Following CES 2026, Dewenils introduced an outdoor smart plug priced under $25, available in single or dual‑outlet versions. Unlike typical plugs, it can dim exterior filament bulbs and ships with a handheld remote for on/off and dimming. Built‑in Matter support lets it integrate seamlessly with Apple Home.

The episode’s deep dive featured Aqara’s U400 smart lock, the first to embed UWB for automatic unlocking as you approach. It works natively with Home Key in Apple Home, with Aliro support slated later. Users can also access a keypad, fingerprint scanner, NFC tag, or traditional key.

Govee’s Nugget Ice Maker Pro arrives without Matter but resolves common ice‑maker quirks: large capacity, visible water level, near‑silent operation, and chewable nugget ice controllable via the Govee app. Ikea unveiled a Matter‑over‑Thread lineup of more than twenty devices, including bulbs, a dual‑button switch and motion sensor, all reporting quick, reliable command execution after an initial network settle period.
