From voice-controlled assistant speakers to robot vacuums, and everything in between

Scott Scrivens

Millions of homes now contain a smart assistant speaker of some variety and sales of IoT products continue to grow as the market matures and prices come down across the sector. With so many options available, it's hard to know what to buy, and that's where we come in — this is a selection of our favorite smart home gadgets.

C by GE's new smart wall switches and dimmers don't need a hub or neutral wire

Manuel Vonau

C by GE's products are known to work well with Google Assistant — the company even sells a light bulb starter kit with a bundled Google Home Mini. This year at CES, C by GE is expanding its lineup with new switches, dimmers, and motion sensors that don't need a neutral wire nor an additional hub to work with the Assistant or Amazon Alexa.

GE's multicolor C-Life smart bulbs pair perfectly with Assistant speakers, snatch a pair for only $27 (50% off)

Cody English

Smart lighting is the first foray many customers make into the world of home automation. Still, one of the most annoying aspects of many first-generation smart bulbs is the requirement of an additional hub that delivers core features like remote commands or voice assistant functionality. General Electric's 'C by GE' line of bulbs have no such requirement, and you can currently pick up a two-pack of GE's multi-color lightbulbs at Best Buy for $26.99, which is a savings of $28 off the list price.

Watch this video showing the ludicrously convoluted 11-13 step reset process for C by GE bulbs

Ryne Hager

We're pretty big fans of the C by GE bulb line here at Android Police, given the features, Assistant integration, and excellent price point. Although we pointed it out how tedious the reset process for the smartbulbs was in our reviews, the official video by GE Lighting describing the process is currently making the rounds, and it's pretty funny.

GE C-Life Multicolor review: A smart bulb perfect for your Google Home, no Wi-Fi necessary

Corbin Davenport

Earlier this year, we reviewed the C by GE Smart Bulb — the first light bulb that connects directly to your Google Home using a mesh Bluetooth network. It's great to have a smart home device that doesn't require yet another app or account, and not only did the bulb work flawlessly for its intended purpose, but it's still a great value (you can currently get a two-pack for $17).

GE announced at CES 2019 that it would release color versions of the Smart Bulb, and now it has done just that. The confusingly named "C by GE A19 Bluetooth Smart LED Light Bulb Multicolor" is just as good as its predecessor, making it one of the best smart lights you can get.

Review: The GE C-Life is an affordable smart light bulb perfect for Google Home, no Wi-Fi necessary

Corbin Davenport

Most smart home products use one of four connectivity options — WiFi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Bluetooth Low Energy. Bluetooth products are a little less popular, because they can only be controlled locally via a smartphone, or remotely if the company makes its own Bluetooth to WiFi hub. General Electric's C-Life A19 bulbs use Bluetooth too, but they're special because they're one of the few products that can use a Google Home speaker as their hub.

The C-Life Smart Bulb has no separate account to manage, no additional hubs to plug into your router, and no Wi-Fi connections to deal with. All you need is a Google Home, the Home app, and you're set.
