This year, the focus has shifted. It is no longer just about connecting devices for the sake of it. The conversation has moved towards the "zero-labour home", where AI and robotics quietly take the work off our hands. For property developers and home brands, these are not just gadgets; they are the future features that will define desirable living spaces.

We have been tracking the announcements closely. Here are the top 10 home technology innovations from CES 2026 that we think are truly next-level.

1. LG CLOiD: The AI Housekeeper

The dream of a robot butler is inching closer to reality. LG unveiled CLOiD, a home robot that goes far beyond vacuuming. Unlike its single-task predecessors, CLOiD is designed to be a multi-skilled assistant capable of folding laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and even helping with cooking prep. It uses advanced AI to understand the complex environment of a busy household. Read more about LG's CLOiD robot here

2. Roborock Saros Rover

Robot vacuums have always had one major nemesis: stairs. Roborock has finally solved this with the Saros Rover. This device features an innovative wheel-leg architecture that allows it to lift itself up and climb stairs, cleaning each step as it goes. It can even hop over obstacles. For multi-storey homes, this is an absolute game-changer. See the Roborock Saros Rover in action

3. Samsung Micro RGB TV

Screens are becoming architectural features rather than just black boxes. Samsung’s new 130-inch Micro RGB TV is designed to look like a massive gallery window. By using red, green, and blue LEDs instead of traditional white backlights, it offers incredible brightness and colour accuracy without the need for filters. It is "technology as art" and perfect for the high-end property market. Check out Samsung's Micro RGB technology

4. Lockin V7 Max with AuraCharge

Smart locks are essential for modern security, but battery life is a constant headache. Lockin has introduced AuraCharge, a system that transmits power wirelessly through the air to your lock. Coupled with the V7 Max, which uses palm-vein authentication for touch-free access, this technology makes home security feel seamless and invisible. Discover more about the Lockin V7 Max

5. GE Profile Smart Fridge with Kitchen Assistant

The kitchen is getting a serious brain upgrade. The new GE Profile 4-Door Refrigerator features an AI-powered "Kitchen Assistant" and a built-in barcode scanner. It tracks your groceries, automatically adds low-stock items to your shopping list, and suggests recipes based on what you have inside to reduce waste. It is like having a digital sous-chef.Read about the GE Profile Smart Fridge

6. Seattle Ultrasonics C-200 Chef’s Knife

Sometimes the coolest tech is the most surprising. Seattle Ultrasonics debuted the C-200, a chef’s knife that vibrates at 30,000 times per second. This ultrasonic movement allows for incredibly smooth slicing and prevents food from sticking to the blade. It brings high-tech precision to the most analogue task in the kitchen. Learn more about the C-200 Ultrasonic Knife

7. Dreame Hair Dryer Lamp

We love innovations that save space and add style. Dreame showcased a hair dryer that disguises itself as a sleek floor lamp. When you are done drying your hair (hands-free, while you scroll on your phone), it returns to being a stylish light fixture. It is a brilliant example of tech blending into our interior design. See the Dreame Hair Dryer Lamp concept

8. Lego Smart Play System

Lego is bridging the gap between physical and digital play with its new Smart Bricks. These standard-sized bricks contain chips that can sense motion, orientation, and proximity to other bricks. It opens up a new world of interactive play for families, starting with immersive Star Wars sets that respond to how you build them. Read about the Lego Smart Play System

9. Birdfy Hum Bloom

For those who love their outdoor space, the Birdfy Hum Bloom is a delightful addition. It is a smart feeder designed specifically for hummingbirds, using high-speed 4K cameras and AI to capture detailed videos of these fast-moving visitors. It connects nature with technology in a way that feels genuinely magical. View the Birdfy Hum Bloom details

10. Amazon Ember Artline

Amazon is challenging the frame TV market with the Ember Artline. This 4K QLED TV features a matte display and access to over 2,000 pieces of art. It uses AI to recommend artwork that matches your room’s décor, ensuring the TV enhances your interior design rather than dominating it. Read the full Amazon announcement

The pace of innovation in the home sector is accelerating. At Clicky, we are excited to see how these technologies will shape the way we live and the properties we market in the coming years.
