However, astatine a clip erstwhile the tech satellite is saturated with artificial quality (AI) adoption, I recovered the information that the champion products I've seen don't hinge connected AI. As I locomotion done the halls of Messe Berlin, these are the champion products I've seen and the ones I'm decidedly going to watch.

One of the coolest things I've seen astatine IFA is Philips Hue giving existing astute lights the quality to go question detectors for your astute home. Philips Hue conscionable announced the caller Hue Bridge Pro, a caller astute hub for its Hue astute lights that has a 5 times faster processor and tin grip up to 150 Philips Hue lights successful your home.
The caller Bridge Pro besides supports up to 4 MotionAware setups, truthful you tin acceptable a radical of Hue lights to enactment unneurotic arsenic a question detector. Seeing this successful action, I was impressed astatine however a radical of Philips Hue lights tin beryllium acceptable up together, on with the Bridge Pro, to observe question by recognizing changes successful the wireless signals astir them.
This benignant of exertion sounds futuristic, yet Philips Hue managed to not lone marque it hap but besides marque it disposable for the immense bulk of its existing astute lights, excluding the first-generation and portable lights.
2. Rokid Smart Glasses
The Rokid Glasses are shaping up to beryllium 1 of Meta's biggest competitors successful the astute glasses market.

The glasses are disposable connected Kickstarter and person surpassed the $1 cardinal milestone for pledges. Rokid plans to merchantability the Rokid Glasses for $599.
3. Ecovacs X11 Omnicyclone
Aside from being the longest-lasting robot vacuum and mop, the Ecovacs X11 Omnicyclone is besides the archetypal mainstream premium robot to diagnostic automatic cleaning without a replaceable particulate bag. This robot vacuum tin lavation and adust its mop roller astatine the dock and automatically bare its dustbin erstwhile full.
The biggest innovation astir this is that it empties the dustbin into a integrative particulate canister astatine the dock alternatively of relying connected particulate bags. This means that you'll ne'er person to bargain different dustbag for this robot vacuum, and tin alternatively simply bare retired the particulate canister erstwhile afloat aft a fewer weeks.

4. Olight Ostation 2
I was impressed with the Ostation artillery charger astatine CES earlier this year, but Olight conscionable upped the ante with the Ostation 2, which automatically charges some AA and AAA batteries.
My household goes done much batteries than I'd similar to publically admit, truthful I've been looking astatine rechargeable artillery stations to marque the power to a much eco-friendly solution. The biggest occupation with these is that they typically lone complaint 1 benignant of battery, either AA oregon AAA, truthful you'd person to bargain abstracted stations to get some types of batteries recharged.
The Ostation 2 solves this with a charging dock that tin grip some AA and AAA rechargeable batteries, susceptible of holding 12 of each. You don't adjacent person to interest astir lining up the artillery conscionable close -- simply driblet it into 1 of the slots and the Ostation 2 volition recharge it and merchandise it into a sorted tray erstwhile done. This presumption protects rechargeable batteries from overcharging by releasing the transportation erstwhile the artillery is full.
