Due to the evolving Covid-19 pandemic, CES 2022 experienced fewer attendants, but that hasn’t stopped the smart home innovations from flowing in.
A mixed bag of high-tech gadgets and smart homes devices shined through CES 2022. As more and more smart home products steal the show, below are a few brands that caught our eye, with their intelligent products.

Roborock presents its S7 MaxV Ultra cleaner at the 2022 CES. This new product can recognize the type of the room and customize the cleaning program accordingly.
The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra is equipped with an RGB camera, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor, and a structured light scanning system. LiDAR is known for its precise mapping capabilities, whereas structured light scanning systems are popular for scanning objects in real-time. With its sensors, this cleaning bot creates a 3D map of the house. Robo rock claims to maneuver without running into obstacles such as wires, shoes, and even pet waste.
Having a suction power of up to 5,100Pa, it also comes with “sonic vibration” technology that scrubs the floor up to 3,000 times per minute. For wet mopping, it holds up to 200 ml water. The bot cleaner has a 5,200mAh battery, which powers for 180 minutes on a single charge.

The SmartSlydr is easy to install & set up without the requirement of any special tools.
- Noveto Smart Beaming
Rewriting history, where there were only two ways to listen to the sound, publicly via speakers or privately while wearing headphones, Noveto presents its new technology that beams sound just outside the user’s ears creating a personal sensory listening area, without the use of headphones and without disturbing others around.
Noveto Audio Technology works using non-audible acoustic waves, which are pushed into the air via the Proprietary Noveto Transducer Array which is controlled by Noveto’s patented chipset and software. With a look of many ultra-small speakers, the proprietary Noveto transducer array places audio just outside of the user’s ears. With the help of a 3D sensing module and a built-in camera, the hardware tracks the position of the user’s ears in real-time. This new technology is also capable of creating 3D spatial sounds and can even place sounds anywhere in space regardless of head movement.
- Rain Stick
RainStick brings forward an innovative way to shower, with a WiFi-enabled shower system, that increases the flow rate by 2x, compared to a traditional shower. Long, hot showers are often considered as wasting water and have a negative impact on the shower experience.
The Rainstick saves up to 80% energy and 80% of water usage. It is a better way to shower, proving that sustainability can be achieved without sacrifice. RainStick is a recirculating shower that cuts energy and water while still feeling like a high-pressure shower. Users can lessen their environmental impact and save on utilities.
- Sengled
Introducing many new products, the smart lighting company Sengled pledged its support for Matter, the new smart home standard. One of the intriguing products is the Smart Health Monitoring bulb.
