    You can finally put your face on your fridge ... for $600.

    Want to see your face when you grab your juice in the morning, or perhaps your kid’s artwork, or maybe an abstract piece from generative artist Matt Jacobson?

    Samsung’s MyBespoke fridge panels for its French door Bespoke refrigerators are now available, nearly a year after being announced.

    Just upload your design at Samsung.com when you buy the fridge and pay an extra $600 ( $300 per side). But they’re swappable. So if you fancy a new look in a few months, you have (expensive) options.

    Apple’s new HomePod plays it safe

    TP-Link made its first Matter device available today for $19.99 through Amazon.

    The Tapo P125M Mini Smart Plug is one of just two Matter-enabled smart plugs you can buy. The other is from Meross. (Eve’s option requires an OTA update). But judging by recent announcements, we shouldn’t have to wait too long for more Matter stuff.

    The new plug will work with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings through Matter, as well as TP-Link’s Tapo app.

    TP-Link’s Tapo P125 is one of the first Matter-enabled smart plugs you can buy.

    Blink’s first wired outdoor camera is now available.

    The smart home camera company known for its battery tech is launching its first hardwired security camera today.

    Announced last September, the $99.99 Blink Wired Floodlight Camera features person detection with local processing, plus local storage (with its Sync Module 2). This is the first camera from Blink — which is owned by Amazon — to offer local processing powered by Amazon’s AZ2 silicon chip.

    The Blink’s new wired floodlight camera is its first with local video processing.
