All new HomeKit equipment at CES 2021

Cupertino, January 31, 2021

The fully virtual CES 2021 was smaller than in previous years, but there was a large amount of HomeKit products unveiled at the event. Here's a first look at what to expect in 2021.

Lutron has one of the most powerful portfolios on the market and is getting even stronger with the addition of its new smart outdoor plow. The Smart Box Outdoor plug has an exceptionally robust design of our time with the product. It feels very dense, unlike most others that feel empty and plastic.

The Lutron smart outdoor plug has an IP65 rating that will withstand active water jets from any angle for 30 minutes. This is more than enough to survive the snowy winters, rainy springs and smoldering summers that customers endure.

Users can pair the smart outdoor pair with Lutron's Pico remote for physical control.

The Lutron Cassette outdoor smart plug will be launched at Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's and others in March for $ 79.95.
