SwitchBot Curtain
SwitchBot Curtain promises to make your curtains smart in seconds, enabling you to affordably automate any existing curtains.
Supporting Alexa, Google Home, and Siri, SwitchBot can be installed within 30 seconds without the need for screws, nuts or bolts. It can then be controlled via the app and set up to sync with your sleep cycles.
The SwitchBot Curtain has a built-in sunlight sensor. This can help save energy by reducing the workload on your air-conditioning and heating. It can be set to automatically close during the day time in summer to block out the sunlight and keep your room cool. You can also have it automatically open during the day in winter to warm your room.
In addition, you can also install the solar power strip add-on to charge the SwitchBot Curtain’s battery using sunlight, thus eliminating the need to recharge the battery.

Morph Smart Power Bank
Morph is a smart power bank with modular batteries, three USB-C PD ports, 100W AC and the ability to recharge in 1.5 hours.
Charge all your devices at the same time with 20,400mAh of portable, supercharging power. Swap out batteries to instantly double your capacity to 40,800mAh with Morph’s swappable battery options. That means you can charge up to two MacBook Pro 13” with one portable pack.
Morph uses a proprietary modular battery system that lets you easily swap batteries for a fresh charge without removing any connections. This system gives you virtually unlimited power and allows you to recharge Morph in seconds, rather than hours.
Morph has all the ports and outlets you need in a power bank — including dual USB-C PD ports, dual QC 3.0 USB-A ports, Qi Wireless Charging, and even an AC outlet.
As well as the ability to charge the Morph through a cable, the power bank can also be charged by solar power.

CastAway Case Smartphone Screen
The castAway case is an ultra-slim removable screen created by Ken Mages, a 40-year veteran of the electronics industry. Ken brought on a skilled product designer, Joe Jasinski – the former head of industrial design at Dell – along with two former executives from Microsoft and Intel to create this device.
The castAway case is compatible and pairs with your phone, allowing you to open multiple apps at once, copy/paste, and access files and photos between screens. The second screen is actually a powerful tablet containing a 1.5 GHz processor and a 5.8 or 6.3- inch display. It charges via one of two USB Type-C ports and has a battery life similar to that of the average smartphone.
The built-in tablet runs the latest version of Chrome OS. Both the tablet and your iOS or Android smartphone need to use an app called MultiTask+, which pairs the devices and enables them to communicate over an encrypted WiFi channel.
