what's going on guys to traverse consumer and it's time to talk about some new smart home tech but first we've got to take a look at a pretty interesting piece of smart home tech that I was able to check out at CES this is the sunflower by shade craft and they were cool enough to sponsor today's video and give me exclusive access to the sunflower before it's released this is the world's first autonomous shade and if you're wondering what that means you can basically think of it as a shade for your patio or backyard that'll automatically means depending on the position of the Sun without you having to lift a finger thanks to some awesome AI it's also jam-packed with a ton of features like having built-in cameras for added home security built-in speakers for jamming outdoors and hecht it's even got some USB ports to charge your phone while you're chilling outside and speaking of charging this thing is solar powered so it's always gonna be good to go it'll even have an app so you can control yourself as well as have access to a bunch more features and I gotta say guys this is probably one of the most unique things I saw at CES but if you want to learn more I'll be sure to have links down below now I've been getting a ton of questions about those lights right behind me and with good reason these other Aurora by nano leaves and these are seriously changing the game when it comes to dope lighting for your home or setup the Aurora can be manipulated into a variety of different shapes and I love what I came up with for mine but you can get even more creative if you want simply think up the shape you want stick the included 3m tape to the back and put this little card on the side to connect the adjoining one and boom you're good to start sticking them on your wall so if you make a mistake you can pop them off and reposition them now in terms of what can actually be done with these lights you can pretty much do anything you can tap on any of the lights and create your own color scheme but if you lack creativity there are different themes like Nemo flames for steam and a bunch more I'm really liking the look of those so you guys can definitely expect to see them in more videos now I couldn't possibly make this list without mentioning the awesome home assistance the Amazon echo and the Google home the Amazon echo has been out for about two years now and the Google Home has recently come out but both are pretty comparable the best thing about these assistants is that they can work with various smart home tech and allow you to interact with them just by using your voice and I do this with all the lights in my game room and throw out the rest of my studio as well as all my lights at home and as of right now since Alexa has been out longer it works with more smart home tech but Google home is definitely going to catch up they can also answer random questions provide traffic information tell you the weather and do a ton of other things and through my experience I found that Google home has a better time answering random questions which makes sense because Google but I love them both and my setup wouldn't be the same without them so if you're trying to decide which is best for you check up the showdown comparison area and I did between the two and I'll have the link listed down below in the description and if those kind of features sound cool but you don't want to spend that kind of money Amazon echo has a smaller version called the echo dot which only costs 50 bucks which is a steal it's a steal so definitely take a look at that if you want all those cool features now if there's a device that you love and it isn't Alexa compatible it's not a smart home device here's a good option this is the tp-link smart plug you can plug in your device like a random lamp or even a TV and you'll be able to turn them on or off right through the app and what's even better is that you can do this from anywhere as long as you're connected to the Internet and if you do have an Amazon echo you'll be able to control that device with your voice the voice controls the future folks I swear it is a pretty simple device but is essential if you want up your smart home game next up is the I live v 3s robotic vacuum cleaner this is a sleek this that detects and cleans up dirt and other annoyances like animal fur or hair right off your floor so if you or someone you know is pet has a shedding issue this is gonna be perfect it has sensors all around it that keep it from bumping into furniture or falling down stairs so there's no need to watch it that closely when it's doing its job but if you do want control over it there's a remote that you can use that targets the cleaning and you can even make a schedule that allows you to clean at certain times of the day which is really nice if you want to get back to a clean home after work or school one thing to note is that it works really well on hardwood floors and should be fine with really thin rugs but if you have a thick carpet or you'd like some mopping functions then you might want to take a look at the a4 or the v5 s which will run you about thirty dollars more and I'll throw links to those in the description as well and last but not least we've got the Moxie showerhead and wireless speaker and this is exactly what it sounds like it's a showerhead that plays music the speaker connects through bluetooth to devices that are up to 32 feet away and it's even a bit louder than I would expect it acts the same as any other wireless speaker so you'll need to recharge it by popping it out of the showerhead which is super easy and as an added bonus the showerhead comes in a variety of finishes so you'll be able to match it seamlessly with the rest of your bathroom hardware and you cannot tell me that this isn't perfect for people who love to sing in the shower but huge shout out to my boy danny winget actually saw it in his video and I was like this is cool I've got to share it with you guys I'll have a link to his channel down below in the description so go check him out pretty good stuff but that about wraps it up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it and I'll catch you in the next one peace
