GE Appliances has its eye on that space above your stove for its latest contribution to the smart home movement. The manufacturer has created a smart home hub designed to act as the control center of your kitchen, the company announced on Monday at the CES tech show here in Las Vegas. GE didn't say how much the hub will cost, but it should be available in the second half of 2018. (It's unlikely to go on sale in the UK or Australia.)

The main goal of the hub is to act as the control center of your kitchen. It contains a 27-inch touchscreen that runs on an operating system called Haier U+ Smart Life Platform (Haier bought GE Appliances in 2016), so you can search for recipes, access your calendar and receive system updates automatically. The hub also contains two cameras: a forward-facing camera that lets you video chat and a cooktop-facing camera so you can capture and post pictures of your meals in progress.
