Built around four product categories, namely smart charging and creative products, smart office products, smart audio and visual products, and smart storage products, its business covers over 180 countries and regions, serving more than 300 million users.<\/p>\n<p>Flying from San Diego to Boston was to be my very first flight since 2019, before COVID, but my trip nearly ended before it even began. When I arrived at San Diego International Airport, I learned that my non-stop flight to Boston had been cancelled, due to not having a flight crew! The best that could be booked were two later flights with a long stopover in Phoenix, Arizona.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazyautosizes lazyload\" alt=\"My direct flight to Boston was CANCELLED(Jan Wagner)\" width=\"1800\" data- src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/DMT-L-AUTOM-GREEN-2.jpg\" \/>My direct flight to Boston was CANCELLED<br \/>\n(Jan Wagner)<\/p>\n<p>I arrived at Boston Logan International Airport just before midnight. From there I secured ground transportation for the one-hour drive to my hotel in Foxborough, next to Gillette Stadium (fun fact: the highway signs say Foxboro, not Foxborough, for larger, easier-to-read lettering). By the time I got into my hotel room it was after 2 a.m. \u2014 and I needed to be checked out and at the UGREEN group breakfast at 8 a.m.!<\/p>\n<p>At the Smart Living Launch Event, UGREEN named New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez its Global Brand Ambassador.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing a growing consumer concern for privacy, UGREEN announced that they are moving \u201cAI processing, storage, and device control into the home with its local-first HomeAgent ecosystem, reducing reliance on cloud services.\u201d UGREEN HomeAgent is a powerful, sophisticated, local AI hub that unifies local storage, local computing and whole home control in one system, connecting UGREEN indoor and outdoor cameras, smart speakers, photo frames and more, as well as a growing range of third-party devices, creating an AIoT ecosystem that keeps learning and improving.
