The 5 Smart Home Trends CES 2026 Made Impossible to Ignore

CES 2026 made one thing clear: the smart home is getting less annoying — and a lot more automated. In this video, I break down the 5 biggest CES 2026 smart home trends that I think will actually matter in real homes this year, with quick takeaways from the show floor. ✅ What you’ll see in this video • Robot mowers are everywhere (smarter, cheaper, and way more wire-free options) • True hands-free entry with UWB smart locks (and why Aliro is the key standard to watch) • The rise of the “private security guard”: local AI camera boxes processing footage on-site • The death of the motion sensor: mmWave presence sensing that detects you even when you’re still • Lighting that reacts: Govee + immersion lighting going more mainstream 🔒 Aqara U400 testing update: I have the Aqara U400 installed and I’m actively testing it. Early note: UWB hands-free unlock works on iPhone right now, and I was told Samsung Wallet support is coming in Q1 2026. 🎥 More CES deep dives • Mammotion CES 2026 Deep Dive (dedicated video): https://youtu.be/qCQ1PrpLrbU • ECOVACS CES 2026 Deep Dive (dedicated video): https://youtu.be/I-W1mbtzQaQ ⏱️ Chapters [COMING SOON] 🧰 Products / brands mentioned Mammotion, ECOVACS, Yarbo, Aqara (U400 / W200), Reolink, SwitchBot, TP-Link, Govee 🚜 LUBA 3 AWD (Flagship Robot Mower) https://us.mammotion.com/products/luba-3-awd-robot-lawn-mower?ref=uybaigmm Aqara U400 - UWB Lock: https://amzn.to/3ZByn4q 📌 Disclosure Some products shown may be provided for review; opinions are my own.
