    LG’s side table grow light is also a speaker.

    For the ultimate in multitasking, this “Indoor Garden” from LG is a grow light, accent light, and a speaker all in one.

    It’s still a concept product, but it can auto water your garden while it grows and also play it some tunes from the 120 watt, 4.1 channel sound system.

    This smart crib can tell when your baby poops.

    The Revol from Bosch, China, has a sensor that detects changes in air quality and can tell you when it’s time to change that diaper.

    The $1,000 crib also features a camera, microphone, and mmWave radar sensor to monitor vital signs such as heart and respiratory rates. It’s launching in China this year; no word on a US release date.

    <em>The smart crib was on display at CES Unveiled in Las Vegas this week. It also has a Bosch Automotive motor built in that can rock your baby back to sleep.</em>
    <em>An accompanying app streams live footage of the crib and provides data from its sensors for health monitoring. </em>
