Eve adds a Matter over Thread dimmer switch.
The smart home company that’s all in on the new wireless protocol has announced its much-anticipated dimmer switch.
The hardwired switch will ship in mid-March for $49.95 and works with single-pole and 3-way configurations. Matter over Thread support means it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings over a local mesh network, but requires a Thread border router.

A smarter Alexa, new Echo hardware, and a lot of Panos Panay. We’re pumped!

My iPhone’s Action Button will soon summon Taylor Swift.
The iOS 18.4 beta adds a new Ambient Music category to the Control Center, bringing Chill, Productivity, Sleep, and Wellbeing buttons that let you start an Apple Music playlist with a swipe and tap.
They’re linked to a playlist by default, but 9to5Mac reports you can customize them to kick off any playlist in your library and assign one to the Action Button.
“Ultimate TayTay,” your time has come.

Skylight just doubled its subscription price.
Right after I published this review, the price increased to $79 from $39. That’s a big jump. While optional, the subscription adds the Sidekick feature, which I found very useful, so I’ve updated the review with my thoughts.
The company says it will honor the old price for current users, that the new price “reflects the full suite of new features” it has added to Plus, and that it will “continue investing in Plus through new features and expanding Sidekick.”

Get a look at this stunner.
We just got the first glimpse of the TM7, the next generation of my favorite robotic sous chef, the Thermomix TM6. The smart multi-cooker debuted in an Instagram story and sports an all-new streamlined design, possibly some RGB lighting, and definitely a much bigger screen. And is that a drawer handle I see?
It’s launching in Europe first and coming to the US in late 2025. I’m hoping for voice control and some better smart kitchen integrations.

This tiny robot has big cleaning ambitions.
One of a new breed of robot vacuums that incorporates a manual stick vac, the Switchbot K10 Plus Pro Combo launched this week for $799 (with a $200 discount at launch).
An upgrade to the K10 Plus, my pick for the best robot vacuum for small spaces, the Combo adds a stick vacuum that empties into the base station, bumps up the suction power of the robot vacuum to 3,000 PA, and brings better obstacle avoidance.
If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.
