CES 2019 is just about to kick off, and as in the last few years, you can expect an outpouring of product news for hardware that supports one or more of the various voice assistants.

It's no secret that Google and Amazon are locked in battle for smart home supremacy. As the market share leaders, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant will make up the bulk of the voice support news. We have another post tracking all the Alexa announcements. Here we'll run down all the new Google Assistant devices.

You'll see many of the same products on both lists, thanks to savvy third-party device makers who want to give customers choice. Keep reading to see exactly where Google stands in this war of voice assistants. We'll update this post often too as CES runs its course, so check back frequently for new developments.

New things that work with Google Assistant

Here's the current list of novel CES products that manufacturers say will support Google's AI voice interface, in alphabetical order.

GE Lighting

C by GE smart lighting

GE's current line of smart lighting will enjoy tight integration with Google Assistant. Called C by GE, the lineup contains LED bulbs, light switches and dimmers, plus smart plugs and sensors. While you can also control the devices with Alexa, that setup requires an additional hub. Owners of Google Home devices won't need one, however. Instead they can operate GE lights directly through Assistant. Support for Apple HomeKit will arrive later this year as well.

Currant Smart Wall Outlet

This smart electrical outlet keeps an eye on the power usage of devices you connect to it. It'll then figure out which appliances are the most inefficient. That'll help you save money and cut down on energy waste. You can control the outlet with Google Assistant, the Currant mobile app or Alexa if you choose.

You'll also be able to check the Instant Pot's status hands-free though Google Home devices.

Klipsch Bar 40G sound bar

Most home theater rigs don't provide much free space to add extra components. Create a little more room with the 40-inch Klipsch Bar 40G sound bar. It's designed to offer the sound of multiple speakers in one. It also boasts native support for Google Assistant. That'll help you avoid additional clutter by not having to squeeze in a smart speaker, too.

The $999 Vuzix Blade might be the first pair of Alexa-compatible smart glasses. Its creators also say they'll add compatibility with Google Assistant in the future too.
