TCL Collective Series 005 from The Collective Loop on 8tracks Radio.

Everything seems to be smart these days from speakers, switches, plugs and more.  So why not ceiling fans? A ceiling fan might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to the smart home, but there are perks to an automated fan. Adding voice controls, schedules and even IFTTT recipes to a ceiling fan creates a more convenient smart home and a more comfortable living environment.



The Bond($100) device is the flagship product for its parent company, Olibra. The Bond smartens ceiling fans by acquiring the signal from the device's original infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF)

The Bond works with Amazon Alexa devices and Google so you can ask your voice assistant of choice to control your ceiling fan. The Bond app is available for iOS and Android devices, but the Bond itself doesn't work with HomeKit or Siri. In the future, they're looking to make it work for Windows AC's, Garage Doors and Motorized shades.

Kristen Meyer has created an aesthetically minimal and artistic view of fruits, crackers, and other food precisely arranged into beautiful patterns. Not only does it look great but it looks good enough to eat as well.  She did a great job of tricking the eye and providing patterns that are pleasing to the eye.

I'm a sucker for radio's and nostalgic looks as well as updated type versions. The Tivoli Model One Bluetooth Radio ($179) keeps the understated retro looks of Henry Kloss's design and its world-class FM and AM analog tuning but adds the ability to stream music wirelessly from your phone. The compact cabinet and single speaker setup continue to provide surprisingly rich sound, and there's still an auxiliary input on the back for some of the old school aux users. It also comes in 6 different variant colors to choose from.
