Switchbot Hub 2 Review: Must-Have Smart Home Gadget
SwitchBot Hub Mini was my favorite smart home device, but not anymore. Meet Switchbot Hub 2.
Briefly, the SwitchBot Hub 2 is a device that can turn most IR-controlled devices into smart devices. It does so by learning the IR signal of your remote control and imitating the same. Unlike the previous model, the Hub 2 measures and displays room temperature, humidity & illumination. Since it connects to WiFi, all the data and the remote control are accessible from anywhere.
The Upgrade from V1
The SwitchBot Smart Hub Mini was one of their highest-selling products, if not the highest selling product, on Amazon. It has racked up over 40,000 ratings. Surprisingly, SwitchBot was also selling a thermometer hygrometer combo device. Essentially, they took the Hub and the Thermo Hygrometer and combined them to create the SwitchBot Hub 2.
Unlike the Hub 1, this version is matter supported and hence, it works with Apple homekit.

Otus – Personal AI Eye Trainer
Otus is a gadget that may not be very cool but it certainly is very useful. It is an eye massager that is designed to help exercise your eyes to keep them sharp and strong.
Otus is for everyone but it is more effective for older people with far-sightedness. It is also great for children. If started early, it helps maintain eye health and delay any impending eye-sight deterioration. It does so by creating a blur-unblur effect which forces your eye muscles to activate and move.
The manufacturer says it can help reduce eye lens correction if used for over 3 months straight but we don't have enough data to back it up yet. But, all I can say is when I tested this gadget, it did relax my eyes. The blur-unblur effect is strong.
WOWCube – 2X2 Digital Cube
WOWCube is hands-on the coolest gadget I saw at CES. It's got this really bright, vivid display, smooth motion and fun games. Advertised as a STEM gadget, Wowcube can stimulate your brain and improve your cognitive functions.
It is a 2 X 2 cube with digital displays on all sides. You can use the blocks to show some cool animation, news, stock alerts and whatnot. In the gaming mode, each block shows a piece of a puzzle that you need to solve.
There are many games that work with it, one of which is the ladybug. In this game, you build a path for the ladybug to reach her destination. It is not easy but it is very enjoyable.

