The smart lighting market is full of innovative, attractive products, all of which are equally likely to blow a hole right through your wallet. Philips Hue and LIFX are particularly guilty of high-priced products, but no one can deny their quality. Now Wyze is back to its usual game, providing that same high level of quality on a product with a much lower price point. The company has announced two new products: The Wyze Light Strip and the Wyze Light Strip Pro.

The Wyze Light Strip comes in two lengths. The 16.4-foot version is $26, while the 32.8-foot version is $36. Both sizes have free shipping. The downside is that the strip can only display a single color at a time, but there are more than 16 million colors to choose from.

The Wyze Light Strip Pro also comes in a 16.4-foot version at $31 and a 32.8-foot version at $45. Again, both options include free shipping. What sets the Light Strip Pro apart is that each strip can display up to 16 different colors at a time and is capable of displaying more advanced lighting effects.

However, both the Light Strip and the Light Strip Pro host many advanced features that make them the perfect fit for any room. Their design means you can trim the strip to fit any space, and other features include:

  • Music Mode utilizes a built-in microphone on both light strips to sync the lights to your favorite tunes so you can have your own mini-rave in your bedroom.
  • Sun Match allows you to automatically sync the color temperature of your lights to the sun. This means your home’s lighting will match the current time of day and help you wake up or wind down without interrupting your Circadian Rhythm.
  • Vacation Mode can act as a line of defense by mimicking the presence of a person in your home, even when you’re away.
  • Voice Control lets you control both strips with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
  • Sleep Routines let you set up custom timers for the lights to brighten or dim to help you wake up in the morning.

You can also create custom automations through services like IFTTT and sync the Wyze Light Strip to other devices in your home to give you more ambiance while watching your favorite TV shows, during date night, and much more.

Both light strips are available for preorder now through Wyze’s website.

Baseus’ new 4K security camera turns your window into a no-drill monitoring setup

Baseus 4k AI security camera

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Let a robot do the dirty work with these 5 early Prime Day deals
Prime Day isn’t here yet, but these 5 robot vacuum deals already clean up nicely
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Robot vacuums have come a long way from bumping around furniture and hoping for the best. LiDAR mapping, self-emptying docks, spinning mop pads, carpet detection, and automatic mop washing can now take a surprising amount of floor cleaning off your hands. The catch is that piling on those conveniences can make the better models seriously expensive.

Fraimic Canvas review: A masterpiece that will continue to evolve
It's gorgeous, but I would buy it with realistic expectations in tow.
Fraimic large canvas

QuickTake: Very cool tech that should get better

The Fraimic Canvas is a picture frame that can paint its own art when you talk with it, thanks to the use of AI and a beautiful E ink display. Sounds like a gimmick, but after living with it for a while, I can assure you it’s not. The AI features are not simple to use, however, and the appeal wore off for me after a while. The good news is that when left alone on the wall, the Fraimic Canvas is one of the most convincing digital frames I have used.
