Luzi Smart Lamp is voice-activated and moonlights as a charger and organizer

By

Ready to part with that boring lamp on your nightstand, the one with the tattered shade that your grandmother gave to you? The Luzi Smart Lamp is a modern alternative that claims to improve your sleep quality.

Using electronics that emit blue light before bed has been found to negatively impact sleep, and Luzi uses a combination of LEDs and low-frequency sounds to help soothe you to slumber land. When it’s time to get up, the lamp will adjust to play new sounds for a gentle wake-up. Use voice-command technology to turn it on or set an alarm.

Luzi creators didn’t just create a cool sound machine-and-lamp combination, they made a multi-purpose nightstand organizer. The lamp has an integrated Bluetooth speaker, temperature sensors, alarm clock, USB ports, and wireless charging stations. It even charges Apple Watches. The creators also envision it working with other parts of your smart home by locking doors and turning off other lights.

Meet Luzi

If you want, you can even personalize the lamp’s display to feature local weather, the date, and different designs. “Luzi is the most advanced smart lamp ever made,” said Joel Burke, co-founder and CEO of Luzi, in a statement. He also claimed the lamp could provide health benefits, which always makes us a little wary. And while the video shows a guy happily chatting with his Luzi, the voice commands are a little more basic right now and include “light on,” “set alarm,” and “start sleep cycle.”

The Luzi team just put the lamp on Indiegogo in hopes of raising $50,000 to begin the production process. You can pre-order the Luzi Smart Lamp starting at $269 with an expected delivery date of March 2016. Currently only black and white lamps are available.

This smart display alternative can now use AI to plan all your meals
The Skylight Cal Max installed on a wall.

Skylight is a smart home company that produces a variety of smart display alternatives, such as the Skylight Cal Max. These serve as a central hub for all your daily planning -- they’re primarily used as a digital calendar, but you can also use them to track chores, make lists, or meal prep. That last aspect just became much more exciting, as Skylight is officially introducing Sidekick, an AI-powered assistant that can plan all your meals in just a few minutes.

Sidekick is a new AI feature for Skylight devices. It’s capable of generating personalized recipes based on your budget, family size, and dietary restrictions, and it’ll even create a shopping list and load up step-by-step cooking instructions. Skylight hopes the new feature will save families 10 hours every month, as they’ll no longer need to worry about the logistics surrounding meal prep.

Why you should buy the Govee Icicle Lights
I love Govee products. Since buying the Govee Lyra Smart Floor Lamp, I’ve been consistently impressed by how well its products work while being very keenly priced. It’s a different kind of technology than the best cheap smart light bulbs but it’s perfect for stringing together some lights around your home or room. The only downside is the company's app isn't as stylish as the Hue one but you get all the same benefits for a much better price.
