23 BEST Things I saw in Vegas at CES 2023!

This was my 7th year in person at CES and it was a blast! Hey if you haven't subscribed yet do it here! bit.ly/3joO1dZ

Great video! For some reason it's been hard this year to find a good CES overview video. Too many of them have been hyper focused on just a few devices but this is much better and to the point.

To me this was the most real, useful and entertaining CES Recap I've seen this year and I had kinda seen all the big Clip-Sharers and media houses reports/recaps. Thanks mate.

As usual, you provide the best CES coverage. Thank you once again!

You did a great job! You covered a range of items and described them very well. I almost feel like I was there! 😁 Thank you!

Wow, If CES comes out with half of the items displayed I’ll be amazed. Your great at explaining a lot of the new Tech changes out there & id still love to get exactly what’s the difference between Matter & Thread! Thanks

This is the type of video I was looking for to learn about CES 2023. Thank you so much! It's so much better than the other videos that are out there.

Incredible video! It's always exciting to see the latest and greatest technology and innovations on display at CES. I appreciated the variety of products and technologies you highlighted, it gave a great overview of what's new and trending.

The slim vacuum is probably just using stationary LiDAR, which scans what’s right in front of the device. The spinning top on most is to provide a 360 view of what’s around the vacuum, which is more efficient at mapping

I use your videos every year in my English class! My freshmen students read dystopian literature with an introduction on smart technology and our lives. It's great to keep them interested by showing them the latest updates in our smart tech lives. Thanks for great videos each year.

Some pretty cool stuff there.
We have actually had flame detectors in the industrial sector for many years now, but nice to see a consumer product.
Also, I think I'll just let HA keep replicating my lighting when I'm away to imitate someone being home. 😁

Thank you for the CES overview, Reed.
Personally, as a septuagenarian, I would like to see more smart tech geared toward the needs of senior citizens - especially seniors with physical and cognitive impairment.
However, I was pleased to see the kitchen sensor that can detect open flames. As a memory patient, I often walk away from an active gas burner on the stove.
Of course, the show offers more tech than can be seen on one or two Clip-Share videos. But, between your coverage and LonTv's coverage, CES 2023 seems to be in a decline in terms of substantial innovation.
Kind regards,

The key takeaway from your video; and I quote “ Just when you thought CES couldn’t announce anymore unnecessary products…” Couldn’t have said it better.

7:57 "This gives me hope that our doorbells and home security cameras can someday have AI for person, pet, or package detection" surprise, Apple has had this for _years_ and it's been working great. Plus you don't have to worry about the security lapses like Eufy/Anker/Ring/Nest have had in the past years, repeatedly.
Personally I've been using the HomeKit Logi Circle View, but I've had good experiences with other ones as well, and for the face-height-mounted cameras/doorbells, there's an option (defaults to off, but can be turned on in Settings) to also learn faces, so you can receive notifications when _specific_ people are at your door, all done locally on-device rather than having the AI done over the cloud.
preliminary edit since I know y'all will ask the same questions over and over: We have cats, not dogs, have not tested on other pets but there's a dog or two in the neighborhood that sometimes come up to our porch and I still get notifications for that. So while I can only personally attest to extensive testing and support with cats, it does _appear_ to work with dogs too - as well as wrens making nests in our rafters by the camera, finches hunting for spiders, spiders running from finches, doves and pigeons chilling on the ground, and a neighborhood fox that loves all of the above. Lots of amusing notifications when pets/animals is turned on.
package detection was hit-or-miss due to some weird geometry on our porch causing really sharp 90° and 45° corner shadows. Sometimes these would cross over certain parts of our brown-colored front wall, and the corner of the ground meeting the wall plus a 'box shaped' shadow would fool the camera into thinking there was a package there, so I learned to just skip the notification if there wasn't _also_ a notification for motion or person beforehand. This was fixed after an update or two, and I have not had the issue again.
person detection was incredibly useful, sometimes too good. Our front porch has a window, which from the camera's perspective, is a mirror pointed at the street, so when people would walk by on the street, I would (initially) get notifications for this. At first I thought it was actually seeing people in the street, since it was an extremely wide-angle camera, so I went into homekit's settings and drew a bounding box to exclude the street from person notifications. They kept coming though, so once I watched the footage and realized it was reflections in the window, I adjusted the camera angle slightly and added a second bounding box on a small portion of the window to prevent tiny, faraway people silhouettes from setting off the alert. This did NOT stop the alert if someone was actually on our porch walking in front of the window, which was perfect.
lastly, car detection was also included, but none of us had cars, so I simply disabled it - homekit could identify a bicycle, though, so that is what we used instead. I cannot attest to any amount of good/bad results with car detection in homekit unfortunately, but I'm sure there's plenty of other people out there who can provide that.

