Kasa Smart Lights come ready to party or give your home a vintage, classic glow

Do LED lights leave you cold? TP-Link introduced three new Kasa Smart lights that can illuminate your home with individual vintage hue bulbs or add drama and excitement with infinite color multi-zone light strips.

“We are excited to bring the latest lighting innovations to the Kasa Smart lineup, helping to turn every home into a smart home,” said David Li, CEO of TP-Link Research America. “Our amazing new Vintage LED Filament Bulbs are a modern classic, while our new Light Strips let you easily customize any room with endless lighting effects and colors.”

All three new Kasa Smart lighting products work without a hub and respond to voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also use Kasa’s mobile app to turn the lights on and off, set up lighting schedules, and monitor energy usage.

KL50 Kasa Vintage Soft White LED Filament Bulb

Kasa Smart’s KL50 Kasa Vintage soft white LED filament bulb resembles an incandescent light bulb. The KL50 combines retro design and a familiar soft white glow with smart bulb control. Available now, the Kasa Smart KL50 Vintage soft white LED filament bulb lists for $17.

KL60 Kasa Vintage Warm Amber LED Filament Bulb

The Kasa Smart KL60 Kasa Vintage warm amber, Edison-style LED filament bulb casts the historic hue of early incandescent lamps that were the color of candlelight. The KL60 bulb is dimmable so you can further adjust a room’s lighting mood. The

KL430 Kasa Smart Multicolor Light Strip

If you like to design with lighting colors, Kasa Smart’s KL430 2-meter multicolor light strip is ready to party or brighten your day. You can decorate spaces with pretty much any combination of lighting effects or colors you can think of. Each KL430 strip has 16 individually controllable color zones ready to party down with ten pre-set animated lighting effects. According to a TP-Link representative, a customization feature software update for the Kasa mobile app due in early 2020 will allow users to set up their own effects. You can add optional multiple Kasa Smart KL430E meter-long extensions to the Multicolor Light Strip using 4-pronged connectors on the ends of the strip to a total of 33 feet, roughly 10 meters.

The

retails for $70 and becomes available on October 23, 2019. The KL430E extension strips will be available in December for $25 each.

Ultraloq showcases the first-ever ultra-wideband smart lock at CES 2025
Bolt Mission UWB + NFC installed on a white door.

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
The Ulticam IQ installed outside a home.

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.
