It's never easy to get up in the morning, so the Vobot Alarm Clock is a new product debuting at CES 2017 that's designed to help make the process better. The alarm clock is designed to help lull users to sleep or wake them up in a peaceful manner by utilizing natural sounds, white noise or other auditory tunes. The internal speaker creates a room-filling sound without connecting to any external speakers thanks to the built-in 5W speaker.
The Vobot Alarm Clock features built-in connectivity to the Amazon Alexa voice assistant service to enable users to do things like order an Uber or a pizza. The Vobot clock can also connect to the Nest thermostat or the Philips Hue bulbs to make controlling your home via the clock a possibility.
