regular maintenance for your entire fleet of smart home gadgets.

The goal of Daisy is to help consumers "spend more time using and enjoying the technology in their home and less time being frustrated." Many smart home devices can be surprisingly difficult to install -- such as smart locks or smart blinds -- and if you're not comfortable installing one yourself, it can be difficult to find a reliable professional to handle the task for you. But with Daisy, it's looking like you'll have a one-stop shop for all your smart home needs.

Beatbot makes a splash at CES 2024 with all-in-one robotic pool cleaner

A floating Beatbot robot collects debris from the edges of a pool.

The worst part of owning a pool is trying to keep it clean. Removing debris, scrubbing the walls and floor, and managing water quality is practically a part-time job, making a backyard oasis more hassle than expected. Beatbot hopes to make that a thing of the past with the reveal of the AquaSense Pro at CES 2024 -- a comprehensive robotic pool cleaner that automates most of these processes.

While most competitors will clean either the bottom of your pool or the surface, the Beatbot manages to do both using a chamber that fills with water to sink the bot like a submarine and then empties to float. Using an accompanying smartphone app, you can have the robot clean the floor and walls of your pool, skim debris off the surface, and even improve the clarity of your water by automatically dispensing chemicals based on the size of your pool.
