Measure 13 unique biometrics with the new Wyze Scale X

Wyze has revealed the Scale X — a new smart scale that helps monitor weight, body fat percentage, heart rate, and more. The product is positioned as a premium version of the existing Wyze Scale and will retail for $34.

Compared to the original Wyze Scale, the Wyze Scale X offers improved battery life, a sleek new design (available in both black and white), and several new modes that make it easier to weigh luggage, pets, and children. The list of metrics it can monitor is lengthy, and includes the following:

All these values are easy to track, as the smart scale can sync with popular apps such as Apple Health, Google Fit, and Fitbit. It also syncs with Wyze’s own smartphone software, which can be used to monitor your heart rate.

Each Wyze Scale X can support up to eight different user profiles. It can even automatically identify who is standing on the scale and instantly load their data. Once it’s done performing its Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) and generating your day’s stats, they can be easily read on the 3.5-inch LED display. If you’d rather not have your data tracked, there’s the option to take one-off readings for yourself or a guest.

The Wyze Scale X joins a growing list of smart scales, although many carry price tags well above that of the Scale X. If you’re interested in adding one to your home, be sure to peruse our list of the best smart scales before making a selection.

The Ring Battery Doorbell is the successor to the popular Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen). Both offer many of the same features -- and if you’re a current owner of the Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Gen), you’re probably wondering if upgrading to the Ring Battery Doorbell is worthwhile. Here’s a look at the two video doorbells to help you decide which is best for your home.

SimpliSafe launches AI-powered detection system alongside the new Outdoor Security Camera Series 2

After spending some time in early access, SimpliSafe’s Active Guard Outdoor Protection feature is now available to the public. Using AI technology in conjunction with its team of security experts, Active Guard Outdoor Protection is designed to detect and stop crime before it happens. It’s available on the new Outdoor Security Camera Series 2, though you’ll need to enroll in a monthly membership to get full use of the service.

SimpliSafe isn’t new to the world of AI-powered crime prevention, as you’ll already find a similar feature on the Smart Alarm Wireless Indoor Camera. That functionality is great -- but if an indoor camera is picking up intruders, it means they’ve already made it inside your home. The Outdoor Security Camera Series 2 and Active Guard Outdoor Protection are looking to fix that, as the system can react to threats and alert SimpliSafe agents within 30 seconds of catching a motion event.