This is the one video which describes CES the best. Although I love watching new innovations, I tend to have a love hate relation with it. I find that most of the technology is used on unwanted things, but I guess people who have a lot of money lying around could use those. :P

You made the best CES overview I’ve seen yet. Topped The Verge and all. Nice work.

This was one of my favorite CES videos this year. Good work!

2:18 excellent dad pun. Awesome video Reed! I definitely want to go to CES next year! I thought Samsung was getting out of making SmartThings hardware and was handing it over to Aeotec, but I guess not!

Looks like CES was more so paving the way for some future things, but looking forward to how next year really refines them.

One (small) downside to the SmartThings Station is that if you're charging a phone you'll more than likely have to move or remove the phone to press the smart buttons.

I would like to see a faucet that was controllable. Temp & pressure. You could have various presets and just press a button for what ever temp pressure you want. No more trying to blend it manually.

As you mentioned AI on cameras, I suggest you take a look at the Mobotix 7 series, their AI is very impressive and can do much more

One of the best things I saw at CES was you walking by!
Thanks for your putting together all the cool stuff and things I missed.

Love the new doorbell camera. Any thoughts as to whether it would run without a hub? I.e just connect to a HomePod mini?

Some of the tech in this expo looks like sci-fi 😃😃 am very excited for the future 💪💪 with all these interesting innovative ideas and appliances with AI coming up

Fantastic video. Concise highlights with just the right amount of humor. I’m pretty sure duct tape cornered the market on scream muffling decades ago.

The Lenovo dual display laptop with keyboard overlay reminded me of the 20 year old Sony Ericsson P800. One of the first camera phones I owned and the screen dynamically changed when I flipped the keyboard on top of the touch screen.

Thank you for the recap! This was exactly what I was looking for.

I like your honest reviews on these items, you can tell nobody is paying you to endorse stuff

Real nice video ! That's cover lots of things in a short time! Kept us entertained! Nice work! And thanks!

Even more cool then that first lawn mover is this one they actually currently sell (sorry forget the name) that can also sweep your patio and patrol your yard as a security device. It's crazy cool, also crazy expensive but if I had a yard big enough to need patrolling I'd get it.

Really good video Reed, it seems to be really cool to be at CES, maybe next year! And also, you talked a lot about matter, do you will make a video soon about it. Also, if we aren’t updating to matter does our current installation that is working with HA will still working?
Continue your good job!!

I’m a Yamaha waverunner engineer. Love this stuff! And love your videos! Ironically just talking about when electric boats will become more of a thing in the market this week.

Concerning the Robo vacuum. Must be loads of fun with the cat! They should even program it to talk to the cat and say things like "move it Fur ball"...

Surprising that it took so long with the inline skates.. only knew Thundrblade or self-made prototypes more than 10 years ago in different forums

Thanks Reed! Did you use Tesla's cars to get around at all? I was wondering how that worked with increased numbers of people. Was CES attendance back up to pre-covid levels?

Thank you for not doing 1000 videos for coverage. This gave me the convension vibe i didn't even know ces had. Great video

Well balanced view of the cool stuff, even forwarded the video to my dad and wife who are not tech savvy.

I'm not from USA and you have summarized the tech so well - thanks for this. That flame detector is really something I would like.

i love your videos! i wish i was able to go to ces! thanks for the epic vids!

I’ve seen countless 2023 CES videos and your still featured product I haven’t seen. Keep up the great work man.

Love your CES review, the best I've watched so far

About 13 years ago I was able to go to CES and I loved it.

your videos are always exceptional!

Almost all of your "Appliances with features you really don't need, but they made" ... I'm legitimately putting in my new smart bouse this year 😅
Have been tossing up between the Samsung/LG fridges. I think the Samsung Infinite is going to win out. I haven't got the oven with a camera. I have ordered the LG shoe steamer you glanced over and several of the Kohler shower/bath bits.
...definitely not getting the pee sensor 😂🤣😂

I'm glad you noticed that at least one of these devices has serious privacy implications. But others that you didn't mention do too.

A smart lock thats wirelessly charged with infrared would be the coolest thing, im buying the first one with apple home key. Not changing batteries every few months would be the best

I appreciate how thorough you were.

You forgot to mention the main purpose of Samsung's camera inside the oven, is not just to post your food on social media, is to recognize the food you put on and give you the estimated time it needs to be cooked, just like the June oven. btw the Nba flopping reference was on point lol.

a must have, not this year, but its great to see tech companies trying. Thank You! Whay care about matter ? it probably does not.

Thanks for sharing. I do always wonder about those automated lawnmower, what stops someone stealing it. For the Ring Car Cam. No chance, they have terrible privacy issues, guess they can now share your in car footage. Like they can with the door bell. And not E2E encryption. Is the VR Muzzle the new covid mask. LMAO. You imagine just thinking, nah today I'll have a blue color on my car, hmm maybe green. Crazy. I liked the Eve concepts. Love the Yogabook.

