Its conversational AI agent is called ThinQ Claw (a riff on OpenClaw) and builds on its acquisition of Homey.

According to Smartlights, Philips Hue is planning to launch a wall light module and adapters for Nanoleaf Triangle, Mini Triangle, and Hexagon panels. It’ll reportedly cost around €40, but that might be worth it if I could control my lights without using Nanoleaf’s laggy app.
As spotted by HueBlog, the Hue Play Sync Box Lite is a stripped-down version of the Hue Play Sync Box, a device that connects to your TV to sync your Hue lights with the content.
Listed at a British retailer for £109.99, about $150, the Lite looks to be less than half the price of the existing 8K model, with a single HDMI output and support up to 4K. With IFA around the corner, we should hear more about this and Hue’s rumored camera soon.
The Shelly Flood S Gen4 is a $28 flood sensor that supports Matter, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee, so it should fit into any smart home setup. It also has a built-in alarm. Two-year battery life on a single CR123A is impressive; Ikea’s Klippbok leak sensor gets a year (but costs half as much). Wireless leak sensors are more flexible than wired models; you can just stick this under your washing machine, and you’re good to go.
Correction: This story previously said the sensor uses a coin cell battery; it’s a CR123A.
