Wyze is responsible for some of the best smart scales on the market, with products like the Wyze Scale, Wyze Scale S, and Wyze Scale X gracing its catalog. All these give you an easy way to track a variety of health metrics — including not just weight, but also body fat, heart rate, and body mass index (BMI). Its catalog is growing a bit larger today with the Wyze Scale Ultra, which takes everything great about these past products and pairs them with a gigantic new display.

The Wyze Scale Ultra takes the same measurements as the Wyze Scale X, but it now offers a 4.3-inch full-color TFT display. That makes it easier than ever to check all your health data without needing to pull out your mobile phone and check the companion app. It’s highly customizable too, so whether you want to check trends in your weight or see multiple stats at once, this smart scale is more versatile than most others on the market.

Along with tracking a long list of health metrics, the Wyze Scale Ultra  offers Wi-Fi support. This allows you to check your data remotely, something that’s not possible on most other smart scales. Toss in additional modes for babies, pets, and luggage, and you’ve got a smart scale that’s remarkably versatile.

The Wyze Smart Scale Ultra syncs with Apple Health, Fitbit, and Google Fit, so if you’re already using those apps, the scale should slip into your lifestyle nicely.

Beyond these useful features, the scale itself looks quite premium. Built with anti-slip floor contacts, a nine-month battery life, and ITO conductive glass, it’ll look right at home in most bathrooms and gyms.

The Wyze Scale Ultra is now available for $44 and is sold in both black and white variants. Wyze also recently launched the Duo Cam Doorbell, Cam Floodlight Plug-In Mount, and Wyze Cam v4: Limited Edition Clear. You’ll find all these new products on the official Wyze website.

Arlo ditches the need for a hub with its new Pro 4 and Ultra 2 cameras
The Arlo Pro 4 installed outside.

As the holiday season approaches and the need for improved home security grows, Arlo has added two new options to its home security lineup: The Arlo Pro 4 and the Arlo Ultra 2 spotlight cameras. These cameras not only utilize color night vision, but also have built-in spotlights to pinpoint activity in their field of view and potentially scare away intruders. The new cameras supplement the company's other recent budget offerings and continue to broaden its portfolio.

One feature of note is that both the Arlo Pro 4 and Arlo Ultra 2 cameras are wire-free and don't require dedicated hubs anymore, allowing for more diverse placement. With no need for a hub to connect them to a wireless network, you aren't limited by the proximity of power outlets when placing these cameras.

This tiny smart puck can control your smart home without the need for mobile apps
The Linxura with four buttons on the screen.

My home is overrun with smart gadgets, and the main way I interact with them is through my smartphone. This is usually a robust way to control my gadgets, as my phone is never far from my side -- whether I need to toggle my smart lights, adjust my air purifier, or change the thermostat, my smartphone lets me tackle most of these tasks in a matter of seconds. However, having a physical button to perform these actions would certainly be preferred. Instead of diving into apps and wading through menus and automations, a physical controller would perform actions at the press of a button, much like a remote works for a TV.

That’s the idea behind the Linxura Smart Controller -- a disc-shaped object that lets you perform a long list of actions at the press of a button. After syncing it with your smart devices, you’ll no longer need your companion mobile apps. Just tap or double-tap its outer ring, and you can toggle hundreds of different products. I’ve been testing it out in my home, and while I think it’s a fun device, it falls short in a few areas. But if you’re craving a physical remote for your smart home, there’s good reason to take a closer look at the innovative gadget.
