The original AquaSense Series was wildly popular when it hit the market in early 2024, and at CES 2025, Beatbot officially revealed its successor, the AquaSense 2 Series. Consisting of three robotic pool cleaners and starting at $1,500, Series 2 models are designed to automate all aspects of pool cleaning. The high-end AquaSense 2 Ultra even incorporates AI technology into the mix, promising a superior clean.

AquaSense 2 is the most affordable of the trio at $1,499, yet the three-in-one pool cleaner is still pretty well-rounded. It can clean floors, walls, and the waterline, and can run for up to four hours before needing a recharge. Toss in obstacle detection, four unique cleaning modes, and an array of 16 sensors, and it’s well-suited for most pools.

Step up to the AquaSense 2 Pro at $2,499, and you’ll get a handful of additional features. These include the ability to clean the water surface and carry out water clarification tasks. It even benefits from six additional sensors and manual remote navigation so you can help it navigate any tricky sections of your pool.

The most impressive robot in the lineup is the AquaSense 2 Ultra — though it carries the premium price of $3,450. That makes it one of the most expensive robotic pool cleaners on the market. However, it backs up that eye-watering price tag with plenty of features you won’t find anywhere else. Its coolest feature is HybridSense AI Pool Mapping, which uses an array of 27 sensors to clean the surface, waterline, floor, and walls, as well as perform water clarification tasks. Unlike the other two robots, it also features two side brushes for an improved clean.

All three are designed to work with above-ground and in-ground pools and cover 300 square meters. They can also handle pools of any shape, ensuring they’re a good fit for nearly all shoppers. The AquaSense 2 Ultra is the most exciting of the trio, as its AI capabilities should make it a serious upgrade over the existing AquaSense Pro. Compared to the old AquaSense Pro, it gets you two additional motors and seven additional sensors, along with AI support, and it’s poised to make a splash when it hits the market on February 10.

If you can’t wait until February, check out the best robotic pool cleaners for a list of alternatives that are available right now.

Ultraloq showcases the first-ever ultra-wideband smart lock at CES 2025

Ultraloq showed off two smart locks at CES 2025 -- one of which is the first smart lock to ever offer ultra-wideband (UWB) support. The Ultraloq Bolt Mission UWB + NFC uses UWB technology to unlock automatically as you approach your front door. Similar functionality already exists on other smart locks, but UWB should allow the Ultraloq Bolt Mission to be more accurate than the competition.

The Bolt Mission uses technology similar to digital car keys, and Ultraloq says it can track the keyholder’s phone location with “centimeter-level” accuracy. As your phone gets closer to the front door, the Bolt Mission can be programmed to automatically unlock, giving you a hands-free way to get inside. Better yet, because the smart lock can detect both your distance and direction from the front door, it should prevent you from accidentally unlocking the smart lock while inside your home.

Ulticam shows off three AI-powered security cameras at CES 2025

Ulticam, the new security camera brand of Xthings, revealed a lineup of three AI-powered cameras at CES 2025. The Ulticam IQ, Ulticam IQ Floodlight, and Ulticam Dot offer not just cool AI capabilities, but also free seven-day cloud storage -- which could make them a solid choice for value-minded shoppers leery about signing up for monthly storage plans.

The Ulticam IQ and IQ Floodlight are the main attractions, as they're packed with features that should pose solid competition for the best smart security cameras from Arlo, Nest, and Ring. The duo uses edge AI to quickly identify people, vehicles, and packages without needing to upload the video for server-side processing. This onboard processing should result in faster performance -- it’s also great for privacy and security, as your footage doesn’t have to leave your device.

Home Depot expands Hubspace smart home lineup at CES 2025

Hubspace, Home Depot’s smart home platform, has seen impressive growth over the past few years, and that growth continued at CES 2025. Three new gadgets were revealed at the event, including a wireless power switch to control Hubspace products, a portable air conditioner, and a window-mounted air conditioner. All three are unique additions to the catalog -- and since there’s not much like them on the market, they should quickly become popular options in their respective niches.

The Hubspace Remote Switch is arguably the most useful of the three gadgets. Designed to look like a light switch, but with a removable remote controller, it works with select Hubspace light bulbs, fixtures, plugs, power sockets, surge protectors, and more. You’ll get standard on and off functions, plus access to brightness controls. Its sleek looks and versatility should make it a great choice for shoppers seeking an entry-level smart switch.
