CES 2019 is underway, and even if you’re not a huge tech nerd, there’s one theme that you won’t be able to get away from: Smart home.

Philips Hue has been having a holiday outage, too
Alexa wasn’t the only thing that crashed over Christmas due to an influx of new users. Apparently, Philips Hue has been having an outage, as well. A multi-day outage, in fact.

Amazon is so thoughtful, guys. They know that Prime Day is going to be a total chaos, so they’ve been dropping deals early for the past week in order to give Prime members less of a panic attack on July 16 and 17.
Today, the countdown to Prime Day continues: Amazon is offering a Philips Hue Smart Lighting Starter Kit (complete with two smart light bulbs, a central hub, and an Echo Dot) all for $69.99.

Not only are PLAYBULB Smart Lights better for the environment than normal lights (and we know Mother Nature needs all the help she can get), but they’re controlled via smartphone.

These easy-to-use smart lights automatically charge themselves throughout the day and can be turned on using your iOS or Android device. They can also be placed pretty much anywhere with the included stakes and have IP68 waterproofing, so you don’t have to worry about damage from the elements or wild pool parties.

Smart lights with neon colors or motion sensing capabilities aren’t new — in fact, they’ve been one of the hottest buys in the past year. But most of these lamps only have one feature, and unless you, uh, have five bedside tables, you’re probably forced to choose your favorite feature and miss out on the others.
However, this smart nightlight seems to do practically everything, and is about to have you feeling like Steve Carell in Anchorman. Read more…
