Phyn home water monitoring device
If you're passionate about saving water in your home, the 'Phyn' home water monitoring system could stop you from flushing excess water and money down the drain.
Phyn is installed underneath a kitchen sink by the plumbing and it will tell you how much water is being used by every fixture in your home.
It will also let you know if there is a leak anywhere in your home.
Phyn costs $300. You can install it by yourself with the help of a video tutorial supplied by the company or by a licensed plumber.
Zibrio Smart Scale
A new technologically enhanced scale called 'Zibrio' tells you how much you weigh and how your balance is too.
It can then use your balance measurement to calculate your risks of falling because of it.
Andrea Case-Rodgers from Zibrio Inc. says, "Most people don’t realize their balance changes from one day to the next and this helps give people an early alert for when their balance starts to deteriorate."
The smart scale works with an app to help you improve your balance and lower your fall risk.
Zibrio can be pre-ordered online for $250 and will ship in April.
Trova safe storage device
Keeping your personal items safe is important, regardless of whether it's at home or at work. Now new tech is hoping to help you keep your valuables in a secure spot.

The smaller ones cost $250 and the larger ones cost $700.
CES 2020 runs from Tuesday 7th January until Friday 10th January.
