Home Depot today revealed four new products joining its catalog later this year, including a new smart bulb and a robust smoke alarm from Ring and Kidde. However, none of these upcoming devices will be compatible with Hubspace — Home Depot’s user-friendly smart home platform. Despite the omission, there’s still a lot to look forward to at the retailer.
The most exciting product of the bunch is a collaboration between Ring and Kidde. First debuted at CES 2025, the Kidde Smart Smoke & Smart Combo Alarm with Ring Technology will be arriving exclusively at Home Depot this April. The two devices are designed to detect smoke three times more precisely and up to 25% faster than the competition.
Once an issue is detected, you’ll get real-time notifications via the Ring app. You also won’t have to worry about the grating low-battery chirping, as Ring will send you an in-app alert when it’s time for a replacement.
Home Depot also revealed the EcoSmart Universal Select Light Bulb. Designed to work with any wattage light fixture, it simplifies the process of finding a smart bulb for your home. It also lets you choose from six different shades of white, with brightness adjustable up to 1250 lumens.
If you find the world of smart lights a bit overwhelming, this is an excellent place to start. It’s expected to launch by the end of April.
Beyond smart home devices, the Cedar exterior stain color from BEHR will be available on March 19. BEHR named it the 2025 Exterior Stain Color of the Year, and it’s a solid choice for decks, fences, and other outdoor surfaces that need a durable finish.
Then, in June, Home Depot will carry the Makita MAKTRAK Tool Storage System, which features a horizontal-based design and dual hinges for easy access. It’s a convenient and portable way to carry all your tools. So if all your gear is currently stashed haphazardly throughout the garage, consider giving it a closer look.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