The ZeroWheel features a powerful motor that offers 5 levels of resistance, as well as LED lights on either side of the wheel. It also connects to your smartphone and provides you with insights and workout information. There are four main modes to choose from, including burn, aerobic, assistance, and resistance.
The motor is smart enough to provide you assistance during your exercises. It is like a spotter in the gym. In the resistance mode, the motor works against you, offering more resistance. The product is portable but not very lightweight. I heard from their team that the final version is going to be
Wemorii One Home – Smart Inhalation Therapy Device
Wemorii is a smart inhalation therapy wellness device. It creates scents to suit different moods. There are 4 modes depending on your mood and comfort. Sleep, Energy, Immunity and Stress Relief.
It has 3 vials and 24 different recipes can be created by mixing those vials. Each recipe is paired with a mood light to enhance the therapy experience. Everything can be controlled and customized through their smartphone app connected over WiFi.
On regular use, each vial should last about a month or so. Vials are nothing but pods with oils. Refills are available on their website for $30 per vial. It seems quite expensive to me.
The device uses a 12V power source but lacks a USB C input. Wemorii One Home is expected to hit the market in Q2 of 2023 at a price tag of $299
Heat It – Insect Bite Healer
Heat It is a device that could heal insect bites, mainly mosquitoes, bees and horseflies. It does so by creating a warm spot on your skin that reduces histamine. It is a tiny phone attachment, works with both Android and iPhones.
The device is plug and play, you connect Heat It to your phone’s charging port, open the app and start applying the heat to your skin. Depending on the itchiness, you might want to adjust the duration. There is an LED indicator on the device.
Their smartphone app has different settings and whatnot. There are 12 heat-based personalization levels and the max temperature it can achieve is 124°F.
I was skeptical about this product but upon reading reviews on Amazon, I’m certain that Heat It works. This is a great accessory for outdoor use, especially for camping, trekking, etc.
Pact Muscle Scanner
Pact is a smart scanner that measures the mechanical state of your muscles. By calculating the stiffness and damping of muscles, you will know if there is any asymmetry between your right and left sides. Not just that, it will also give you recommendations on how to fix it.
Pact connects to your smartphone and comes with an app to control it. The app also shows you where to put the scanner and how long. Note that for accurate results, you will have to place the scanner on the exact same spot on each side of your body. For example, if you scan your left bicep first, you’ll have to put the scanner on the exact same spot on the right bicep as well.
The battery life is about 4 weeks and it is rechargeable (takes about an hour to recharge). Pact muscle scanner is best for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Moen Smart Shower
Moen has been producing some of the most helpful smart home products for a while now and I recently got a chance to check out their latest smart shower. Unlike a traditional shower, this one connects to WiFi and can be operated in different ways.
There are three methods of shower control but the most useful one would be through voice assistants like Google/Alexa. The Smart Shower also has temperature control. Meaning, you can ask the shower to set the water temperature to 100°F and in seconds, Moen shower automatically adjusts the temperature.
The shower is customizable based on your personal preference. All of this can be done through Moen app.
AirCozy Premium – Smart Pillow
Aircozy is a smart, connected pillow that can increase its height based on your sleeping position. For example, if you are sleeping on your back and change the position to side sleeping, the pillow auto adjusts its height to keep your airways open. With this, you'll have better sleep at night and wake up refreshed.
The pillow also features a speaker. It connects to your smartphone over Bluetooth. You can play music or white noise on the speaker.
One caveat with this product is that it comes with a wearable attachment that needs to be worn all night. It is a very tiny, lightweight clip and has to be clipped to your pants. That is where you have sensors to determine your sleeping angles.
RoLand V-Drums TD-02 – Digital Drum Set
At CES this year, I checked out Roland's V-drums electronic drumset and fell in love with it. Unlike the traditional drum set, this one can only produce digital sound. It connects to your laptop or phone. Each stroke on the drum panels produces sounds that can either be heard or recorded using their computer software.
The computer software comes with different customization options. It also teaches how to play drum and get good at it. There are different drum types and sound effects that can be chosen.
The drumset is height adjustable and it is great for kids and adult hobbyists. It is also perfect for someone who wants to enjoy playing drums without having to pay thousands of dollars.
Mobile Pixels Mini – Shockingly Small Mouse
Recent;y. I was able to get my hands on Mobile Pixel's mini mouse and I think it is a really cool product. The mouse features buttons, hand gesture controls and a laser pointer.
Like a traditional mouse, you have right and left click buttons. You can make use of gesture control for scrolling. The laser pointer helps you during presentations, guiding, etc. I was skeptical of the laser pointer but when I tested it, I was surprised to see how bright it was.
The mini mouse is extremely lightweight and can easily be carried in your pocket. Beware, it is easy to lose them too, they are tiny.

LG's latest gaming speaker features customizable RGB lights to bring a cool gaming look to your desk. I think this is one of the coolest gadgets you could have under your monitor.
The sound quality and bass are really good. You can also customize your sound profile. The speaker also features a microphone that has surround noise cancelling and echo canceling features. This is perfect if you are a streamer/multiplayer gamer who uses voice chat a lot.
The speaker pairs with your smartphone and can be operated with LG's app.
Tubicen – Rechargeable Aesthetic Lamps
If you ask me, I'd say Tubicen creates the most aesthetic yet affordable lamps in the world. Look at some of their lights, very elegant yet minimal.
Tubicen has a bunch of lamps in different shapes and sizes. I recently checked out their Lantern, Mushroom lamp, Old days lamp, Amber lamp and a couple more. Personally, I absolutely loved the design and aesthetic aspects of them. Those lights are very lightweight, easy to operate and mainly, they work great.
All of these lights are cordless and are powered by a rechargeable battery. Their latest Lantern and Mushroom lights are so cool. I heard from their team that their best seller is the Dawn Lamp.
On their website, you have a variety of lamps to choose from. Some of their products are also on Amazon, check them out.
Govee Glide Y Lights
I recently had my hands on these Y lights from Govee and totally fell in love with them. Unlike any of their previous modular lights, the Glide RGBIC Y lights feature a metallic surface that makes the blocks look so aesthetic even when the lights are off.
Since these are modular lights, you can connect multiple of them together to make different, complex shapes and styles. The base version comes with 7 blocks but I think you can add up to 21 blocks.
Glide Y lights feature 40+ scene modes and everything can be controlled through their smartphone app. The app is also used to control and configure music modes, scenes, daily scheduling, and more.
