I've spent the past week sifting through the biggest announcements of CES 2024. And while useful gear like the Linxura Smart Home Controller and LG's all-in-one AI washing machine earned a spot on my roundup of the best smart home devices of CES, that doesn't necessarily mean they're my favorite. No, for me the unsung hero of this year's show was the Twinkly smart curtain lights.
This $200 canvas consists of smart LED string lights with the highest density in their class. Each of these pill-shaped lights works together to create animated graphics and ambient lighting on any wall. The curtain won't make your day easier and is pricey for decor. But this niche smart lighting system can enhance any living space whether it's through setting a room's mood with exciting color-changing patterns or looping a GIF to share with company on your wall.
