Third Reality, Inc. has announced plans to attend CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The company is known for making smart home products that work with open standards. At this event, Third Reality shared details about its upcoming product lineup including new smart sensing and lighting devices. The goal with these new items is to meet practical needs in homes, using technology that works locally and does not always rely on the cloud.
The company’s 2026 roadmap focuses on smart devices that use open standards like Zigbee and Matter. This means that their products are built to work with other brands and systems. Third Reality continues to promote compatibility with major smart home platforms. This approach is meant to give customers more choices and help avoid problems that come from using devices that only work with one company’s system.
New products introduced by Third Reality at CES 2026 include an updated line of sensors and smart lighting. These devices are designed to better understand what is happening in a home and react to changes. For example, sensors can tell when a room is empty or if there is movement, and the lighting can adjust based on these signals. The company aims to make these devices easier to set up and use, while keeping privacy in mind by handling much of the processing in the home itself rather than sending data outside.
Third Reality also stressed its support for local-first intelligence. This means that many of the smart features will work even if the internet connection goes down. By focusing on local processing, the company wants to give customers more control over their devices and data. This is part of a larger trend in the smart home market where users are looking for more privacy and reliability.
The company’s presence at CES 2026 is meant to show its commitment to open standards and user-friendly smart home technology. Third Reality believes that by building products around real needs and focusing on compatibility, it can help more people use smart home features in their daily lives. The new devices introduced at the event are expected to be available to customers in 2026.
