Have you ever wanted to have your fridge obey your commands? Well, now it will.

The 2018 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show kicked off in Las Vegas this week and so far there have been plenty of devices for the connected home.

LG rolled out a whole line of appliances that are connected to the internet. From their refrigerator to their washing machine, everything can be communicated with via WiFi. Samsung is in the same boat, as they just released their own fridge that you can talk to. 

Other items are getting Google Home and Amazon Alex integration, which means that you can command your appliances to do things.

Ashley Esqueda is with CNET and she joins Alex Cohen for a discussion about the power of the connected home at CES.
