Smart home devices launching in Australia — security cameras, doorbells, lighting, thermostats and voice assistants. What’s new, what works with what, and Aussie availability.
Ring has rebooted its floodlight lineup for 2026, and the new Floodlight Camera 2K (2nd Gen) is the model most Australians will actually buy: Retinal 2K video, motion-activated floodlights, two-way talk and a siren — hardwired to the house for around-the-clock power. At $329 RRP it’s not cheap, and the old Floodlight Cam Wired Pro…
Nobody can tell you what the iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo actually costs in Australia — because nobody seems to agree. The official RRP is $1,499. iRobot’s own Australian store slashed it to $699… then ran out of stock… then quietly removed it from the lineup entirely. David Jones will sell you one right now…
Quick verdict The Ring Battery Video Doorbell Pro (2nd Gen) is Ring’s most advanced battery-powered video doorbell — and it’s currently the easiest premium doorbell deal in Australia. It launched in April 2026 at a $399 RRP, but it’s now $249 direct from Ring Australia (and $248 at Joyce Mayne), a full $150 off. That’s…
Quick verdict The Ring Spotlight Cam 2K (2nd Gen) is the first proper overhaul of Ring’s most popular outdoor camera in nearly a decade — and it’s a meaningful one. The 1080p sensor is gone, replaced by 2K “Retinal” video with up to 6x enhanced zoom; the spotlights jump from 300 to 550 lumens; and…
Philips Hue 2026: the complete Australian price list Philips Hue announced its 2026 range on 3 September 2026 at IFA Berlin — and unlike most international tech launches, Australia was not left waiting.

EZVIZ vs Eufy: Australia’s subscription-free security showdown EZVIZ vs Eufy is the comparison most Australian smart-home shoppers end up making, for one simple reason: both ecosystems let you skip the monthly subscription. EZVIZ gear starts at $249.95 in Australia and Eufy’s doorbell range starts around $349, and both record locally instead of holding your footage…
Eufy Video Doorbell S4 Australia: VR viewing doorbell Eufy’s 2026 flagship doorbell is the world’s first with VR/panoramic viewing. 3K HDR sensor, 180° field of view, AI visitor tracking, radar + dual PIR motion detection. What’s new The VR/panoramic viewing is genuinely novel — no other doorbell offers it. The 180° FOV and AI tracking…
TCL VoxIN smart air conditioners: voice control that survives a dead internet The TCL VoxIN smart air conditioners range arrived in Australia in September 2026, and it marks something of a pivot for a brand most Australians know from televisions. This is TCL’s first serious push into home comfort here — a four-model line of…
Apple HomePad Australia: price and release date (rumour briefing) Update 6 Oct 2026: MacRumors (March 2026) now reports the HomePad is expected in fall 2026 (Sept–Dec), not mid-October as earlier rumoured. The short version — and the important caveat: Apple has not announced the HomePad. Everything below comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman via 9to5Mac, who…
