    Meross has a new mmWave presence sensor for just $36, and it works with Matter.

    The MS600 uses a combination of the super-precise radar tech, PIR, and light sensors to detect small movements, such as breathing, as well as general motion and light levels.

    The sizeable sensor works over Wi-Fi and is powered via USB-C. It’s Matter-compatible, so works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and more. It’s available for preorder now at meross.com.

    <em>The Meross MS600 has to be plugged in and can be wall mounted.</em>
    <em>It comes with an adjustable mount that rotates 90 degrees vertically and 360 degrees around.</em>

    Hey, parents, Spotify has some tips on navigating your kids’ digital listening world.

    The streaming music service has launched a new Parental Guide detailing its tools for managing your kids’ listening habits as well as its efforts to keep the platform safe.

    Spotify’s actual parental controls are limited to filtering out explicit content and controlling the playback of certain artists. For a fully curated experience, you’ll need to spring for Spotify Kids, which is part of the Premium Family package.

    Zero to 100 in 40 seconds? Yes, please.

    With burners that pack 10kw of peak power, this induction stove from Impulse Labs can boil a liter of water in 40 seconds. (That’s 100 degrees Celsius for most of the world).

    Developed by former Google Glass and Oculus engineer Sam D’Amico, the stove has a built-in battery and works with a standard 120v outlet. It launches later this year for $6,000.
