a lot of the coverage you see from see especially over the years spent on these crazy flagship products but I think one of the coolest things about the show that doesn't get the cover deserves are these big paradigm shifts these things that happen that change the industry and change tech and I think in turn kind of changed consumers and I think the smart home is one of them we've heard the term smart home for years now we've seen selective smart home products but finally we're at the shifts or the smart home like the vision of everything connected inside of your house is becoming possible so I figured that was a sit and it's like kind of houses set up and show you what the vision for the connected home is and beyond that what you can do with your home right now and some stuff that like maybe might be coming I so I am at the Bosch booth in CES 2018 I think they have one of the most comprehensive smart home visions what that means for a smart home is obviously all of your devices are connected that connectivity goes with you whether you are on the road whether you're traveling for work the way you're sitting on your couch using your voice you can control what's in your home and I think more importantly make your home work for you so obviously you can use your voice to change the thermostat change the temperature up and down that stuff that we've seen use your voice to control 360-degree cameras and then hide that camera so it's not on all the time having things like smart switches and smart outlets they can plug anything into and something that takes them lion obviously beyond that using your phone it's using an app to control everything in your home but there are also times when you're not near an Alexa or when stable device you don't have your phone with you you want to think sort of tangible to control all of these things it's up the call to twist about right on your wall and magnetically you can turn pull it off you can physically see all the things Eve patrol in your home control them move them change temperatures move cameras closed doors put it right back on the wall and you're good to go so my vision of Smart Hub I think it's twofold to make my life easier and to solve problems so behind me we've got the rock star it's a robot vacuum from Bosch so we've seen robot vacuums now for a super long time but this does a few new things that we haven't seen before so first it'll use lasers to map out your house and you can set sort of go or no-go zones on my house I've got pets and their food and water bowls around the floor I've got robot vacuums that I set to go and end up just pushing them all over the place so I could set a no-go area that's kind of cool gonna of course you can control it also from your phone so all that stuff are things that exist but it wouldn't be CES without sort of concept stuff that we might see like we've seen smart lamps before you can turn them on from your phone with this lamp as a projector the projected image down and all stirred into a touchscreen we've got it set up to even play games to see the air temperature project anything to see your doorbell that's another way to interact with surfaces it's obviously being the Kinect at home kitchens gonna be a big part of it all of your stuff they use at home can be connected things like your oven your coffee machine even your dishwasher you can be notified via if to set up a custom pattern when a dishwasher is done or the dryer cycles done flash the lights or play your favorite song another way you could make your house smart so there's a lot of cool potential for the Kinect at home a lot of stuff is here now and a lot of stuff I think it's so coming that future things were waiting for things like smart glass and smart mirrors serve on the cusp of a coming reality but Bosch has here and now is absolutely awesome so if you want to know how to never search for a parking spot again hit the link down below got a longer cut that's gonna explain that a ton of other cool ways to use the Internet of Things to make your life easier hope you guys enjoy it of course subscribe it the belt icons get notified when new CES videos are coming your way until next time I'm John Ranger from TechnoBuffalo and I legit feel like I'm standing in the future
