LAS VEGAS—With so many digital home devices on display, the show floor at CES this year almost felt more like a gigantic house than a convention center. OK, it didn’t really, but it’s safe to say that a truly connected home is no longer a futuristic concept.

Everything I saw was geared toward simplifying your life or automating your experiences around the house. Why wash one load of laundry at a time when you can do two? Have trouble keeping plants alive? There’s an app—and a pot—for that. Even the most seemingly mundane household chores, like boiling a cup of water for tea, have been addressed in such a way that it makes you wonder why you ever listened to a kettle scream on the stove all these years.

There are also plenty of options if you want to ramp up security, cook more interesting meals, or even have a better checkup at the dentist. If there’s something you typically do around the house, chances are some company has come up with a smarter way to do it.

There were so many cool connected products on display this year, it was hard to narrow them down. I chose 10 for this list, but there were plenty more that could have easily made the cut. Because the digital home is still a relatively new space, it’ll be interesting to see which players are able to best command consumer attention in the year ahead—and whether users want to automate everything in their homes in the first place.
