Cool Smart Home Energy Picks
Did you miss out on this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES)? Then you’ve missed out on one of the best conventions for cool devices in the country. This year showed off an incredible variety of devices; from AI powered safety to wireless energy solutions. So take a break from shopping for the best electric suppliers and let’s explore our favorite 2026 CES smart home energy picks.
Smart Home Safety Lock
I was surprised to see smart locks on the floor this year, but one that stood out was the Lockin V7 Max. The device adds a little safety to existing locks when you can’t run wires (great for apartments). What stood out is that it works wirelessly, yet doesn’t need a recharge and doesn’t rely on solar power.
Green Battery Energy Alternative
Speaking of power solutions, Flint Labs came out with a cool paper battery. Paper batteries are not new concepts, they date from about 2007. But now, Flint has made a sustainable battery that only uses renewable materials. The result is one that pushes back against the high environmental cost of standard batteries. In short, it brings the power without the pollution and could easily replace the batteries for all your toys, games, and tools.
Versatile Home Music System
I was impressed with the Edifier M90 compact speakers. It’s designed for use with desktop PCs, but comes with HDMI support for tvs as well as turntable hook ups. It can run with bluetooth technology and seems to have strong clear sound. A great option if you like sound systems that be used for different setups.
Home Art and TV Screen
I know a lot of people like having artwork hanging up on the wall. But it’s hard to find room for art if you’ve got to design around a big widescreen TV. The Amazon Ember Artline TVs ask, “why not do both”? It’s designed to look like a picture frame and display artwork when you aren’t watching your favorite movies.
Incredible Wireless Home Energy
But no device caught my eye quite like this mind-blowing wireless charging solution from Willo. The company behind this device wants to build a charging station that quietly fuels your devices as you walk around your home. This includes charging the phone in your pocket while watching tv or charging a drawing tablet as you walk around your home. Best of all, they want to design the device to be a simple cube that blends in with your home decor.
