Hisense has showcased its latest smart home innovations at CES 2026, revealing another generation of intelligent appliances designed to work seamlessly through its unified ConnectLife platform.
Spanning kitchen, laundry and air conditioning, the 2026 portfolio demonstrates how connected technology can adapt intuitively to lifestyles while remaining practical, accessible and easy to use.
“Hisense’s 2026 smart home range reflects a commitment to designing technology with purpose. From energy-efficient performance and durable products to intelligent systems that reduce waste and complexity,” Hisense Australia and New Zealand managing director Kevin Ke says.
ConnectLife: Smarter, more personalised assistance
The middle of Hisense’s smart ecosystem is the evolved ConnectLife platform, now enhanced with AI-powered assistants that learn user habits and manage tasks automatically. ConnectLife can adjust air conditioning, recommend meals and wine pairings or optimise washing cycles, simplifying daily routines and delivering a personalised smart home experience.
Supporting thousands of Matter-enabled and Google Home devices, ConnectLife allows Australians to integrate existing smart products into a fully coordinated home ecosystem.
Smarter kitchens
The PureSmart fridge features dual displays for smart home control and core fridge functions, plus antibacterial coating, metal-tech cooling, UV water treatment and deep-freeze capabilities. Integrated with ConnectLife, it can suggest recipes, guide food prep and coordinate with other appliances.
The Series 9 Smart Dishwasher uses AI Super Wash Technology to automatically optimise detergent, water and cycle settings. Smart Dry, multiple wash zones and a triple-spray arm ensure hygienic cleaning, while the system communicates with other appliances for maximum efficiency.
“Today’s consumers want technology that works around them, not the other way around,” Kevin says.
“ConnectLife and Smart-AI features give households control over energy use and daily routines, creating a home that’s more connected, efficient and enjoyable.”