I think this year's CES doesn't seem to have any directly trendy technology that takes up a lot of space. But it seems to be very scattered in directions.
Mabye Matter?

Fantastic CES2023 summary video and narration, Smart Home Solver!

Also the fact that the stand mixer has a scale in it omg!!

Just by looking at the Ring Car Cam seems dystopian right there. Then again, here in NYC, MTA transit has cameras on most buses now since 10 years ago. Good video.

Your videos on CES are hands down the best. Every other video just covers the same 5 things, with bad video quality at that.
Greta shit ma dude, i watch every vid and was looking forward to this.

I couldn't help but notice that CES showcased products with little to no real-life added value. Feels like tech companies really jumped the shark this year. However, I owe it mostly to the macro economy/politics situation around the world, rather than each brand's alleged vision about next gen electronics represented by these trinkets. However, should I be wrong about this, then innovation is ultimately and utterly disconnected from reality.

1.3M views in 8 days is deserved. Most interesting CES coverage I've seen, also beats his videos on this channel.😅😅

Smart bulb question: I'm just trying to find a smart bulb that can schedule its white color (to be warm mornings/evenings and cool midday). That's it. Preferably over 1000 lumens but not required. I've watched all your smart bulb videos already, and I would have thought this would be a basic feature of bulbs, but they all only seem to schedule on/off and not white color.

Thank you for making this amazing video!

Very entertaining video, I thoroughly enjoyed it!! I loved your video so much that I subscribed to your channel!!😎

Great recap. Nice work!

smart things hub would also be nice if it was a wifi-repeater or AP or something to extend your wifi along with the smart network/new protocol/whatever

As always, great update!

Great coverage and nice to see you again!

Some people make so many useless tech while others come up with useful tech innovations that change the world😊

i loved your video of last year and now i just searched my youtube history to find your channel. Thanks for the great content

Watching this video explains our chip shortage. Sure was interesting too.

I just got a bespoke Samsung 3-door fridge after watching your video I've been looking online for those digital screens but does the only work on the four door one? It would be a lot cooler if they did! Great vid thx.

I have done the mosquito bite trick for 35 years with a simple lighter. Light tilt for 2-3 secs, apply to bite. WORKS!

Awesome video, all this tech makes me very excited but also kind of scared

The heat resistant camera in the oven is an necessary step to be able to have an AI controlled oven. Next year, we may very well have talking oven which will help you cook and watch your pizza for you.

Thank you for not being surface level and covering the same products as everyone else

There's actually a guy that lives not far from me that has a yard robot. I see it often in the summer. Looks nothing like these here. More like a big Roomba that just darts around his yard. First time I seen it I almost ran off the road.

ces is always so cool there so much tech and so much cool things keep up the work

Interesting to see that they really are full diving into matter and away from zigbee and z wave now.. i wonder how much those samsungs hubs will cost now lol

And I love your enthusiasm! Thank you for sharing!

Great report. Very entertaining. Did you see anything that can replace my Nutone whole-home intercom system?

I just bought the S7 ultra on black Friday and now I see that there coming out with another one with even more features, now I want that one🤦

I am surpised you didn't mention the Joieem e-bike that looks like it's straight out of Tron.

The stand mixer and the bathtub were my favorites. Wtf is wrong with me 😂

Thanks great coverage of things I’ll never need or use 😂

Nice! I had hoped to run into you at some point on the floor, but alas, no dice. There's always next year! :-) Great recap!

Great coverage video! Hope to see ya there next year

I remember the days when CES used to actually have NEW technologies. This is embarrassing for humanity.

Great video! You did not go to the Govee booth and review their stuff in detail?

Damn I was working on electronic color changing paint 7 years ago, wish I had a team of engineers

OK, I have to look up that heat it! Great recap, thanks!!

Excellent coverage.

Excelentes innovaciones

So many cool things!!
Kind of makes me sad that by the time they become the new normal, I'll be gone.
sigh.

The shade he threw with a light switch 😂😂😂😂

AI motion cams do raise privacy concerns and the u-scan can be useful for people who have history of kidney issues and of course kidney stones. Kidney stones are the most painful and annoying annoyance to anyone.

Great ... now I have to worry about ruining servos when decalcifying my shower head 😕

your videos are BANGER!

Best video I’ve seen yet of the show! Thanks!

Asilla - liked the product but rather than for security would it also work for someone living alone who collapses?

i wish i could go to ces but that means i have to fly halfway across the world :(

this duble screen laptop looks awesome

The voice muffling device is the best!!. Wish I'd thought about it
