Perfect Bake Pro
Baking just became easier with the Perfect Bake Pro. It is available from Amazon for about $100.

Use the scale by itself, or connect the device to a phone app that will tell you how to make your favorite recipes.

 SmartPlate
This smart appliance makes it even easier to control your food portions. Simply place food on the plate, and it will weigh your food and tell you how many calories are in your meal. This is a particularly great option for those with diet goals. You can wirelessly connect your plate to your phone, and can keep track of your meals through their app without having to record your meals online or in a notebook. The app can also keep track of your workout goals and schedule. Think of SmartPlate as your nutritionist and personal trainer in one.

With this product, you’ll download their Juicero app to control the device, which will allow you to manage a weekly Juicero subscription service. This service will send you packs of raw, organic fruits and vegetables, which you will then use your smart juicer to make for you. Juicero is currently available only in California, but it will soon be available to purchase in other states.

The Wink Hub
This smart hub is available for less than $70 from Amazon (or $90 from other sellers). This hub works with a variety of different connectivity options and devices from different brands. Like the SmartThings hub, you’ll control Wink through the Wink app. The app and hub essentially allow your smart devices to communicate with one another, so that you can control them all on one platform.

The VeraEdge Hub
Another option for under $100, this smart hub will connect a variety of brands, and even other brand-specific smart hubs (like Nest). It can control hundreds of devices wirelessly. Create preferences for how your device should control your home when you’re at home or on vacation. Download the app to control your smart home from your phone, or even from your PC. For $50 more you can get the VeraPlus model, which allows you to more fully manage your home while you’re away. You can check in on your pets, receive alerts any time someone is in your home, and monitor your home while you’re away for possible flood damage from a storm.
