CES, the primary showcase for what’s new in products in the consumer electronics industry, is fast approaching. In the lead-up to its run on Jan. 7 to Jan. 10 in Las Vegas, there has been heightened buzz on what’s trending in home tech. Realtors continue to say that the post-pandemic desire for home amenities, such as gyms, movie rooms, offices and spas, has become a permanent shift in lifestyle. According to Steven Hummel, a producer of CES at the Consumer Technology Association, the smart home ecosystem now encompasses home security, energy management, sleep technologies, home wellness assistants, smart appliances, home robots and smart TVs. Advances in artificial intelligence are also having an enormous impact on home tech, improving the capacity of devices to personalize user preferences, and providing more accurate and timely alerts. Here are a few new home tech devices to keep an eye on in 2025, both at CES and beyond.
AIRES TECH LIFETUNE ZONE MAX

Technology is woven into every part of our daily lives, particularly in the home, with smartphones, WiFi routers, laptops, gaming systems and more. But these devices emit electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation. As dependence on technology grows, so does our exposure to harmful EMF effects of EMF (headaches, tiredness, depression, lack of concentration). The Aires Tech Lifetune Zone Max neutralizes EMF, creating fields more compatible with naturally created biological EMF. Aires Tech products aim to reduce the potentially harmful effects of artificial EMFs by creating an environment that supports the body’s natural electromagnetic activities while not interfering with electronic devices’ communication functionalities.

Voice assistant technology, such as Amazon Alexa, has become an integral part of smart homes, allowing homeowners to control home security, lights and temperature from any location. There’s an increasing focus on better energy consumption recommendations based on user habits and preferences, as well as sustainability, and now voice assistants can integrate with solar panels and other renewable energy sources in the home.

Fully automated, AI-powered barbecues are the next generation in grilling.

VERA takes full control of the cooking process or follows your leadership. You can smoke, grill, braise, roast, sear and even bake, all on a single wood-fired grill, and work off hundreds of recipes.
