Once again– I’m in Vegas at CES– walking, walking and walking
Last year I hit about 22,000 steps each day — let’s see what happens this year
A HUGE category here at CES 2020 is the CONNECTED HOME
And with LiftMaster’s expanded suite of Smart Home Access products, you can monitor and control main entry points from anywhere – using the myQ App.
LiftMaster has just launched the FIRST Garage Door Opener with a built-in Camera and 2-way audio communication (starts at $450 including installation)—so you can see and talk with anyone in the garage right through your smartphone using the myQ app.
LiftMaster and Yale Locks have teamed up to create “Deadbolt and Lever Connected Locks” which are also synced to the myQ app. (The locks start at $260, including the lock and Lock Wi-Fi® Bridge.)
So here’s one example on how all this can all work together—
Let’s say you’re getting a package delivered using “Key by Amazon In-Garage Delivery.”
The Delivery-person can approach your garage door—it will open—you will get a notice on your phone—
The door to your home that’s in the garage will automatically LOCK securing your home—
The package is dropped off—the Delivery person leaves—the garage door closes and the door to your home in the garage UNLOCKS—and again you get a notice.
And all of this is captured on your in-garage camera—
It’s Seamless Smart Home Access

Next to help you sleep easy—check out the new Hatch Restore
What’s unique about this product is that it’s a bedside reading light, clock, sleep sounds generator, sunrise alarm—and that you can personalize the going to sleep routine and the waking up routine.
And sleep experts say the secret to a good night’s sleep is all about creating a predictable sleep routine.
The sleep sounds include white noise, water and wind
The reading light has minimal blue light to help you wind down and prepare to sleep
Using the Hatch free-app you can program your sleep routine and your wake up routine— you decide what works best for you—
